A clinicopathologic examination of myxofibrosarcoma. Do surgical margins significantly affect local recurrence rates in this infiltrative sarcoma subtype?

Positive margin procedures for MFS were associated with LR. However, negative surgical margins demonstrated a relatively high rate of LR compared to other soft tissue sarcoma subtypes. Furthermore, though MFS tends to locally recur and have a propensity for distant metastasis, patients are observed to have a higher probability of death from other causes.
