A LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP OF SYNOVIAL SARCOMA

H. U. Cameron 1; and J. P. Kostuik 1

1 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Toranto Hospital

1. Thirty-nine patients with synovial sarcoma have been reviewed.

2. The average rate of five-year survival was 45 per cent; of ten-year survival, 30 per cent; and of survival for more than ten years, 10 per cent.

3. The only important factor influencing the long-term results was the method of treatment; primary amputation was by far the best.

Note:

The authors would like to thank the surgeons of the Toronto teaching hospitals for allowing their patients to be used in this study, and Professor F. P. Dewar for his advice and encouragement.
