The results of marginal excision and irradiation (3, 000-5, 000cGy) in 9 patients with liposarcoma of soft tissue were analyzed to determine the effectiveness of radiation therapy. Only one out of 9 patients, who received 3000cGy, developed a local recurrence at 3 years and 3 months after surgery. The 5-year actuarial local control rate was 84.7%, which was similar to that by radical and/or curative wide resection in soft tissue sarcomas. In addition, histological examination disclosed that a liposarcoma with preoperative radiation fell into almost necrosis.It suggests that the combination of conservative surgery and radiation therapy in the treatment of liposarcomas is of use to maintain a functional limb.
