Abstract

Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) are rare tumors accounting for 1%–2% of all solid malignancies and 10%–20% of sarcomas. Surgery is the main treatment modality for patients with RPS. To date, there is no established model to predict perioperative risks for RPS patients. In this study, we evaluate the association between preoperative sarcopenia,hypoalbuminemia, and frailty and 30-dayperioperative morbidity and survival in patientswith RPS undergoing surgical resection. Ourgoal is to determine the ability of these factorsto predict surgical and oncological outcomes inthese cases.
