Abstract

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a diverse group of malignant mesenchymal neoplasm.But, due to their low prevalence, very little data is available worldwide as well as in India regarding their clinico-epidemiological pattern.In this study we analysed the clinico-demographic profile of STS patients attending a tertiary care centre of Eastern India over the last 5 years. We analyzed the prospectively maintained database of a tertiary care centre of West Bengal in Eastern India, and collected the data regarding the demography, clinical profile, pathology and treatment of STS patients who attended our OPD between 2017–2021. The objective was to assess the demographic and clinical data of STS patients of Eastern India and compare it with those of the reported literature from rest of the country as well as outside world. Most of the cases (27%) were between 41–50 years of age group with a slight male predominance (Male: Female = 1.01:1). Spindle cell sarcoma was the most common (24.3%) histology followed by undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (15%) and extremities were the most common site of involvement (47.7%). 71% patients presented with stage III and advanced disease.81% patients underwent radical surgery,14% patient received neo-adjuvant and 60% received adjuvant radiotherapy.91% patients received systemic chemotherapy. To conclude, this study is one of its first from Eastern India and will act as a stepping stone for future studies concentrating on clinico-epidemiological profile, early diagnosis and treatment of STS.
