Background: The most striking clinical feature of soft tissues sarcomas (STS) is their ability to recur. At present disputes about the clinical and morphological factors of STS recurrence such as the degree of malignancy, size, location, depth of tumor location, patient's age and the presence of previous relapses in the anamnesis do not subside. It also requires clarification of the effect of the volume of tissues removed on the long-term results of treatment of STS as well as indications for the application of various regimes of remote radiation therapy. Materials and methods: Of 1802 registered cases of STS of extremities at the N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Center of Oncology from 2004 to 2016 there were selected data on 213 patients who suffered from at least one relapse of the disease. There was performed an assessment of overall, non-metastatic and disease-free survival using a single-factor (the Kaplan-Meier method) and multivariate analysis (the Cox regression model). Conclusion: The detection of various prognostic factors of locally recurrent STS allows determining the necessary treatment tactics (the vastness and traumatism of surgery and the advisability of radiation therapy).
