Association between Treatment at High-Volume Facilities and Improved Overall Survival in Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Patients with soft tissue sarcomas, a group of rare malignancies that require complex management, may benefit from care at high-volume treatment facilities as such facilities may offer greater physician expertise, superior resource availability, and delivery of highly coordinated care. Using the National Cancer Database, we demonstrate an association between high facility case volume and overall survival in patients with soft tissue sarcomas; these findings support centralization of care for sarcomas.
