Table 4.

Rates of local Tumor Progression and Recurrence by Anatomic Group

Procedure Site	No. of Tumors	Total Local Recurrences	Average Time to Recurrence (mo)	Type
Procedure Site	No. of Tumors	Total Local Recurrences	Average Time to Recurrence (mo)	Procedural	Satellite
Retroperitoneal	75	12 (16)	5.5	3/12 (25)	9/12 (75)
Superficial	76	6 (8)	1.1	0/6	6/6
Intraperitoneal	39	2 (13)	2.3	0/2	2/2
Bone	34	1 (3)	42^*	0/1	1/1
Head/neck	27	5 (19)	3.4	0/0	5/5
Total	251	26 (10)^†	4.9	3/26 (12)	23/26 (88)

Values in parentheses are percentages.

The 42-month “average” time to recurrence is not an accurate depiction, as this value was derived from a single tumor.

^†

Of the total 26 recurrences (10%), three of 251 were within initial tumor margins, for a local tumor progression rate of 1.2%.
