TABLE 1.

Proposed grouping criteria based on tumor factors

Carcinoma type Sarcoma type Dominant component No. 2-Year PFS (%) 5-Year PFS (%) Proposed categorization
Low-grade Homologous Carcinoma 96 (10.8%) 77.0 70.1 Type A
Low-grade Homologous Sarcoma 65 (7.3%) 57.4 47.4 Type B
Low-grade Heterologous Carcinoma 40 (4.5%) 54.1 54.1
Low-grade Heterologous Sarcoma 52 (5.8%) 55.5 48.8
High-grade Homologous Carcinoma 255 (28.7%) 59.2 47.5
High-grade Homologous Sarcoma 110 (12.4%) 47.5 41.5 Type C
High-grade Heterologous Carcinoma 134 (15.1%) 45.5 32.6
High-grade Heterologous Sarcoma 137 (15.4%) 48.2 35.3

Risk stratification based on three tumor factors: carcinoma component, sarcoma component, and sarcoma dominance

No. number, PFS progression-free survival
