Oncological Outcome of Surgically Resected Sternal Tumors, 16 Years’ Experience

BACKGROUND: Tumors of the sternum are rare and can develop from primary bone pathology or through metastatic spread. Sternal resection with immediate reconstruction anterior chest wall defect was recommended for both secondary sternal tumors as curative treatment. AIM: The purpose our study to examine perioperative outcomes, recurrence rate, OS in patients undergoing partial, subtotal, total sternectomy. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed experience resections 29 during a 16-year period. overall survival (OS) RESULTS: found that 5-year 26.0%, Univariate analysis predictors revealed that, there trend toward prolonged at R0 (35.5% vs. 0%, p = 0.058). Post size associated (42.1% < 0.001). absence post-operative complications (40.4% 0.012), special attention flail which (36.2% On multivariable analysis, (HR, 3.692 [95% CI, 1.190–11.456], 0.024) 52.204 5.908–461.289], 0.001) were improved OS. CONCLUSIONS: have shown benign malignant yield long-term survival. completeness postoperative strongest
