Fig. 1From: Surgical management of sarcoma in adolescent and young adult patientsa Survival rates of the 18 patients with malignant bone or soft tissue tumors. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to generate survival curves. The 3-year survival rate was 61.36%. b Prognosis according to age. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to generate survival curves. The blue line represents the survival of younger patients (< 33 years). The red line represents the survival of older patients (≥ 33 years). The 3-year survival rates of the two groups were 60% and 56%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the 3-year survival rate based on age (P = 0.46). c Prognosis according to histological grade. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to generate survival curves. The blue line represents the survival of patients with low-grade sarcomas. The red line represents the survival of patients with high-grade sarcomas. The 3-year survival rates of the two groups were 100% and 42.8%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the 3-year survival rate based on tumor grade (P = 0.08)Back to article page
