This really complicates surgery and worsens outcomes. Let's not kid ourselves: speaking of general outcomes for people with cancer, or liposarcoma, or even just pleomorphic lipsarcoma, don't really illustrate how dire his picture actually is, as suggested by research....Metastic pleomorphic liposarcoma in abdominal region may well respond briefly to chemo but is pretty much incurable and results are *dismal*.
