Talk:Liposarcoma

Just
Just a note that for diagnosis of liposarcomas, lipoblasts must be present... In case you want to add this to the article! :) - Natalie O'Halloran, med student. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.215.195.140 (talk) 12:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * "It is commonly believed that lipoblasts represent the hallmark of any liposarcoma subtype; however, it is important to emphasise that the mere presence of lipoblasts does not make (nor is required for) a diagnosis of liposarcoma" (Pathology and Genetics of Tumours of Soft Tissue and Bone, WHO, 2002) Bernhard138 (talk) 05:55, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Although - survival rates
Although I also agree that the information is inaccurate published survival rates vary widely and the most serious liposarcomas do indeed have a poor survival rate. As a liposarcoma survivor I've absorbed as much info as possible and been annoyed at the conflicting reports so I'm not surprised to see that reflected here. rbanzai May 16, 2006

This info is incredibly inaccurate, especially the information on metastases and survival rates. There are several types of liposarcoma, and the most common types have incredibly high 5-year survival rates -- 90% plus. Even the most serious types of liposarcoma (mixed cell, undifferentiated) have a better survival rate than what is posted here. Metastases are also relatively uncommon with the more frequent forms of liposarcoma.

The site seems to be the source of the <50% survival rate. RJFJR 20:45, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

suggesting template for Orthopaedic Conditions
I have been going through the list of orthopaedic conditions listed as stubs and suggesting this template for Orthopaedic Conditions (see Talk:Orthopedic surgery) Name Definition Synonyms Incidence Pathogenesis Pathology Stages Classification Natural History/Untreated Prognosis Clinical Features Investigation Non-Operative Treatment Risks of Non-Operative Treatment Prognosis following Non-Operative Treatment Operative Treatment (Note that each operations should have its own wiki entry) Risks of Operative Treatment Prognosis Post Operation Complications Management Prevention History --Mylesclough 05:49, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Draft:Liposarcoma Genome Project
There is an abandoned draft relating to this topic, if someone were able to review the material. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:27, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
