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