Metastatic Disease
The most common sites of metastases from liposarcoma are to the lungs, liver, peritoneal surfaces, and brain (1).
Prognosis
The prognosis varies depending on the site of origin, the type of cancer cell, the tumor size, the depth, and proximity to lymph nodes. Metastases are common. The 5 year survival rate for a high-grade liposarcoma is less than 50%.
