Categories of noncurative surgery for retroperitoneal sarcoma include: i) grossly incomplete resection (R2) of primary or locally recurrent tumor; ii) resection in the setting of distant metastatic disease; and iii) true palliative-intent symptom-directed surgery. The value of R2 resection is debatable, since most series do not report initial operative intent. Debulking surgery provides symptom relief in the majority of patients, but relief is generally not durable. Quality of life is poorly studied.
