Objective: To understand the perception of quality of life, functionality, and psychological aspects of adults with lower limb sarcoma who underwent conservative surgery or amputation.
Methods: Sociodemographic data were collected, and the following questionnaires were used: EORTC QLQ - C30 for quality of life, the Functional Assessment System (MSTS) for functionality and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for depression symptoms.
Results: The sample consisted of 45 young adults with sarcoma, divided into two groups: amputation (29) and conservative surgery (16).
