Role of nutritional status in the early postoperative prognosis of patients operated for retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RLS): A single center experience.

Purpose: To assess the nutritional status and its role in the outcome of patients operated for retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RLS).

Material And Methods: Retrospective study on consecutive patients operated with en bloc compartment resection for primary or local recurrence of RLS between 2016 and 2017.
