Methods: We identified 3245 cases of visceral sarcomas in the NCR dated 2016-2019 to analyze demographic and disease information, initial diagnostic process, volume and type of the hospitals, treatment, and prognosis.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the clinical presentation and outcomes of 33 patients with suspected urosymphyseal fistula (USF) following pelvic radiotherapy, focusing on diagnostic delays, symptoms, and treatment results over a median follow-up of 22 months.
- - Out of the 24 patients diagnosed with USF, the majority were elderly males, with local pain being the most common symptom, while a significant number faced delays in diagnosis and had complications, including osteomyelitis.
- - The findings suggest that endourologic procedures in patients who have received pelvic radiotherapy should be handled with care due to associated risks and potential complications.
