To determine if changes in surrounding tissues of soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) evaluated by MRI during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) are associated with the histological response and satellite tumorous cells beyond the pseudocapsule on surgical specimen, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). ⋯ Surrounding tissues of STS during NAC should be carefully evaluated as they may steer treatment efficacy and patient prognosis.

Lymphatic interventions for isolated, iatrogenic chylous ascites: A multi-institution experience.
Lymphangiography and thoracic duct embolization are established treatments for post-surgical chylothorax. There is only limited experience in their application to treat post-surgical chylous ascites. A multi-center analysis of the technical and clinical success of lymphangiography and lymphatic interventions in the treatment of isolated, iatrogenic chylous ascites is reported. ⋯ Lymphatic interventions can successfully treat post-surgical chylous ascites. Given the low risk of procedural complication, early intervention is encouraged.
