Description: Question
A 24-year-old female underwent excision of a 3-cm monophasic synovial sarcoma in the posterior low neck in Mexico. The tumor had 5 mitoses/10 hpf. The patient underwent another wide re-excision in the United States with no evidence of sarcoma in the specimen. The metastatic workup was negative. Does she need adjuvant therapy?
