Popis: BACKGROUND: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a rare malignant tumour of mesenchymal origin, which was conceived following re-classification of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH). The objective of this study is to determine prognostic factors for the outcome of UPS, following multi-modal treatment. METHODS: Data of UPS tumours from 1996 to 2016 were collected, totalling 266 unique UPS patients. Median follow-up was 7.8 years. All tumours were retrospectively analysed for prognostic factors of the disease, including local recurrence (LR) and metastatic disease (MD) at diagnosis, tumour size, grade, location and depth, patient age, adjuvant therapy and surgical margin. Overall survival (OS), post-treatment LR and metastatic-free survival were assessed as outcomes. RESULTS: The 5- and 10-year OS rates for all ages were 60% and 48%, respectively, with a median survival time of 10.1 years. Multivariate analysis revealed that the adverse prognostic factors associated with decreased OS were older age (P
