Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Dedifferentiated liposarcoma, the rarest form of liposarcoma, typically arises from a well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS). Its progression occurs in 17% of patients when WDLPS is located in the retroperitoneum and 6% when it occurs in the extremities. This condition is characterized as an atypical liposarcoma that changes over time, exhibiting varying histologic grades. It combines the features of a low-grade liposarcoma with those of a high-grade spindle cell sarcoma. This tumor predominantly affects adults beyond their 60s, with a slight male predominance, and is most commonly found in the abdominal cavity. The most frequently observed phenotype resembles pleomorphic malignant fibrous histiocytoma, although other sarcomatous phenotypes have been described less frequently. Surgical intervention is the primary treatment for dedifferentiated liposarcoma. · However, it is associated with a reported local recurrence rate of 41% to 52%, a distant met...
