    Compound hemipelvectomy offers a potential cure for localized, slow-growing tumors, even after multiple previous surgeries. This radical surgery, involving extensive resection, can lead to long-term disease-free survival in select patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Tumor Biology

    Background:

    • Compound hemipelvectomy is a radical surgical procedure for extensive pelvic tumors.
    • Previous surgeries and tumor infiltration often complicate treatment and prognosis.

    Observation:

    • Three patients with diverse, previously treated tumors underwent successful compound hemipelvectomy.
    • Resection included lower extremities, pelvic bones, and various organs, with successful management of recurrences and metastases.
    • Patients experienced long-term disease-free survival, with two fitted with prostheses and all adapting well physically and psychologically.

    Findings:

    • Adequate excision of slowly growing, localized tumors can achieve long-term disease control.
    • Systemic immunity may play a role in the favorable outcomes observed in these challenging cases.

    Implications:

    • Patients with seemingly incurable, localized tumors may be candidates for radical surgical resection.
    • Despite formidable surgical risks and disabilities, such cases warrant consideration for potentially curative treatment.
