Prognosis is poor without early, aggressive treatment. There are three subtypes of NSTI. [merckmanuals.com]
Certain factors affect treatment options and prognosis (chance of recovery). The treatment options and prognosis (chance of recovery ) depend on the following: The type of soft tissue sarcoma. The size, grade, and stage of the tumor. [cancer.gov]
Several factors including the small number of identified cases, the lack of large clinical studies, and the possibility of other unknown influencing factors prevent physicians from developing an accurate picture of associated symptoms and prognosis. [rarediseases.org]
