Yes: Survival from liposarcoma depends on size, grade, and location of the tumor together with whether it has been completely removed with good margins. Low grade rarely metastasize, but may degenerate into higher grade. Often, the liposarcomas may return, especially if located intraabdominally. They may need to be aggressively but judiciously re-resected.
