Data reported in days as mean (SD) [range]. values represent a comparison between effective TTI and reported TTI. ϕ = sarcoma physician and nonsarcoma physician providers were within our health system. # = TTI difference in days between reported TTI and effective TTI. ^ = index biopsy of the primary tumor site reported as first treatment (2 patients); repeat biopsy of the primary tumor site after nondiagnostic index biopsy reported as first treatment (5 patients); biopsy of a different site reported as first treatment (1 patient). In 7 patients with an index or repeat biopsy reported as first treatment, a new diagnosis date was calculated to determine effective TTI. |
