Aims: Key prognostic factors at diagnosis of synovial sarcoma are well defined from the literature. There are few data regarding prognostic parameters in the setting of advanced disease. Our aim was to look specifically at a cohort of patients with advanced synovial sarcoma and to identify potential prognostic factors.Patients and methods: One hundred and four patients with advanced synovial sarcoma were identified from the Royal Marsden Hospital's sarcoma database between 1978 and 2003. Patient data were analysed retrospectively. Most patients were aged between 20 and 50 years at diagnosis. Seventy-one patients were deceased at the time of analysis. Ninety-two patients received chemotherapy for management of advanced disease (most commonly doxorubicin + ifosfamide).Results: Median survival following development of advanced disease was 22 months. Predictors of survival with advanced disease were age
