Is it possible to establish a calculable causal relationship between trauma and sporadic desmoid tumors?

Abstract

Traumatism and surgery are often found in the medical history of patients with sporadic desmoid tumors, as the recent article of the Mannheim Sarcoma Team has shown for 38.3% of patients. Still, it is not possible to establish a direct causality. Decoding the host environment can provide a more precise definition of any causal relationship.
