Chemotherapy before and after surgery for high-risk soft tissue sarcoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy both before and after surgery helps people with high-risk soft tissue sarcoma live longer and prevents the cancer from coming back. It aims to see if this treatment plan is more effective than surgery alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have soft tissue sarcoma that can be completely removed with surgery.
- Your tumor must show a genetic marker (CINSARC) that indicates high risk for spreading.
- You must have enough energy for daily activities (ECOG score 2 or lower).
- You must not have received previous chemotherapy for this sarcoma.
- You must agree to use effective birth control during and after treatment if you could become pregnant or father a child.

This trial tests a step-by-step (sequential) chemotherapy plan given before surgery for adults with specific types of soft tissue sarcoma. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor before the operation and see how well this approach works and is tolerated.
This trial tests combining anlotinib (a targeted therapy), doxorubicin (chemotherapy), and radiation given before surgery to shrink high-grade soft tissue sarcomas. The goal is to make the tumor easier to remove and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (atezolizumab), chemotherapy (doxorubicin), and radiation before and after surgery for people with high-risk soft tissue sarcoma in the arm, leg, or trunk. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (envafolimab) combined with two chemotherapy drugs (doxorubicin and ifosfamide) for people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma who have not had prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation (just 5 days) before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma. The goal is to see if a brief, high-dose radiation schedule works as well as or better than the usual longer course—and may be more convenient for you.
This trial tests a new approach for high-risk soft tissue sarcoma of the arm, leg, or trunk. Before surgery, you would receive chemotherapy combined with local hyperthermia (a treatment that gently heats the tumor area) to see if this can improve outcomes.
