Less versus more follow-up after sarcoma surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares two schedules of post-treatment check-ups to see which one better supports patient quality of life. You’d fill out surveys for up to two years to measure how you feel over time.

This study compares two ways to monitor your lungs after surgery for a high-risk soft tissue sarcoma: chest CT scans versus chest X-rays. The goal is to see if one method is better at finding any return of cancer early, so you can get the right follow-up care.
This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation therapy works as well as the standard longer course for soft tissue sarcomas (a type of muscle or tissue cancer) that need surgery. The goal is to see if patients can get the same benefit with less treatment time and side effects.
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 compares two different schedules of follow-up scans after surgery for retroperitoneal sarcoma. The goal is to see if less frequent scanning is just as safe and effective as more frequent scanning.
This trial studies when to do surgery after a short course of radiation for soft tissue sarcoma in the arms, legs, or trunk. It aims to find the best timing to improve outcomes and reduce side effects.
This study follows people with soft tissue sarcoma who are having surgery to remove the tumor. It aims to understand how their movement, daily life, and overall well-being are affected by the surgery and recovery.
