Predicting tumor spread using MRI in sarcoma or bone cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial uses MRI scans to create a model that may predict if a musculoskeletal tumor is spreading. It aims to help doctors decide on the best surgical treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a suspected soft tissue sarcoma or bone cancer tumor that needs surgery
- You are able to have an MRI with contrast dye and understand the study
- You do not have another cancer or have had cancer in the last 5 years
- You do not have serious health issues that would make the MRI unsafe (like kidney failure, allergies to the dye, claustrophobia, epilepsy, or implants not safe for MRI)

This trial tests a newer way of giving radiation (spatially fractionated) compared to standard radiation for people with large soft tissue sarcomas. It aims to see if the new method works better.
This trial is testing a new way to use MRI scans to find breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body early. It is for people who have had aggressive breast cancer (HER2 positive or triple negative) and finished treatment with surgery, but still have a higher risk of the cancer coming back.
This study aims to create new laboratory models to better understand sarcomas and cancers that have spread to the bone or lungs. By using donated tumor tissue and blood, researchers hope to learn how these cancers grow and develop, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
This study tests whether MRI scans can replace CT scans to map bone tumors and plan surgery. If successful, it may allow some patients to avoid CT radiation.
This trial studies new imaging methods to better identify and stage (find how far it has spread) suspected bone or soft-tissue tumors. It may help your care team choose the most accurate next steps based on your scans.
This trial will see if special MRI scans taken during radiation therapy can help predict how well the tumor responds, potentially guiding future treatment. You will receive standard radiation for sarcoma and have a few extra MRI scans.
