Studying colon surgery in retroperitoneal sarcoma patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at people with rare abdominal sarcomas who also had part of their colon removed during surgery. It aims to understand how these combined surgeries affect outcomes, helping doctors better care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of retroperitoneal sarcoma (a rare tumor in the back of your abdomen).
- Your surgery must have removed both the tumor and part of your colon or rectum (colorectal resection).
- The surgery must have taken place at a certified sarcoma center (or a hospital meeting the same standards).
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must give written permission (consent) to join the study.

This study tests giving special radiation (ions) before surgery for a specific cancer in the back of the abdomen (retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma). The goal is to shrink or control the tumor so surgery may be safer or more effective.
This study follows adults who have had surgery for a retroperitoneal sarcoma. It collects clinical and imaging information after treatment to better understand outcomes and guide future care.
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy before surgery helps people with high-risk retroperitoneal (abdominal-area) leiomyosarcoma or liposarcoma. The goal is to improve outcomes while comparing surgery alone versus surgery plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
This study tests whether a short course of radiation before surgery can treat retroperitoneal sarcoma (a rare cancer in the back of the belly). It is for people whose tumor is removable and who have not had previous radiation in the same area.
This trial is for people with a newly diagnosed soft tissue sarcoma that has not spread. It will study how surgery, physical therapy, and nutrition affect your recovery and quality of life.
This trial compares two schedules of follow-up imaging (high vs lower intensity) for people who have had surgery for retroperitoneal sarcoma, to see which is better at detecting recurrence without excessive scans.
