Outcomes after limb-sparing surgery for soft tissue sarcoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how well patients do after surgery to remove a soft tissue sarcoma from an arm or leg while saving the limb. It helps doctors understand recovery and function after this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether adding an exercise program helps people with soft tissue sarcoma in an arm or leg during a planned treatment course. The treatment they look at is radiation before surgery, then surgery to remove the tumor, and they want to see how exercise affects outcomes and recovery.
This trial tests an individualized “prehab” program (exercises and preparation before treatment) to improve recovery and surgical outcomes for adults with deep soft tissue sarcoma in the leg. It’s meant to help your body be as ready as possible for radiotherapy and surgery.
This trial compares two types of wound dressings after surgery for soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) that has had radiation therapy. It aims to see whether one dressing helps your wound heal better after tumor removal.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation given before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma in the arms, legs, or trunk wall. It aims to see if this approach works well long-term and may help you keep your limb.
This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation before surgery is effective for soft tissue sarcomas in certain locations. It aims to make treatment more convenient while maintaining good results.
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.
