Nutritional Support Before Sarcoma Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether special nutritional supplements given before surgery for bone or soft tissue sarcoma (a type of cancer) can help your body heal better and recover faster. You'll take oral supplements for at least a week before your planned surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with bone sarcoma or soft tissue sarcoma (confirmed by a tissue sample)
- Your cancer is localized (in one area) or has spread to only a few spots (5 or fewer)
- Your doctor has planned orthopedic tumor removal surgery for you
- You have at least 7 days before surgery (ideally 14 days) to receive the nutritional supplements
- You can take supplements by mouth and are able to eat or drink

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 Phase 3 trial tests whether giving chemotherapy around the time of surgery (before/after) can improve outcomes for people with high-risk localized soft-tissue sarcoma. It uses special tumor testing (CINSARC) to help identify higher-risk patients who may benefit.
This study looks at how nutrition and muscle health before lung cancer surgery can affect recovery. It tests whether checking these factors can help predict and improve outcomes after surgery.
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 looks at muscle loss (called sarcopenia) in people with colon cancer to test an intervention that may help strength or recovery. If you’re age 70 or older and meet the cancer and health requirements, you may be able to take part.
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.
