An observational study in Soft Tissue Sarcoma and Lymph Node Cancer, sponsored by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Withdrawn. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-02-29.
Sponsored by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center · Observational
This study investigates the surgical management of lymph node basins for extremity and trunk soft tissue sarcoma (ETSTS) to identify and better understand the surgical practice patterns of sarcoma surgeons. ETSTS has been known to spread to distant locations including lymph nodes, with some subtypes of the disease spreading to lymph nodes more than others. This has led to sarcoma surgeons to treat patients differently from one another, including those with more lymph node involvement. The purpose of this study is to investigate the practice patterns of ETSTS surgeons.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Identify the practice patterns of sarcoma surgeons with respect to management of lymph node basins for extremity and trunk soft tissue sarcomas (ETSTS).
II. Identify when surgeons would perform sentinel lymph node biopsy and/or lymph node dissection for ETSTS and if management differs for high-risk subtypes of sarcoma that are more likely to have nodal metastases.
III. Identify differences in practice patterns between surgical oncologists and orthopedic oncologic surgeons.
OUTLINE:
Participants complete an online survey over 5-10 minutes asking how they would manage lymph node basins in the extremity sarcoma.
1,667 studies on the registry are indexed under Sarcoma; 393 are open to participants now.
