Categories (click each to see list of all clinical trials associated with that category): Sarcoma (ONC)
Current Status: Open
Phase: III (Cancer Control)
Principal Investigator: Mammen, Joshua

Summary
Main objective:
The primary objective of this study is to assess whether preoperative chemotherapy, as an adjunct to curative-intent surgery, improves the prognosis of high risk DDLPS and LMS patients as measured by disease free survival.
Secondary objectives:
- To assess whether there is a difference in the overall survival, recurrence free survival, distant metastases free survival, cumulative incidence of local recurrences and cumulative incidence of distant metastases between patients undergoing curative-intent surgery alone and those undergoing preoperative chemotherapy followed by curative intent surgery
- To assess tumour response in patients undergoing preoperative chemotherapy
- To assess the toxicity profile of preoperative chemotherapy given as "neoadjuvant" treatment to curative intent surgery in patients with RPS, and of surgery alone
- To assess whether there is a difference in quality of life between patients undergoing curative-intent surgery alone and those undergoing preoperative chemotherapy followed by curative intent surgery
