Treatment Options for Recurrent Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Treatment of recurrent adult soft tissue sarcoma may include the following:

• Surgery (wide local excision) with radiation therapy before or after surgery.
• Surgery (amputation).
• Radiation therapy followed by limb-sparing surgery.
• Surgery to remove cancer that has recurred in the lungs.
• Chemotherapy with 1 or more anticancer drugs.
• A clinical trial of new anticancer drugs.
• A clinical trial of high-dose chemotherapy with or without stem cell transplant.

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with recurrent adult soft tissue sarcoma. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
