Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a cohort study aimed at developing a stratified medicine approach for personalised neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) in high-risk soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients with dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS), leiomyosarcoma (LMS), synovial sarcoma (SS), vascular sarcomas, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) or other subtypes. It comprises of both retrospective and prospective tissue collection from patients advancing directly to surgery (control group) and patients receiving NCT and surgery.

- label
- Prospective
- description
- Prospective observational cohort study: a cohort of patients advancing directly to surgery ("Control group") and Prospective cohort receiving neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. Prospectively enrolled patients with STS, tissue samples pre-chemotherapy and from surgical resection will undergo epigenetic, proteomic and genomic profiling to define the biology at two distinct time points.
