RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue from patients with soft tissue sarcoma to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future.
PURPOSE: This laboratory is collecting tissue samples from patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the arms, hands, legs, or feet treated on clinical trial CRUK-VORTEX.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Sarcoma | Genetic: microarray analysis Genetic: molecular diagnostic method Other: biologic sample preservation procedure |
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine early in the course of treatment which patients treated on clinical trial CRUK-VORTEX have an increased likelihood of distant metastases so as to highlight individuals who might benefit from early adjuvant systemic therapy.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Tumour and normal tissue samples will be taken at the time of surgery during treatment on clinical trial CRUK-VORTEXand preserved for future microarray analyses. Tissue microarrays will be produced from both tumor and normal tissues. Blood samples will be collected for future DNA analysis.
