Further study details as provided by Gary Luker M.D., University of Michigan:

Primary Outcome Measures:

To determine if MRI imaging can accurately determine if a sarcoma (tumor)is responding to the type of chemotherapy being used. [ Time Frame: Baseline prior to chemo ]
To image and evaluate the size of the soft tissue tumor prior to chemotherapy treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

MRI Scan [ Time Frame: 3 weeks post start of chemo and end of chemo ]
To evaluate the size of the soft tissue tumor after start of chemotherapy to determine if the chemo is having any notable effect on tumor prior to surgery.


Enrollment:	11

Study Completion Date:	April 2012
Primary Completion Date:	December 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
MRI Scan MRI scan of soft tissue tumor	Procedure: MRI Scan of soft tissue tumor MRI scan will be completed at baseline (prior to start of subject's clinically ordered chemotherapy treatments.

Detailed Description:

The purpose of this study is to determine if MRI imaging can be used to accurately determine if a sarcoma is responding to the type of chemotherapy being used or if it is ineffective early on in the treatment; instead of finding this out 2-3 months later. If it is determined that MRI can accurately diagnose tumor response, medications can be switched early on potentially improv8ing the patients'chances of recovery.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Biopsy proven primary bone or soft tissue tumor
No previous treatment for this malignancy
Will be given chemotherapy before having surgery or radiation on the tumor.
Are able to undergo a MRI examination
If your tumor measures at least 1/2 inch in length.

Exclusion Criteria:

Younger than 3 yrs. of age or need general anesthesia(sedation that puts you to sleep) to have a MRI performed.
History of Renal Failure
