Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with soft tissue or visceral sarcoma evaluated at the Strasbourg multidisciplinary tumor board between 2017 and 2024, with consent for data reuse.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose care diverged from guidelines or who have poor prognosis unrelated to treatment adherence may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a retrospective, single-center observational study conducted at the University Hospital of Strasbourg. It examines adherence to international clinical practice guidelines for soft tissue sarcoma management and explores how adherence relates to overall survival. The analysis compares two time periods, 2010-2016 and 2017-2024, using cases presented at the multidisciplinary tumor board. Inclusion focuses on adults (18+) first seen between 2017 and 2024 with available data and consent for research reuse of records. Exclusions remove younger patients, non-soft-tissue tumors, outside Alsace-Moselle, or duplicate records.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: Findings could clarify whether guideline-adherent care is associated with better survival for STS patients in this region.

How similar studies have gone: Similar observational studies have linked guideline adherence to better outcomes in sarcoma care, though results vary by setting.
