LCI-SAR-BSTS-CTDNA-001: Circulating Tumor DNA Liquid Biopsy in Sarcoma Patients

Description

In this ever-expanding age of precision oncology, the stagnant treatment algorithms and subsequent oncologic outcomes for sarcoma patients highlight the need for novel technologies to help clinicians treat these patients. While countless prognostic and therapeutic molecular biomarkers have been identified for many other cancers, sarcoma practitioners have strikingly few tumor markers to guide treatment. The development of a sarcoma-specific liquid biopsy could greatly help clinicians with diagnosis, prognostication, treatment response, minimal recurrent disease, and recurrence. The purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate ctDNA liquid biopsy approaches in adult and pediatric patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas.
