Evaluating the Impact of Limited Compared With Intense Post-Operative Surveillance on Patient-Reported Outcomes in Patients With Stage II-III Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Trunk and Extremities

Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Summary

This phase II trial studies how anxiety is affected by 2 types of follow-up after surgery, limited follow-up and intense follow-up, in patients with stage II-III soft tissue sarcoma of the trunk and extremities. In cancer survivors, the fear of cancer coming back (recurring) is common and may persist long after the end of treatment. It may also be exacerbated by return visits for imaging (surveillance). The purpose of this study is to determine how patients' anxiety and other cancer-related outcomes are affected by how often surveillance is done.
