About this study

The primary significance of this project is to perform a detailed analysis to assess the diagnostics, treatment and follow-up care, to develop a prediction model for future patient selection regarding various diagnostic and treatment procedures.

Read the detailed description

Within the framework of interdisciplinary cooperation for a sarcoma problem, predictive and prognostic criteria will be developed that improve the treatment and particularly outcome.

The outcome variables include patient characteristics, tumor types and characteristics, histology, management and treatment strategies as well as recurrence rate and overall survival.
