Blood test may replace painful biopsies for sarcoma patients
NCT ID NCT03896620
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking for 50 adults with soft tissue sarcoma to see if a blood test can detect tumor DNA (ctDNA) as well as a standard tissue biopsy. Currently, doctors need to take a piece of the tumor to diagnose and monitor sarcoma, which can be risky and hard to do. By comparing DNA from blood samples with DNA from tumor samples, researchers hope to find new ways to diagnose and track the disease without repeated biopsies.
