Blood test may replace risky biopsies for sarcoma patients

NCT ID NCT03896620

First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study aims to see if a blood test can detect tumor DNA (ctDNA) in people with soft tissue sarcoma. Currently, doctors need to take a piece of the tumor (biopsy) to diagnose and monitor the disease, which can be risky and difficult. Researchers will collect blood samples from 50 adults with sarcoma and compare the DNA in the blood to the DNA in the tumor. If successful, this could lead to a safer, easier way to diagnose and track sarcoma in the future.
