Summary
This early-phase study tested the safety and best dose of adding bevacizumab to standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with soft tissue sarcoma that can be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can reduce the chance of the cancer returning after surgery. The study involved 14 adults with intermediate- or high-grade sarcoma.
