NCT ID NCT07215611
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at the financial stress that patients with bone or soft tissue sarcoma face after surgery. Researchers will ask 100 adults to fill out questionnaires about the costs of their cancer care and how that affects their quality of life. No new treatments are being tested; the goal is simply to understand the financial burden these patients experience.
