New study aims to sharpen survival predictions for bone cancer patients
NCT ID NCT01470105
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study involves 230 adults with cancer that has spread to their bones who need surgery. Researchers want to improve how doctors estimate survival by combining the patient's own health assessment with the doctor's evaluation. The goal is to create a more accurate prediction tool to help guide treatment decisions.
