High Versus Lower Intensity Surveillance Following Resection of Retroperitoneal Sarcoma
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
High-intensity radiological surveillance: The standard approach to surveillance imaging will be contrasted CT (IV and oral contrast) of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. All patients require radiological assessment of the chest, abdomen and pelvis at each surveillance round. Tolerance will be given in the protocol for selected patients where CT is not suitable to receive alternative imaging such as MRI or combination of MRI and CT. Uncontrasted CT imaging is permissible where renal toxicity or allergy from intravenous contrast is of concern. The use of plain radiography is not permitted as an alternative to CT imaging of the chest.
Lower-intensity radiological surveillance: The standard approach to surveillance imaging will be contrasted CT (IV and oral contrast) of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. All patients require radiological assessment of the chest, abdomen and pelvis at each surveillance round. Tolerance will be given in the protocol for selected patients where CT is not suitable to receive alternative imaging such as MRI or combination of MRI and CT. Uncontrasted CT imaging is permissible where renal toxicity or allergy from intravenous contrast is of concern. The use of plain radiography is not permitted as an alternative to CT imaging of the chest.
Study summary
The SARveillance trial is an efficient, pragmatic, multi-centre, international, stratified, partially-randomised, patient-preference trial within a registry of high versus lower intensity radiological surveillance following primary resection of retroperitoneal, abdominal and pelvic soft tissue sarcoma. The trial design is stratified by sarcoma tumour grade (high/intermediate grade and low grade).
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Emotional Functioning — 5 years
Quality of life, assessed using Emotional Functioning domain (items 21-24) of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Core Quality of Life questionnaire (QLQ-C30). Each of the four items for this functional domain are scored between 1 and 4 (range: 3) to a total of 16 points, scaled to a total out of 100 using a validated formula from the EORTC scoring manual.
