Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigates the surgical management of lymph node basins for extremity and trunk soft tissue sarcoma (ETSTS) to identify and better understand the surgical practice patterns of sarcoma surgeons. ETSTS has been known to spread to distant locations including lymph nodes, with some subtypes of the disease spreading to lymph nodes more than others. This has led to sarcoma surgeons to treat patients differently from one another, including those with more lymph node involvement. The purpose of this study is to investigate the practice patterns of ETSTS surgeons.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Identify the practice patterns of sarcoma surgeons with respect to management of lymph node basins for extremity and trunk soft tissue sarcomas (ETSTS).

II. Identify when surgeons would perform sentinel lymph node biopsy and/or lymph node dissection for ETSTS and if management differs for high-risk subtypes of sarcoma that are more likely to have nodal metastases.

III. Identify differences in practice patterns between surgical oncologists and orthopedic oncologic surgeons.

OUTLINE:

Participants complete an online survey over 5-10 minutes asking how they would manage lymph node basins in the extremity sarcoma.
