Brief summary
Cancer surveillance has a significant cost and generate anxiety for the patient. It is important to avoid exams that will not modify health support or whose results wont allow to decide.
Detailed description
Cancer surveillance has a significant cost and generate anxiety for the patient. It is important to avoid exams that will not modify health support or whose results wont allow to decide. Our study will help rationalise surveillance of soft tissue sarcoma and standardize medical practices.
Interventions
surveillance by radiography of chest every 3 months the first 2 years then every 6 month the third, forth and fifth years
surveillance by CT of chest every 3 months the first 2 years then every 6 month the third, forth and fifth years

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| proportion of patients having an isolated and operable pulmonary relapse | 2 years | % of patients having resectable or resected lung metastasis after 2 years of surveillance |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| evaluate quality of life | every 3 months for 2 years then every 6 months for the 3rd year | questionnaire STAI |
| evaluate free disease survival | 5 years | Time between date of inclusion and date of clinical or radiological progression |
| evaluate overall survival | 5 years | time between date of inclusion and date of death (whatever the cause is) |
| evaluate irradiation received | 2 years | measure of PDL (product dose length) for chest CT measure of PDS (product dose surface) for chest radiograph |
| estimate false positive rate | 2 years | patients operated for non metastatic lesions patients monitored for non metastatic nodules |
| evaluate global health | every 3 months for 2 years then every 6 months for the 3rd year | using scale of pain EVA |
| medico economic evaluation | 5 years | sum of direct and indirect costs |
