Blood tests tracking tumor DNA may help predict which soft-tissue sarcoma patients need additional treatment after surgery.

This PubMed record reports: These findings support prospective ctDNA-guided interventional trials in STS. The finding is retained for rapid triage and requires downstream evidence review before clinical interpretation.
