Description
Madelaine Hettler and co-authors set out a 2025 study protocol called COLOSARC-Q. Retroperitoneal sarcomas are rare, often large tumors growing behind the abdomen's lining. Removing them fully often means cutting out part of the colon or rectum too. How surgeons rebuild the bowel, and whether they form a stoma, is poorly defined.
The study will follow 120 patients across sarcoma centers in Germany and Switzerland. All will have primary tumors with colorectal resection as part of surgery. Quality of life is tracked with standard questionnaires plus interviews by psycho-oncology staff and patient advocates. Records will cover surgery, complications, and outcomes. The main aim is to learn which bowel strategies serve patients best over time.
