Official title
Cellular Analysis of Blood Suctioned During Surgery for Musculoskeletal Tumors
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study is being done as the doctor investigators would like to lessen the amount of blood transfusions given to patients. Patients who receive blood transfusions have a greater chance of developing complications after surgery. There is a device called the Cell Saver that allows the doctors to process blood that is lost during surgery and return it to the patient. This lessens the amount of transfused blood the patients receive. This device is not used for patients undergoing surgery for muscular skeletal tumors.The investigators are not sure whether tumor cells are present in the blood which is lost during the course of an operation like yours. The goal of this study is to see if we lessen the amount of blood transfusions given to patients who may have tumor or cancerous cells present in their blood. One way to do this is to test the blood that is circulating in your veins and also to test the blood which is lost during the course of your operation
