Soft tissue makes up many parts of the body, such as muscle, fat, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels. Cancers, such as sarcomas, can occur in these soft tissues, and researchers are constantly searching for possible treatment methods. John W. Glod, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Research Physician in the Pediatric Oncology Branch, is leading NCI’s participation in a clinical trial researching T-cell therapy for synovial sarcoma in children and young adults. The trial will take place at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and there is no cost for participation.
