Abstract
- Simple Summary: This study looks at how combining real-world/time data/evidence (RWTD/E) with traditional clinical studies (known as randomized controlled trials) can improve healthcare research and ultimately patient care. Unlike past methods that often rely on outdated information, RWTD/E provides up-to-the-minute data on patient health, making it a powerful tool for doctors and researchers. This approach is especially useful in areas like sarcoma, a type of cancer, where understanding each patient's unique situation can lead to improved treatment plans. We discuss how this mix of real-world/time data and traditional research can lead to more personalized medicine, helping to create treatments tailored to individual patient needs. It also aids in managing health at a community level by spotting trends and improving health policies, making care more efficient and focused on what patients truly benefit from. Furthermore, we explore how applying new methods, like creating digital twins of patients' health profiles to RWTD/E can help in predicting individualized treatment effects. This study aims to elaborate that using prospective RWTD/E alongside traditional clinical trials can make healthcare more effective, patient-focused, and ready to adapt to new discoveries and technologies. This manuscript examines the synergistic potential of prospective real-world/time data/evidence (RWTD/E) and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to enrich healthcare research and operational insights, with a particular focus on its impact within the sarcoma field. Through exploring RWTD/E's capability to provide real-world/time, granular patient data, it offers an enriched perspective on healthcare outcomes and delivery, notably in the complex arena of sarcoma care. Highlighting the complementarity between RWTD/E's expansive real-world/time scope and the structured environment of RCTs, this paper showcases their combined strength, which can help to foster advancements in personalized medicine and population health management, exemplified through the lens of sarcoma treatment. The manuscript further outlines methodological innovations such as target trial emulation and their significance in enhancing the precision and applicability of RWTD/E, underscoring the transformative potential of these advancements in sarcoma care and beyond. By advocating for the strategic incorporation of prospective RWTD/E into healthcare frameworks, it aims to create an evidence-driven ecosystem that significantly improves patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency, with sarcoma care serving as a pivotal domain for these developments.
