Radiation Therapy Before Surgery for Localized, Resectable Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Extremity and Superficial Trunk (NCT04562480)
A Phase II Study of Hypofractionated Pre-Operative Radiation Therapy for Localized, Resectable Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Extremity and Superficial Trunk
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase II trial investigates the effects of hypofractionated radiation therapy before surgery on wound complications associated with surgery in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity (arms, hands, legs or feet) and superficial trunk that has not spread to other parts of the body (localized) and can be removed by surgery (resectable). Hypofractionated is a shorter radiation therapy treatment length (fewer radiation treatment days) and administers the total radiation dose as larger daily doses, compared to conventionally fractionated therapy.
