Dose Reduction of Postoperative Radiation for Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Arms and Legs
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Summary
The investigators are doing this study to find out whether lowering the dose of postoperative radiation therapy and targeting a smaller area of tissue for treatment is as effective as the standard dose and volume of radiation therapy to control soft tissue sarcoma after surgery. They also want to find out whether the study approach causes fewer and less severe long-term side effects than the standard approach.

Interventions
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
The prescribed dose of radiations for all patients will be 50 Gy in 25 fractions. 6MV energy photons will be used. Multi-beam IMRT plans, utilizing dynamic multileaf collimation, will be created based on the target tissue coverage and normal tissue avoidance.
