Hypofractionated Radiotherapy Followed by Surgical Resection in the Treatment of Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Sponsor: Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center

Summary

The trial will use neoadjuvant hypofractionated radiotherapy followed by surgical resection in the treatment for soft tissue sarcoma. It will allow patients to be treated over a shorter course (5 or 15 days of radiation) compared to the traditional 5 week regimen. It is proposed that this will be possible without increasing the risk of wound complication or local recurrence compared with a traditional 5 week course of pre-operative radiation.
