5-Day Preoperative Radiation for Soft Tissue Sarcoma

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of an abbreviated course of preoperative radiation, given over five days, for patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity, trunk or retroperitoneum. This is in contrast to standard preoperative radiation, which is given over 25 days.

Treatment and study plan

External Beam Radiotherapy

Radiation

Radiation will be delivered by external beam techniques to the tumor and areas of possible microscopic disease at a dose of 30 Gy divided into 5 equal fractions of 6 Gy (administered over a total of 5 to 10 business day
