- NCT01659203RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Proton or photon radiation for retroperitoneal sarcoma
This trial tests two types of external beam radiation—protons or photons—in people with retroperitoneal (in the back of the abdomen) soft tissue sarcoma. It’s an early-phase study meant to see how well the radiation can control measurable tumors while tracking safety.

Surgery with or without chemotherapy for high-risk retroperitoneal sarcoma
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy before surgery helps people with high-risk retroperitoneal (abdominal-area) leiomyosarcoma or liposarcoma. The goal is to improve outcomes while comparing surgery alone versus surgery plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

A new type of radiation for newly diagnosed retroperitoneal sarcoma
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation called proton spatially fractionated radiotherapy (P-SFRT) combined with standard radiation for people with a type of sarcoma in the back of the belly. The goal is to see if this combination can treat the tumor more effectively.

What taking part in a retroperitoneal sarcoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
