Pre-surgery radiation for retroperitoneal soft tissue cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests giving special radiation (ions) before surgery for a specific cancer in the back of the abdomen (retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma). The goal is to shrink or control the tumor so surgery may be safer or more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed retroperitoneal soft-tissue sarcoma that can be removed by surgery, or only slightly too close to be removed safely
- You are at least 18 years old
- Your overall health is good enough (Karnofsky score 70 or higher)
- You can complete study paperwork and give written consent
- There are no distant spread signs (no stage IV with metastases to far organs)

This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation before surgery is effective for soft tissue sarcomas in certain locations. It aims to make treatment more convenient while maintaining good results.
This trial tests giving a shorter, lower-dose radiation treatment before surgery for a retroperitoneal (deep belly/back space) soft-tissue sarcoma. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor and make surgery more effective and safe.
This trial studies a shorter-course proton radiation plan given before surgery for certain soft tissue sarcomas. The goal is to treat the tumor locally while helping surgery be safer or more effective.
This trial tests a short course of radiation before surgery to shrink a soft-tissue sarcoma and make it easier to remove. It may help by improving how well the tumor can be removed, while studying safety and effectiveness for this cancer type.
This study tests whether giving a special type of radiation (carbon ion) before surgery can safely help treat soft tissue sarcoma. It aims to see if this approach is effective and tolerable for patients.
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.
