Radiation plus surgery for first soft tissue sarcoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies a treatment plan for newly diagnosed soft tissue sarcoma that combines precisely targeted radiation before surgery and conformal radiation after surgery. It may help by improving tumor control while allowing the surgeon to remove the tumor safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma
- This is your first (new) tumor, not a recurrence
- You must be able to have curative (radical) surgery
- A study doctor must think you can safely receive both types of radiation (pre-op stereotactic and post-op conformal)
- You have not had radiation treatment before
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding and you can give informed consent

This trial tests a shorter course of radiation given before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma in the arms, legs, or trunk wall. It aims to see if this approach works well long-term and may help you keep your limb.
This trial studies a high-dose, shortened course of proton beam radiation for people with soft tissue sarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to improve tumor control while reducing side effects.
This trial tests a treatment plan where you first get a shorter (hypofractionated) course of radiation and then have surgery to remove the tumor. It may help control the cancer locally in certain soft tissue sarcomas and improve surgical outcomes.
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 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 a personalized (“adaptive”) radiation plan before surgery for high-grade soft-tissue sarcoma that can be removed. It may help shrink the tumor and improve how well surgery can treat the cancer.
