Predicting how sarcoma responds and side effects from limb radiotherapy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This study collects information to predict how soft tissue sarcoma in an arm or leg will respond to radiotherapy and what side effects may happen. It may help doctors improve planning and follow-up for people like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have soft tissue sarcoma in an arm, leg, or near the hip/shoulder (limb girdle)
- You are planning to start radiotherapy for treatment before surgery, after surgery, or to relieve symptoms
- Your cancer treatment team plans the radiotherapy according to their usual hospital rules
- You can do usual daily activities pretty well (performance status 0 to 2) and are at least 16 years old
- You can attend follow-up visits for up to 2 years and are willing to consent in writing
- If you could become pregnant (or have a partner who could), you agree to effective birth control during treatment and for 3 months after

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 when to do surgery after a short course of radiation for soft tissue sarcoma in the arms, legs, or trunk. It aims to find the best timing to improve outcomes and reduce side effects.
This trial studies whether adding an exercise program helps people with soft tissue sarcoma in an arm or leg during a planned treatment course. The treatment they look at is radiation before surgery, then surgery to remove the tumor, and they want to see how exercise affects outcomes and recovery.
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 chemotherapy and radiation therapy together before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma in the arms or legs. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes for people with larger, high-grade, or deep tumors.
This study looks at stored tumor tissue (or takes a new biopsy) to measure specific tumor markers. Researchers want to see whether these markers match how well chemotherapy works before surgery for soft-tissue sarcoma.
