Radiation plus study drug before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a study drug called liposomal transcrocetin to radiation therapy before surgery improves outcomes for adults with soft tissue sarcoma in the arm or leg. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective.

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 new type of radiation called spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT) given before surgery for large soft tissue sarcomas in the arm, leg, or trunk. The goal is to see if it helps shrink the tumor and improve treatment outcomes.
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy both before and after surgery helps people with high-risk soft tissue sarcoma live longer and prevents the cancer from coming back. It aims to see if this treatment plan is more effective than surgery alone.
This trial tests a new approach for high-risk soft tissue sarcoma of the arm, leg, or trunk. Before surgery, you would receive chemotherapy combined with local hyperthermia (a treatment that gently heats the tumor area) to see if this can improve outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of radiation therapy and two drugs (anlotinib and penpulimab) given before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
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.
