Pre-op carbon ion radiation for soft tissue sarcoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests if a powerful type of radiation called carbon ion therapy, given before surgery, is safe and effective for treating soft tissue sarcoma. It may help shrink the tumor before it’s removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older.
- You have a confirmed soft tissue sarcoma that can be removed with surgery.
- Your cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.
- You are in good enough health to have radiation and surgery (able to walk and care for yourself).
- You have not had radiation to the same area before.
- You can have carbon ion therapy safely (no metal implants or devices like pacemakers in the treatment area).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation (just 5 days) before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma. The goal is to see if a brief, high-dose radiation schedule works as well as or better than the usual longer course—and may be more convenient for you.
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 studies giving radiation before surgery to help control a soft-tissue sarcoma while keeping surgery as less extensive as possible. It may help shrink the tumor and improve what the surgeon can remove.
This trial tests a step-by-step (sequential) chemotherapy plan given before surgery for adults with specific types of soft tissue sarcoma. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor before the operation and see how well this approach works and is tolerated.
This trial tests combining anlotinib (a targeted therapy), doxorubicin (chemotherapy), and radiation given before surgery to shrink high-grade soft tissue sarcomas. The goal is to make the tumor easier to remove and improve outcomes.
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.
