Carbon ion radiation before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma that can be removed with surgery.
- You are in generally good health (able to do daily activities).
- Your organs (like blood, liver, kidneys) are working well enough for radiation and surgery.
- You have not had radiation to the same area before.
- You do not have cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

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 study tests a 5-day course of radiation before surgery instead of the usual 5 weeks. It may help people who face challenges like travel or tumor growth that make the longer schedule difficult.
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 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 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 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.
