Radiation before surgery for limb or trunk wall sarcoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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 tests a shorter, 3-week course of radiation therapy (using protons or standard X-rays) given before surgery for localized soft tissue sarcoma. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for treating the tumor while reducing side effects.
This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation therapy works as well as the standard longer course for soft tissue sarcomas (a type of muscle or tissue cancer) that need surgery. The goal is to see if patients can get the same benefit with less treatment time and side effects.
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 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 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.
