Clinical Trial Summary

The trial will use neoadjuvant hypofractionated radiotherapy followed by surgical resection in the treatment for soft tissue sarcoma. It will allow patients to be treated over a shorter course (5 or 15 days of radiation) compared to the traditional 5 week regimen. It is proposed that this will be possible without increasing the risk of wound complication or local recurrence compared with a traditional 5 week course of pre-operative radiation.


Clinical Trial Description

Study Objectives: Primary: - To investigate the efficacy of neoadjuvant hypo-fractionated radiotherapy (HRT) followed by surgical resection in the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) as measured by local control - Examine the side effect profile using Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) and Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) acute and late side effects criteria and major and minor post-operative complication rates. OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 groups by the radiation oncologist. GROUP I (ULTRA-HYPOFRACTIONATION [UH]): Patients undergo HRT daily for a total of 5 fractions followed by surgery. GROUP II (MODERATE HYPOFRACTIONATION [MH]): Patients undergo HRT daily for a total of 15 fractions followed by surgery. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up within 3 months, then every 3-6 months for a minimum of 2 years. ;
