Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Aggressive Fibromatoses
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy in treating patients who have aggressive fibromatoses.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
-
Determine the efficacy of moderate-dose radiotherapy, in terms of local control, in patients with aggressive fibromatoses.
-
Determine the acute and late side-effects of this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5.5 weeks for a total of 56 Gy in 28 fractions.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years.
