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.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Radiation: radiation therapy
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.
