5-Day Preoperative Radiation for Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of an abbreviated course of preoperative radiation, given over five days, for patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity, trunk or retroperitoneum. This is in contrast to standard preoperative radiation, which is given over 25 days.
