Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Modern radiotherapy techniques in a neoadjuvant setting have the potential to minimize morbidity and maximize efficacy. An additional boost dose can be provided locally by HDR-brachytherapy in patients with positive margins after tumor resection.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the safety and efficacy of a combination of modern radiotherapy elements applied to the tumor and small volumes of surrounding normal tissue (IMRT, IGRT; brachytherapy in case of positive resection margin) and see how well it works in treating patients with High-Risk Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Extremities.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Histologic and radiographic proof of localized high-risk soft tissue sarcoma meeting the following criteria:
  • Lesion originates in extremity
  • upper extremity lesions may occur from the medial border of the scapula to tumors as far distal as the finger tips
  • lower extremity regions include hip girdle tumors commencing at the iliac crest, excluding lesions arising from within the pelvis, and extends to include lesions as far distal as the toes
  • AJCC Stage II or III disease (except T1a-tumors or N1)
  • Primary presentation or local recurrence
  • after biopsy or inadequate surgery resulting in residual tumor in cross-sectional imaging
