Grid radiation may boost sarcoma treatment before surgery

This pilot study tests a special radiation technique called GRID therapy given before standard radiation and surgery for people with soft tissue sarcoma in their arms or legs. The goal is to see if GRID can safely increase the radiation dose to the tumor without causing more wound problems after surgery. Twenty adults with high-risk sarcoma will receive one GRID treatment, then standard radiation, then surgery. Researchers will track wound complications and how much of the tumor is killed.
