First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study tested a new approach for a rare cancer called retroperitoneal liposarcoma, which grows in the abdomen. Researchers gave 48 patients a higher dose (54 Gy) of very precise radiation using a machine called helical tomotherapy before surgery. The goal was to see if this combination could lower the chance of the cancer coming back in the same area. The results suggest this method may help control the disease better than standard treatment.
