Could a shorter radiation zap before surgery be just as good for sarcoma patients?
NCT ID NCT04425967
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares the usual 5-week radiation schedule before sarcoma surgery to a shorter 2-week course. Researchers want to see if the shorter course leads to similar wound healing and tumor control. About 168 adults with soft tissue sarcomas in the head, neck, trunk, or limbs are taking part.
