First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท 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.
