Faster radiation tested to fight tough tumors

NCT ID NCT02634710

Summary

This study tested a shorter, more intense schedule of radiation therapy given before surgery for soft tissue sarcomas in the arms, legs, or chest wall. The goal was to see if this approach could control the cancer as well as standard, longer radiation while being more convenient for patients. Researchers enrolled 35 adults with localized sarcoma to measure tumor control, side effects, and patient outcomes.
