Can a few days of radiation before sarcoma surgery reduce complications?
NCT ID NCT07265661
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a very short course of radiation (ultra-hypofractionated) given before surgery is safe and works well for people with soft tissue sarcoma in the arms, legs, or trunk. About 142 adults with low-to-medium risk sarcoma will be randomly assigned to receive this short radiation or standard care. The main goal is to see how many have serious complications within 90 days after surgery, and the study also tracks quality of life, survival, and cancer return.
