Preoperative IMRT for Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Extremities and Trunk: Low Rate of Wound Complications

NCT02785692 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 67

Last updated 2018-10-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Postoperative wound healing complications following preoperative radiotherapy represent a severe problem in the treatment of malignant soft tissue tumors, and are reported to be 34% and more. The literature discusses intensely the advantages and disadvantages of this multimodal treatment concept and there are different opinions. The Canadian prospective randomized NCIC SR2 trial showed increased wound complication rates in the study arm receiving preoperative radiation. The Sarcoma Center Zurich pursues mainly this treatment concept and the results shall now be analysed and published. The approach is to show that not only the complication rates are comparable to international bench marks, but also the (still intermediate time) local control rates.
