A multicenter national research study to evaluate use of presurgical, image-guided radiation therapy for soft tissue sarcomas, a type of cancerous tumor, is being led by Dian Wang, M.D., Ph.D., a Medical College of Wisconsin radiation oncologist at Froedtert Hospital.
This Radiation Therapy Oncology Group study will enroll approximately 102 adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma of the arm or leg. Half of these participants will receive presurgical chemotherapy in addition to image-guided radiation therapy, based on an individual, preliminary decision made with their physician.
