Study Summary

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of intensity-modulated radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients undergoing surgery for stage IB, stage II, or stage III soft tissue sarcoma.

Primary Outcome

Major wound complications up to 4 months post surgery include: Complications requiring a secondary operation under general or regional anesthesia for wound care. Seroma aspiration. Drain placement. Minor wound debridement and wound care. Readmission for wound care such as intravenous antibiotics. Persistent wound deep packing or wound vacuum assisted closure for greater than 120 days.

Interventions

  • GENETIC gene expression analysis
  • GENETIC polymerase chain reaction
  • PROCEDURE therapeutic conventional surgery
  • GENETIC western blotting
  • PROCEDURE neoadjuvant therapy
