Preoperative versus postoperative radiotherapy in soft-tissue sarcoma of the limbs: a randomised trial.
BACKGROUND External-beam radiotherapy (delivered either preoperatively or postoperatively) is frequently used in local management of sarcomas in the soft tissue of limbs, but the two approaches differ substantially in their potential toxic effects. We aimed to determine whether the timing of external-beam radiotherapy affected the number of wound healing complications in soft-tissue sarcoma in ...
متن کاملPreoperative Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy for Retroperitoneal Sarcoma
The use of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has allowed for the administration of high doses to retroperitoneal sarcomas (RSTS) while limiting toxicity to adjacent organs. The purpose of our study is to assess the outcome and toxicities of patients with RSTS treated with neo-adjuvant external beam radiation (EBRT) therapy using IMRT. This is a retrospective study of 21 patients trea...

متن کاملIntraoperative radiotherapy using a mobile electron LINAC: A retroperitoneal sarcoma case
The advent of mobile LINACs for use in intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) promises to make IORT more accessible than before and easier to deliver to patients undergoing surgery. Although mobile IORT systems have been available since 1999, few treatment centers currently use them. Here, we present the case of a typical patient undergoing IORT for retroperitoneal sarcoma to show how easy the...
