Summary

"This trial aims to use advanced radiation technology to deliver precise doses of radiation to cancerous tumors while avoiding damage to healthy organs. Participants with sarcoma will receive daily radiation treatment for 5 days a week

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with a diagnosis of sarcoma, specifically in the abdominopelvic region. Participants will undergo radiation therapy daily for 5 days and have their primary tumor surgically removed within 12 weeks after completing radiation. They'll be followed up for 5 years.
What is being tested?
The study tests MRI and CT-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy to target cancerous tumors precisely while sparing vital organs. The goal is to deliver higher doses safely over a short period (5 consecutive days).
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include skin reactions, fatigue, nausea, discomfort at the treatment site, and other typical risks associated with radiation therapy.
