Who might be able to join this trial:
- People who have been diagnosed with an intermediate to high grade soft tissue sarcoma (a type of cancer in the body's connective tissues) located in the head and neck, trunk, chest wall, or limbs, where the standard treatment plan includes both radiation therapy and surgery (this applies when the tumour is deep, 5cm or larger, expected to have a close surgical margin, or is grade II or III by a specific grading system)
- People whose cancer has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or other parts of the body, confirmed by at least a chest CT scan (other scans such as FDG-PET or full-body MRI may also be used)
- People with a WHO Performance Status score of 2 or less, meaning someone who is able to carry out basic daily activities, even if not fully active (confirm with trial site)
- People who are willing and able to undergo radiation therapy before surgery
- People who are willing and able to undergo the planned surgical removal of the tumour
- People who are willing and able to attend regular follow-up appointments after treatment
- People who are willing and able to complete questionnaires about their quality of life and related health costs
- People who are willing and able to be randomly assigned to a treatment group
- People aged 18 years or older
- People who have signed a written consent form agreeing to participate
Who may not be able to join:
- People who have had a previous cancer diagnosis, unless they have been free of that cancer for 5 or more years, or unless it was a fully removed non-melanoma skin cancer, or a successfully treated early-stage (in situ) cancer
- People whose sarcoma has come back in the same area after a previous diagnosis (locally recurrent sarcoma), regardless of how the first diagnosis was treated
- People diagnosed with specific sarcoma subtypes: Ewing sarcoma, other PNET family tumours, rhabdomyosarcoma (in children or adults), or osteosarcoma
- People diagnosed with myxoid liposarcoma, as this subtype responds well to lower radiation doses that differ from those being tested in this trial
- People who have personal, psychological, family, social, or location-based circumstances that may make it difficult to follow the study schedule and attend appointments (the trial team would discuss this with the person before enrolment)
- People who are pregnant
- People whose planned procedure is an isolated limb perfusion (a specific treatment technique) rather than surgical tumour removal
- People who are planned to receive chemotherapy both before and after radiation therapy
