Popis: Purpose: Preoperative radiation followed by surgical resection is a standard treatment for soft-tissue sarcomas (STS). We report on 2 consecutive, phase 2, single-arm studies evaluating 5 fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) treatments followed by surgical resection for STS (clinical trails.gov NCT02706171). Methods and Materials: A total of 16 patients were treated with preoperative SBRT. Tumor size in the greatest dimension was a median 6.7 cm (maximum: 14 cm) and the majority of STS were in the extremities. SBRT consisted of 35 to 40 Gy in 5 fractions every other day. Results: Median follow-up time was 1719 days (4.7 years). Grade ≥3 acute toxicity occurred in 1 patient (grade 3 skin changes). Fifteen patients proceeded with surgical resection. Three patients had a wound complication after surgery, 1 patient had grade ≥3 late toxicity (grade 4 requiring surgical intervention). There was 1 local recurrence and 5 distant recurrences. Conclusions: Long-term follow-up on SBRT for STS found acceptable control and toxicity rates, and warrants further evaluation.
