$Hypofractionated radiotherapy for patients with soft tissue sarcomas can be a safe, effective alternative to standard of care$

Hypofractionated radiotherapy for patients with soft tissue sarcomas can be a safe, effective alternative to standard of care

Patients with non-metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS) who need pre-operative radiation therapy can safely receive hypofractionated treatment over three weeks instead of five, with comparable tumor control and no increased risk of major complications in wound healing, according to researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
