Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients with Grade I soft tissue sarcomas or benign, non-metastasizing invasive soft tissue tumors will receive wide local excision and be prospectively randomized as to either receive or not receive radiation therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a randomized study. Patients undergo surgical excision of all gross disease and then are randomized to Arm I or Arm II.

Arm I: Radiotherapy. Involved-field irradiation.

Arm II: No further treatment.
