Brief Summary

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

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy in treating patients who have aggressive fibromatoses.

Detailed Description

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

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the efficacy of moderate-dose radiotherapy, in terms of local control, in patients with aggressive fibromatoses.
* Determine the acute and late side-effects of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5.5 weeks for a total of 56 Gy in 28 fractions.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years.
