Trial Outcomes & Findings for Assessment of Helical Tomotherapy Radiotherapy (54 Gy) Followed by Surgery in Retro-peritoneal Liposarcoma (NCT NCT01841047)

NCT ID: NCT01841047

Last Updated: 2025-09-03

Results Overview

Evaluation of the efficacy of the combination with radio-surgery helical tomotherapy irradiation to a dose of radiation of 54 Gy in patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma of operable. The effectiveness will be evaluated in terms of local recurrence-free survival 3 years. Given the data and the lack of independence between local recurrence and metastasis events, the Kaplan Meier method cannot be applied. An estimation method adapted to the presence of competing risks is necessary. Including other events (metastasis, deaths...) consist in using a competing risk analysis methodology where the specific incidence of each type of event is estimated in the presence of the other types of events. The following results represent the cumulative incidence (as a percentage) of local recurrence on the one hand and the cumulative incidence of competing risks (distant metastasis or death) on the other hand.

Measure
Radiotherapy
Evaluation of the combination of radiotherapy with helical tomotherapy (54 Gy) followed by surgery in retro-peritoneal liposarcomas. Helical tomotherapy (54 Gy) will take place over 6 consecutive weeks with 30 fractions of 1.8 Gy : 5 fractions per week followed by 2 days off. The surgery takes place between 2 and 8 weeks after the end of the tomotherapy.
