Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Hypofractionation represents a variation of radiotherapy fractionation in which the total dose is divided into fewer fractions with an increased fraction dose. Such treatment may lead to additional biological effects when compared to conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (eg. vascular damage, increased immunogenicity, and antigenicity). The main advantages of hypofractionation are those related to the decreased overall treatment time what is more convenient for both patients and physicians, increased compliance and makes the treatment more cost-effective. Intriguing, such an approach may provide an additional benefit when treating non-radiosensitive tumors with a low alpha/beta ratio (eg. sarcomas).
The basis of the study was a trial conducted by Kosela et al. in our center, which showed that preoperative short 5x5 Gy radiotherapy with immediate surgery is an effective and well-tolerated treatment of resectable sarcomas of extremities or trunk wall.
The rationale of chemotherapy comes from the interim analysis of a multicenter, international EORTC study comparing neoadjuvant systemic approaches in high-risk sarcomas. It was proven that AI regimen, which consists of ifosfamide and anthracyclines allowed to obtain 20% benefit in relapse-free survival and overall survival as compared to pathologically-tailored chemotherapy.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Sequential chemoradiotherapy
1xAI (doxorubicin 75 mg/sqm and ifosfamide 10 g/sqm) + 5x5 Gy radiotherapy + 2xAI + surgery
Sequential chemotherapy - 3 courses of AI
Three courses of doxorubicin and ifosfamide (AI, doxorubicin 75 mg/sqm and ifosfamide 10 g/sqm with prophylactic mesna), one before radiotherapy and two within the gap between radiotherapy and surgery.
Hypofractionated radiotherapy
Preoperative hypofractionated 5x5 Gy radiotherapy (5 consecutive days) prescribed on planned target volume (tumor volume + elective margins + setup/error margin) with a daily image guidance with cone beam-CT-based position verification.
