Study start date: December 1, 1983Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

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. 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.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details
150 patients to be enrolledTotal number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.
Treatment Study
These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.

Surgery: No more than 4 months since definitive surgery for primary lesion or recurrence. No prior amputation. PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS: Age: 18 and over. Performance status: Not specified. Hematopoietic: Not specified. Hepatic: No cirrhosis. Renal: No evidence of severe renal impairment. Cardiovascular: No ischemic heart disease. OTHER: No prior malignancy except basal cell carcinoma.
