Comparative Study
Intraoperative radiotherapy of soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity.
Evaluation of treatment outcome after intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) +/- external-beam irradiation (EBRT) in patients with localized soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity at high risk for local recurrence after limb-sparing surgery. ⋯ In patients with high-risk soft tissue sarcomas, IORT +/- EBRT after limb-preserving surgery achieves high local control rates. The risk of normal tissue toxicities is comparable to conventional limb-sparing treatment.
