This phase 1 trial using intensity modulated photon pre-operative radiotherapy for patients with retroperitoneal sarcoma demonstrated that the dose can be safely escalated to 63.0 Gy to a select tumor volume deemed at high risk for positive margins. Thus, this approach is worthy of further prospective study with larger cohorts.
