T < sub > 2 < /sub > * Imaging Assessment of Neoadjuvant Radiation Therapy Combined With Pharmacological Ascorbate in Extremity Soft-Tissue Sarcomas: A Pilot Study

CONCLUSION: T2* measurements prior to treatment, two weeks after initiating treatment, and before surgery showed moderate to strong correlations with percent necrosis. These results support the potential for using T2* mapping to predict and assess response to neoadjuvant radiation therapy combined with pharmacological ascorbate in extremity STS.
