A retrospective cohort study to assess adjuvant concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) compared to adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) in the treatment of grade 2 and 3 extremity soft tissue sarcomas.
CONCLUSION: CCRT could improve local control as part of a limb-preservation strategy. However, with a limited number of patients, CCRT showed no improvement in either distant control or survival and increased toxicity.
