Q

What was the study design in the STS surgery alone study?

19
Q

Who are best cadidates for surgery alone for STS?

20
Q

What are the seminal pre-op vs. post-op RT for STS?

A

21
Q

What was the cohort of patients in the pre-op vs. post op trials for STS?

A

N= 190, STS of extemities

22
Q

What were the comparsion groups in the pre-op vs. post-op STS trials?

A

Pts stratified < 10cm vs. >10 cm. Randomized preop RT (50 Gy/25fx) vs. post op RT (66Gy/33fx)<div><br></br></div><div>*longditudinal borders: 5cm, 2cm boost to scar<br></br><div><br></br></div><div>Primary endpoint: wound healing, not powered for survivial</div></div>

23
Q

What were the results of the preop vs. postop studies for STS?

A

“<div>Preop had increased acute wound complications (35% vs. 17%)</div><div>*mostly in lower extremity</div><div><br></br></div><div>Post-op trended towards worse fibrosis, edema, joint stiffness at 2 yrs (NS)</div><div><br></br></div>- No diff in LC, OS, RFS<div><div>-<span>Tumor size and grade predicted for OS</span></div><div><span>- Grade predicted for RFS</span></div></div>”

24
Q

What are the main takeaways from the preop vs. postop RT trial?

A

-LC and OS are equally effective<div>- Consider each technique for anatomic site as toxicities differ</div><div><br></br></div><div>-Most prefer preop because toxicities are more reversible than late fibrosis</div><div><br></br></div><div>- Typically much bigger fields for post op</div>
