Brief Summary
After a screening, which consists of biopsy, physical examination, initial diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI-MRI) or body computed tomography (CT) scan, blood tests and case analysis on Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meeting, a patient with radiation-induced or in-field recurrent sarcoma will receive the hypofractionated radiotherapy with deep hyperthermia (twice a week) within three weeks. The response analysis in CT or DWI-MRI and toxicity assessment will be performed after 6 weeks. In resectable tumors, a patient will be referred to surgery. In the case of unresectability, the patient will followed-up.

Study Arms (2)
Radiotherapy with hyperthermia in resectable sarcomas
EXPERIMENTAL12x 3 Gy (4 fractions per week) + hyperthermia (6x) + surgery
Radiotherapy with hyperthermia in non-resectable sarcomas
EXPERIMENTAL12x 3 Gy with simultaneous integrated boost 3.5 Gy (4 fractions per week) + hyperthermia (6x)
Interventions
Resectable or marginally resectable tumors: preoperative hypofractionated 12x 3 Gy radiotherapy (4 days in a week, three weeks) prescribed on planned target volume (tumor volume + elective margins + setup/error margin) with daily image guidance with cone beam-CT or kV-portal position verification.
Deep hyperthermia (Celsius TCS or BSD-2000) according to local protocol combined with radiotherapy, twice a week.
Non-resectable/inoperable tumors: definitive hypofractionated 12x 3 Gy radiotherapy prescribed on planned target volume (tumor volume + elective margins + setup/error margin) with simultaneous integrated boost 3.5 Gy per fraction prescribed on boost planned target volume (tumor volume + setup/error margin), 4 days in a week, three weeks. Radiotherapy with daily image guidance with cone beam-CT or kV-portal position verification.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Able to provide informed consent
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 - 2
- Age ≥18 years old
- Histologically-proven diagnosis of radiation-induced or recurrent soft tissue sarcoma
- Previous radiotherapy within the planned target volume
You may not qualify if:
- Histologic diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma (except spindle cell and pleomorphic subtype), osteogenic sarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma/PNET, aggressive fibromatosis
- Contraindications to radiotherapy or hyperthermia
- Predicted unacceptable high risk of reirradiation-related toxicity, in the Investigator's judgment
- Unresectable metastases
