Clinical trials: Retroperitoneal Cancer
Sarcoma
Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy in Untreated Nonmetastatic Retroperitoneal Sarcoma
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

Liposarcoma
Assessment of Helical Tomotherapy Radiotherapy (54 Gy) Followed by Surgery in Retro-peritoneal Liposarcoma
Retro peritoneal liposarcomas are rare (less than 15% of sarcomas) whose prognosis is locoregional. In the treatment of retroperitoneal liposarcomas main prognostic factor is the quality of the surgical resection.
