BACKGROUND: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a relatively rare group of malignant tumors. Currently, there is very little published clinical data, especially in the context of curative multimodal therapy with image-guided, conformal, intensity-modulated radiotherapy. METHODS: Patients who received preoperative or postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy for STS of the extremities or trunk with curative intent were included in this single centre retrospective analysis. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to evaluate survival endpoints. Multivariable proportional hazard models were used to investigate the association between survival endpoints and tumour-, patient-, and treatment-specific characteristics. RESULTS: 86 patients were included in the analysis. The most common histological subtypes were undifferentiated pleomorphic high-grade sarcoma (UPS) (27) and liposarcoma (22). More than two third of the patients received preoperative radiation therapy (72%). During the follow-up period, 39 patients (45%) suffered from some type of relapse, mainly remote (31%). The two-years overall survival rate was 88%. The median DFS was 48 months and the median DMFS was 51 months. Female gender (HR 0.460 (0.217; 0.973)) and histology of liposarcomas compared to UPS proved to be significantly more favorable in terms of DFS (HR 0.327 (0.126; 0.852)). CONCLUSION: Conformal, intensity-modulated radiotherapy is an effective treatment modality in the preoperative or postoperative management of STS. Especially for the prevention of distant metastases, the establishment of modern systemic therapies or multimodal therapy approaches is necessary.
