Brief Summary:

This is a phase II, multicenter, non-randomized study.

The main objective is to evaluate the treatment with hypofractionated radiation therapy in neo-adjuvant and adjuvant situations on wound healing in a population of aged patients (≥ 70 years old) or ≥ 65 years of age defined as "fragile" and treated for soft tissue sarcoma.

A maximum of 70 patients will be included in this study, divided in 2 groups (35 patients per arms): a neo-adjuvant cohort and an adjuvant cohort.

In the neo-adjuvant cohort, patients will receive an hypofractionated radiation therapy prior to surgery.

In the adjuvant cohort, patients will undergo a surgery before receive the hypofractionated radiation therapy.

Each patient will be followed for up to 3 years after the end of complete treatment (radiotherapy + surgery or surgery + radiotherapy).


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Soft Tissue Sarcoma Procedure: Patients will receive the hypofractionated radiation therapy (30 Gy in 5 fractions) prior to surgery. Procedure: Patient will undergo surgery before receive the adjuvant hypofractionated radiation therapy (40 Gy in 15 fractions). Phase 2

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Neo-adjuvant Cohort Procedure: Patients will receive the hypofractionated radiation therapy (30 Gy in 5 fractions) prior to surgery.

Early post-radiotherapy toxicity will then be assessed 1 month after the end of radiotherapy.

Post-operative follow-up: post-operative complications will be followed at 3 and 6 weeks post-surgery.

A visit at 6 months post-surgery will also be carried out to evaluate post-operative complications and late adverse effects of radiotherapy.

Long-term follow-up would also be performed every 6 months from the 6-month post-surgery visit up to 3 years post-surgery (M12, M18, M24, M30 and M36).


Experimental: Adjuvant Cohort Procedure: Patient will undergo surgery before receive the adjuvant hypofractionated radiation therapy (40 Gy in 15 fractions).

Post-operative follow-up: postoperative complications will be followed at 3 and 6 weeks post-surgery (before the start of irradiation). Early post-radiotherapy toxicity will then be assessed 1 month after the end of radiotherapy.

A 6-month post-surgery check-up will also be carried out to assess post-operative complications and acute side effects of radiotherapy.

Long-term follow-up would also be performed every 6 months from the 6-month post-surgery visit up to 3 years post-surgery (M12, M18, M24, M30 and M36).





Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The rate of patients free of major surgical complications as defined by O'Sullivan within 6 months of surgery. [ Time Frame: 6 month for each patient ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Patients' disease-free survival defined as the time between the inclusion date and the occurrence of a carcinological event (local recurrence, distant metastasis) or death from any cause. [ Time Frame: 3 years for each patient ]
  2. Surgical complications evaluated according to NCI CTC AE V5 criteria. [ Time Frame: 3 years for each patient ]
  3. Wound disorders, such as partial necrosis and scar disunion, classified into four categories: severe, moderate, minor, absent. [ Time Frame: 3 years for each patient ]
  4. Healing time defined as the time between the date of surgery and the date of complete healing. [ Time Frame: 3 years for each patient ]
  5. Patients' quality of life evaluated using the EORTC questionnaire (QLQ-C30). [ Time Frame: 3 years for each patient ]
  6. Patients' quality of life evaluated using the EORTC questionnaire (QLQ-ELD14). [ Time Frame: 3 years for each patient ]
  7. Patient autonomy evaluated using the IADL (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living) questionnaire. [ Time Frame: 3 years for each patient ]
  8. Geriatric parameters evaluated using the G8 (Geriatric 8) questionnaire. [ Time Frame: 3 years for each patient ]
  9. Geriatric parameters evaluated using the G-CODE questionnaire. [ Time Frame: 3 years for each patient ]
  10. Toxicities of the radiation therapy evaluated according to NCI CTC AE V5 criteria and Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) classification. [ Time Frame: 3 years for each patient ]
