CTOS 2004 SR-2 Trial (NCIC CTG / CSG) RANDOMIZATION • Pre-op RT • 50 Gy in 25 fractions • Phase 2 to 66 Gy, if margins positive • Extremity Soft tissue sarcoma (appropriate histology) • No chemotherapy • Any T,N0,M0 • Any grade • Combined modality treatment needed: • → Surgical and Radiation Oncology opinion • Stratification at 10 cm cut-point Phase 1: 5 cm longitudinal 2 cm axial Phase 2: 2 cm coverage • Post-op RT • 50 Gy in 25 fractions • Phase 2 to 66 Gy, all cases
CTOS 2004 SR-2 Trial • Trial open from late 1994 to late 1997 • 190 patients entered from 10 Canadian centres • Sample size to detect 15% difference in wound complications (80% power) • Closed after a planned interim analysis showed significant difference between two arms for the primary end-point, and no value in continuing after primary question addressed
Background Previous Analyses (3.3 years Median FU) • Primary End-point (wound complications) • Twice the rate in pre vs post-op (35 vs 17%) • Confined to the lower extremity • Secondary End-points • QoL and function similar after 1 year • Survival advantage favoring pre-op RT O’Sullivan et al, Lancet 2002 Davis et al, JCO 2002

CTOS 2004 (Analysis: Dec 2003) Summary and Conclusions • No differences in cancer-specific outcomes between Pre-op vs. Post-op RT with the protocols used in this RCT • Very high local control rates (95 % range) are evident with combined Surgery and RT in extremity STS • Morbidity profiles differ between both approaches: • Acute complications: significantly greater in pre-op (recoverable) • Late tissue effects: significantly greater in post-op (likely permanent) • Local anatomic factors and wound reconstruction should dictate the choice of radiotherapy schedule • New local control techniques or approaches are needed to ameliorate local tissue toxicity (especially fibrosis, and bone later)
