Official Title: Phase III Study of Preoperative vs Postoperative Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy For Truncal/Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Brief Summary: This study is designed to determine if preoperative image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) delivered using intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) followed by surgery results in similar short-term wound healing complications as surgery followed by postoperative IGRT in patients with extremity or truncal soft tissue sarcoma. Half of the patients will receive preoperative radiotherapy, half will receive postoperative radiotherapy.
