Conditions
Brief summary
To investigate the safety and efficacy of preoperative IMRT and concurrent Apatinib for primary truncal or extremity soft tissue sarcoma; To investigate the Quality of life and extremity function post-combination treatment; To study the mechanism of radio-sensitizing effects of Apatinib for primary truncal or extremity soft tissue sarcoma; To assess the relationship between the MRI imaging, pathological findings and local control.
Interventions
Apatinib Mesylate 500mg QD, begin from 2 weeks prior to IMRT, to 1 month after end of IMRT

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Rate of Major wound complications within 4 months post-surgery | 4-months post-surgery |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Patient-reported Quality of Life assessed by EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire | From date of enrollment to 2 years after surgery, specifically at pre-IMRT, end of IMRT, 1 months post-IMRT, and every 3 to 6 months during follow-up up to 2 years post-surgery | Evaluate the quality of life by patient-reported EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire at different time points |
| Extremity function scores | From date of enrollment to 2 years after surgery, specifically at pre-IMRT, end of IMRT, 1 months post-IMRT, and every 3 to 6 months during follow-up up to 2 years post-surgery | Evaluate the extremity function by MSTS (Musculoskeletal Tumor Rating Scale) and TESS (Toronto Extremity Salvage Score) forms at different time points |
| Acute and late toxicities | acute toxicities were evaluated during and 3 months after IMRT, late toxicities were evaluted after 6 months | Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 |
| Local control | 2-year | — |
| Overall survival | 2-year | — |
| Pathological remission rate | 2 weeks after operation | Evaluate the tumor remission rate microscopically 2 weeks after operation |
