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

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient-reported Quality of Life assessed by EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaireFrom 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-surgeryEvaluate the quality of life by patient-reported EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire at different time points
Extremity function scoresFrom 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-surgeryEvaluate the extremity function by MSTS (Musculoskeletal Tumor Rating Scale) and TESS (Toronto Extremity Salvage Score) forms at different time points
