Hyperthermia and Proton Therapy in Unresectable Soft Tissue Sarcoma

This is a multi-institutional phase I/II clinical trial with concomitant local hyperthermia and proton beam radiotherapy in patients with primary or recurrent unresectable soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities, trunk, retroperitoneum (except intrabdominal). The primary purpose would be to assess the safety and efficacy of this approach along with local tumour regressions and subsequent tumour downstaging, thereby enabling a near total removal of these tumours following the hyperthermia and proton beam therapy.
