Clinical trials: Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma
Sarcoma
Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy in Untreated Nonmetastatic Retroperitoneal Sarcoma
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
