Hypofractionated Stereotactic Radiation Therapy in Treating Younger Patients with Metastatic Sarcomas of Bony Sites

Trial Status: administratively complete

This phase II trial studies how well hypofractionated stereotactic radiation therapy works in treating younger patients with sarcomas that have spread to other bony sites in the body. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue.
