Abstract

Definitive radiotherapy for bone and soft tissues sarcomas benefits patients deemed unfit for surgery; poor outcomes have been reported with conventional photons, while interesting preliminary results have been described with particle in single-Institution experiences. The aim of the study was to retrospectively evaluate preliminary results of carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) in patients with axial bone and soft tissue sarcomas (BSTS) treated with curative intent at the National Center for Oncological Hadrontherapy (CNAO).
