Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Soft Tissue Sarcoma Pilot Study

Description

Patients with a primary diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma of the lower extremities undergoing treatment with neo-adjuvant radiation therapy and surgical resection will be screened for eligibility. All participants will receive pre-operative radiation treatment per standard of care and will undergo surgical excision as planned and performed by one of the surgical oncologists at our center. Participants randomized to the treatment group will be scheduled for 7-10 HBO treatments within 7-10 days of surgery. All participants will be scheduled for follow-up visits with their surgical oncologist at the following post-operative time points: 3, 6, 12, and 24-weeks (+/- 14 days). Follow up for the purposes of this study will continue up to 6 months from the time of surgery.
