Intervention prospective monocentric one arm study on the use of neoadjuvant radiotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost (Simultaneous Integrated Boost, SIB) in patients with STS with indication for preoperative radiotherapy. The treatment will be administered in 25 daily fractions (Monday-Friday) at the disease site to include the region of suspected micrometastatic spread (Clinical Target Volume 1, CTV1) at a dose of 50 Gy (2Gy / fraction) with SIB intensification on volume reduced corresponding to the interface sites between the tumor and the vascular / nerve axes (Clinical Target Volume 2, CTV2) at a dose of 60 Gy (2.4 Gy / fraction). The association with neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on anthracyclines is allowed.

The association with neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on anthracyclines is allowed. Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the benefit of radiotherapy with partial simultaneous integrated boost to the area at risk of incomplete resection in the neoadjuvant treatment of soft tissue sarcoma candidate for conservative surgery. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the outcomes and toxicity Study population: Patients with de novo or locoregional recurrence of STS after surgery. Estimated enrollment: 33 Inclusion criteria: STS candidate for surgical resection; age \> 18 years Exclusion criteria: previous radiotherapy over the region of interests, inability to express informed consent; planned amputation. Study arm: Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy Study duration: 2 years Enrollment period: 3 years Global study duration: 5 years Current primary outcomes measures: Oncologically negative resection rate (R0 rate) Current secondary outcomes measures: Pathologic Complete Response rate (pCR); Overall Survival (OS); Disease Specific Survival (DSS) Local-Relapse Free Survival (LRFS); Distant-Metastases-Free Survival (DMFS); incidence of acute and late toxicity according to CTCAE v5.0 classification
