A new risk-stratification system for pediatric and young adult patients with non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft-tissue sarcomas (NRSTS) was able to effectively classify patients for the appropriate therapy. Treatment arms in the study showed that patients classified as low risk may be able to undergo surgery alone, and that certain patients who are intermediate- or high-risk can undergo radiotherapy after surgery in lower doses than previously studied.
