Whether RT should be performed pre or post-operatively is still a debated question. To date, the radiation oncologist are missing signature of response/resistance to RT in order to identify patients who may benefit from RT and personalize the RT schedule. Therefore, predicting the likelihood of response/resistance to RT is essential. The individual exploration with high-throughput approaches will participate in describing biological mechanisms involved in STS tumor cell pan-resistance, thus identifying potential molecular targets that could be inhibited to reverse intrinsic radioresistance. In this context, our proposal is to conduct a cohort study aiming at identifying transcriptomic signature predictive of sensitivity and/or resistance to RT in limbs STS patients.
