5. Study Description

Brief Summary
T2* imaging is a method to identify labile iron pools in tumor cells. These iron pools may be linked to better treatment outcomes for specific types of therapy. This is a small pilot study to see if radiation therapy changes the amount of iron in a sarcoma tumor.
