• Surgery is potentially curative for primary non‐metastatic retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas (RPS), although patients remain at risk for local recurrence. To reduce this risk, the addition of radiotherapy to radical surgery may be considered. Nevertheless, level I evidence to support radiotherapy is currently lacking. The results from the EORTC‐STBSG 62092‐22092 studying this question are awaited. This manuscript addresses issues to consider when radiation‐oncologists engage in a multidisciplinary treatment approach for RPS patients, including radiotherapy.
