Objective: Surgery followed by postoperative radiation therapy (RT) is the standard of care for soft tissue sarcomas (STS) of the head and neck that are high grade or have close or positive margins.

Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed adult patients with head and neck STS treated with RT at a single institution between 1981 and 2017. All patients who were 19 years and older with STS of the head and neck-excluding rhabdomyosarcoma, angiosarcoma, and Ewing tumors-were included in this study.
