This is a multi-center, randomized, open label phase lll trial to assess whether preoperative chemotherapy, as an adjunct to curative-intent surgery, improves the prognosis of high risk DDLPS (dedifferentiated Liposarcoma) and LMS (Leiomyosarcoma) patients as measured by disease free survival. After confirmation of eligibility criteria, patients will be randomized to either the standard arm or experimental arm. Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to assess whether preoperative chemotherapy, as an adjunct to curative-intent surgery, improves the prognosis of patients with high risk de-differentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) and leiomyosarcoma (LMS) as measured by disease-free survival.
