DESCRIPTION
courseTRANSCRIPT
Soft tissue sarcoma
Epidemiology
• Rare: only 8300 new cases annually in U.S.• 1/2 die
• Because they are rare=> no clear recommendations for every clinical situation (lack of many phase III studies)
• Mesodermal origin
Risk factors
• Radiation therapy• Chemical exposure
• Thorotrast, vinyl chloride, arsenic for hepatic angiosarcoma
• Genetic syndromes• Neurofibromatosis – nerve sheath tumors• Familial gastrointestinal stromal tumor syndrome – KIT
mutation
Classification• By site-viscera (gastrointestinal, genitourinary,
and gynecologic organs)-nonvisceral soft tissues (muscle, tendon,
adipose, pleura, and connective tissue)
• By histology
Topography vs. histology
Classification-by genetics
I. Specific mutations (usually translocations)-1/3 of all sarcomas
II. No specific mutations
Symptoms
• Most present as painless mass leading to delayed diagnosis
(DD with lipoma or hematoma)
Diagnosis
• Core needle biopsy guided by palpation or by image guidance if not palpable
• Few cases of tumor seeding with closed biopsy so some recommend tattooing site for later excision with specimen
• Excisional biopsy for superficial small lesions if needle biopsy non-diagnostic
• Incisional biopsy• Longitudinal incision without tissue flaps with meticulous
hemostasis to prevent tumor seeding in hematomas• Send biopsy fresh and oriented
Tumor seeding after biopsy
Diagnosis (2)-Imaging
• MRI• For extremity masses• Gives good delineation between muscle, tumor and
blood vessels
• CT might be used for abdominal and retroperitoneal masses, although MRI is better
• PET• May help determine high vs. low grade• May be helpful in recurrences
Staging• AJCC/UICC Staging System for Soft Tissue
Sarcomas • T1: <5cm
– T1a: superficial to muscular fascia– T1b: Deep to muscular fascia
• T2: >5cm– T2a: superficial to muscular fascia– T2b: Deep to muscular fascia
• N1: Regional nodal involvement• Grading
– G1: Well-differentiated– G2: Moderately differentiated– G3: Poorly differentiated– G4: Undifferentiated
Staging
Stage IA G1,2 T1a,b N0 M0
Stage IB G2,2 T2a,b N0 M0
Stage IIA G3,4 T1a,b N0 M0
Stage IIB G3,4 T2a N0 M0
Stage III G3,4 T2b N0 M0
Stage IV Any G Any T N1 M1
Staging system predicts survival and risk of metastasis, but not local recurrenceDoes not take into account extremity vs. visceral
Survival vs stage
Treatment-surgery
• Limb-sparing vs amputation• Limb sparing operation + adjuvant RT
• Amputation still may be indicated for neurovascular or bone involvement
Surgery-how to?
• Arbitrary 2 cm margin if no plan for post-op radiotherapy
• Negative margins necessary• Presence of positive margins increases local recurrence
by 10-15%, and that can not corrected completely by adding RT
• No need for lymph node dissection as only 2-3% have nodal metastasis
Treatment-adjuvant RT
1. EBRT (external-beam RT)2. BT (brachytherapy)
For tumors >2 cm or high grade or if close margins (<2 cm)
Pre- vs post-op RT ?
Treatment-adjuvant chemotherapy
• 50% of patients with a large (>5 cm)/ deep/ high-grade soft-tissue sarcoma develop distant metastases (primarily in the lung)
• in metastatic disease the potential for cure drastically decreases and the 5-year survival is 25% in spite of aggressive surgical management of metastases and chemotherpy
=>to decrease the rate of relapse in aggressive sarcomas adjuvant chemotherapy is used (proven beneficial in a 2008 meta-analysis)
Treatment-adjuvant chemotherapy (2)
• ifosfamide + doxorubicin• 2008 Sarcoma Meta-analysis Collaboration:• -decreases local recurrence, distant
recurrence, overall recurrence, and increases overall survival
Treatment-neoadjuvant chemo
• In unresectable or marginally resectable tumors->reevaluation for surgery
Treatment-Hyperthermia
• Might be used combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced, high-grade sarcomas and improves tumor response, disease-free survival or progression-free survival
Special subtypes-rhabdomyosarcoma • 70% in children younger than 10 yrs• head and neck : ~40-50% *
– orbit : ~ 20%– oro / nasopharynx, palate : ~ 15%– sinuses, mastoid, middle ear : ~ 15%
• genito-urinary : ~ 25% – paratesticular : ~ 20%– bladder : ~ 5%
• extremities : ~ 15%• other : ~ 10%
– trunk and thorax : 7% – gastrointestinal tract : 1%
Special subtypes-rhabdomyosarcoma • Lymph node mets are frequent• The most common symptom of genital RMS:
vaginal bleeding
• Good survival rate (75%)
Case #1• 64 y/o male with increasing abdominal girth
Retroperitoneal Sarcomas• 15% of all sarcomas• Liposarcoma 42% and leiomyosarcoma 26%• CT scan can show cystic/solid/necrotic components and
relation to surroundings• CXR to r/o mets, chest CT if CXR abnormal• Biopsy not necessary unless suspect a lymphoma or germ cell
tumor or plan preop chemo or radiation• En bloc resection is standard treatment
• bowel prep • assess bilateral kidney function• 50-80% need organ resection• 78% of primary lesions can be completely resected
Liposarcoma
Survival after resection of primary retroperitoneal sarcoma
Prognosis for retroperitoneal sarcomas
• 5 year survival after complete resection of 54-65%
• Drops to 10-36% if incompletely resected
• Recurrence occurs in 46-59% of completely resected tumors
Radiation or chemotherapy for retroperitoneal sarcomas
• Radiation– GI and neurotoxicities limit delivery of sufficient
doses– May improve local control– Recommended for use only in clinical trials given
lack of data either way• Chemotherapy
– Use for recurrent, unresectable or metastatic disease
Case #2
• 49 y/o female with GERD undergoing EGD
GIST• Separate subtype of sarcoma defined by expression
of c-Kit (CD117)• Surgery: complete resection without local or regional
lymphadenectomy• Very resistant to traditional chemotherapy• Gleevec (imantinib mesylate)
• c-Kit is constitutively active tyrosine kinase receptor• Drug is tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in CML• Initial studies showed 54% response rates• Two RCTs currently looking at adjuvant treatment
GIST
Extremity sarcomas
MFH
Synovial sarcoma
Breast sarcomas• 1% of all breast cancers• Wide excision with negative margins• Adjuvant radiotherapy-probably helps (no
phase III trial though)
Sarcoma after mastectomy
Vascular sarcomas• Angiosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma,
lymphangiosarcoma, hemangiopericytoma• Key points:
• Hepatic angiosarcoma – thorotrast, vinyl chloride, arsenic
• Stewart Treve’s – lymphangiosarcoma in chronic lymphedema
• High risk for bleeding during excision• No clear role for chemo or radiation
Bone sarcoma

ce inhiba genele supresoare tumorale p53 si RB• radiatia UV(UVC>UVB>UVA)• pers. cu pielea deschisa-doar in 10% a cazurilor predispozitie genetica-sindromul nevilor displazici
Nevii displazici
• ABCD mnemonic: asymmetry, border irregularity, color variation, diameter greater than 6 mm.
Extensia
• locala• limfatica • hematogena
Indicele Breslow si Clark
Breslow Thickness• First reported by Alexander Breslow in 1970, the Breslow thickness is defined as the total vertical height of the melanoma, from the very top (called
the "granular layer") to the area of deepest penetration in to the skin. An instrument called an "ocular micrometer" is used to measure the thickness of the excised (removed) tumor.
• In general, the higher the Breslow thickness, the worse the prognosis (keep in mind that these survival rates are averages and may not reflect your individual case):
• less than 1 mm: 5-year survival is 95% to 100% • 1 to 2 mm: 5-year survival is 80% to 96% • 2.1 to 4 mm: 5-year survival is 60% to 75% • greater than 4 mm: 5-year survival is 37% to 50% • Due to its accuracy in predicting outcomes, the Breslow thickness has been incorporated into the standard TNM staging system for melanoma. In
2001, a large study confirmed the importance of Breslow thickness as one of the three most important prognostic factors in melanoma, along with tumor (T) stage and the existence of ulceration (broken skin, bleeding, swelling).
Clark Level• The Clark level refers to how deep the tumor has penetrated into the layers of the skin. This system was originally developed by W. H. Clark, MD back
in 1966. Clark levels are officially defined as follows: • Level I: confined to the epidermis; called "in situ" melanoma; 100% cure rate at this stage • Level II: invasion of the papillary (upper) dermis • Level III: filling of the papillary dermis, but no extension in to the reticular (lower) dermis • Level IV: invasion of the reticular dermis • Level V: invasion of the deep, subcutaneous tissue • Since 2002, Clark's levels have been used less and less for calculating prognosis, since research has shown them to be less predictive of outcome, less
reproducible and more subjective than the Breslow depth. Other disadvantages of this system are that it is often very difficult to differentiate between Clark Level II and Level III, and it can't be used on melanomas of the palms and soles.
• There is one instance in which Clark’s levels continue to be used to predict prognosis: in patients with thin (less than 1.0 mm) melanoma, a Clark’s level IV or V lesion portends a worse prognosis. For this reason, pathologists continue to include the Clark’s level along with Breslow thickness and existence of ulceration in their reports
