An state-of-the-art overview of: • Australian epidemiology • Etiology • Risk factors • Pathology • Staging • Treatment
Aims of presentation
Unique features of sarcomas
1. Rare and diverse 2. Younger patients 3. Patterns of spread typically non-lymphatic,
frequently metastasise to lungs (>80%) 4. Two genetic patterns
• Chromosomal instability/aneuploidy • Signature lesions with relative diploidy
5. Two (at least) pathologic groups • Neuroectodermal origin (SRBCT) • Mesodermal origins (spindle cell tumours)
6. Chemo- and radio-resistance (allegedly) 7. Scarcity of clinical trials
Sarcomas: malignant tumours of soft tissues and bone
Uncommon: 15% of childhood cancers
1% of adult cancers
853 sarcomas in Australia in 1988
Benign STS 100 times more common than malignant tumours Benign:
99% superficial to deep fascia, 95%< 5cm diamter
30% lipomas
30% fibrohistiocytic and fibrous tumours
10% vascular tumours
5% PNST
Clinical presentation Often painless Sometimes long-standing Deep to deep fascia >5cm

Overview
Diagnosis and staging Imaging key biopsy critical
Multidisciplinary management
Surgery is critical Adequate margins Limb-preservation Reconstruction
Adjuvant treatment
Radiotherapy for STS Chemotherapy
PNET/Ewings sarcoma/SRBCT Osteosarcoma Relatively controversial:
high-risk STS where RT impractical evidence of chemosensitivity (eg Synovial cell sarcoma)
Supportive care AYA Rehabilitation and survivorship
Difficult and uncertain Pathologic review
ECOG sarcoma trials (424 patients): 10% not sarcoma 14% disagreement regarding subtype
SWCG trials (216 patients): 6% not sarcoma 27% subtype incorrect
Scandinavian Sarcoma Group 20% of diagnoses disputed
Sarcoma NOS or Malignant fibrous histiocytoma
Disputed entity MFH represents de-differentiated forms of other defined entities (Fletcher, 2001) OR MFH is a discrete category in its own right
Histopathology and sarcomas
Importance of molecular subtype
The advent of targeted therapies makes accurate classification essential (Baselga and Arteaga, 2004)

Clear impact on efficacy and tolerability Implications for rational clinical trial design?

Biopsy
Critical Open vs core vs needle
Key surgical principles Adequate resection margins are critical Reconstruction essential, and often astonishingly successful Neo-adjuvant treatment can
Limit size of resection Be more effective than post-operative treatment, where tissue oxygenation is key Have prognostic value But also complicate wound healing
Radiotherapy principles
For curable STS, standard of care is pre-operative RT Usually 50-60Gy (radioresistant)
Note that PNET radiosensitive (usually 30-40Gy) Decreases local relapse rates to ~10% (cf 50%) Wound complications
Short-term Long-term
For palliation, shorter course RT
Pervaiz et al Cancer, 2008
18 trials, 1953 participants …but omitted results of EORTC 62931, a large randomised and negative study Conclusion—cannot be regarded as standard of care
Palliation of STS
Single agent efficacy Doxorubicin Ifosfamide DTIC
Newer regimens
Docetaxel/gemcitabine ET-743 Gemcitabine alone
