Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the response rates of different extremity soft-tissue sarcoma subtypes (eSTS) after isolated limb perfusion (ILP), based on an international multi-centre study. MATERIALS AND METHODS The retrospective cohort comprised eSTS patients from 17 specialised ILP centres that underwent melphalan-based ILP, with or without recombinant human tumour necrosis factor (rhTNFα) (TM-ILP and M-ILP, respectively). Response was measured on imaging (magnetic resonance imaging) and/or clinical response, for which M-ILPs were excluded. RESULTS A total of 1109 eSTS patients were included. The three most common histological subtypes were undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (17%, n = 184), synovial sarcoma (16%, n = 175) and myxofibrosarcoma (8%, n = 87). rhTNFα was used in 93% (TM-ILP) and resulted in a significantly better overall response rate (ORR, p = 0.031) and complete responses (CR, p < 0.001) in comparison to M-ILP, without significant differences among histological subgroups. The ORR of TM-ILP was 68%, including 17% CR. Also, 80% showed progressive disease. Significantly higher response rates were shown for Kaposi sarcoma (KS) with 42% CR and 96% ORR (both p < 0.001), and significantly higher CR rates for angiosarcoma (AS, 45%, p < 0.001) and clear cell sarcoma (CCS, 31%, p = 0.049). ILP was followed by resection ≤ 6 months in 80% of the patients. The overall limb salvage rate was 88%, without significant differences among histological subgroups, but was significantly higher for ILP responders compared to non-responders (93% versus 76%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION ILP resulted in high response and LRS among all eSTS subtypes, however, with significant differences between subtypes with most promising results for KS, AS and CCS.

Health-related quality of life after isolated limb perfusion compared to extended resection, or amputation for locally advanced extremity sarcoma: Is a limb salvage strategy worth the effort? Eur J Surg Oncol 2021; 48:500-507. [PMID: 34389213 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2021.08.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2021] [Revised: 07/12/2021] [Accepted: 08/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare long-term patient reported outcomes (PROs) in patients with locally advanced extremity soft tissue sarcoma (eSTS) after isolated limb perfusion followed by resection (IR), compared to extended resection (ER), primary amputation (A) or secondary amputation after IR (IR-A). METHODS Patients were selected from the respondents of a multi-institutional cross-sectional cohort survivorship study (SURVSARC) conducted among sarcoma survivors registered in the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR), 2-10 years after diagnosis. Used PROs were the EORTC QLQ-C30, the Cancer worry scale (CWS), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS). RESULTS We identified 97 eSTS survivors: IR = 20, ER = 49, A = 20, IR-A = 8. While there were no differences in PROs between IR and ER, results showed better functioning and functionality in both groups versus the amputation groups. The amputation groups scored significantly lower on physical functioning (A = 62.7, IR-A = 65.7 versus IR = 78.0, ER = 82.7, p = 0.001) and role functioning (A = 67.5, IR-A = 52.8 versus IR = 79.2, ER = 80.6, p = 0.039), both EORTC QLQ-C30 scales. Also for the TESS, the scores were significantly lower for the amputation groups compared to the limb sparing groups (upper extremity p = 0.007 with A = 68.9, IR-A = 71.6 versus IR = 93.3, ER = 91.1; lower extremity p < 0.001 with A = 72.2, IR-A50.9 versus IR = 84.5 and ER = 85.5). There were no significant differences between the groups on cancer worry, anxiety and depression. CONCLUSION HRQoL in eSTS survivors treated with IR or ER is equal; for maintenance of physical functioning and functionality IR and ER outperform an amputation.

Abstract
Soft tissue sarcomas constitute 1% of adult malignant tumors. They are a heterogeneous group of more than 50 different histologic types. Isolated limb perfusion is an established treatment strategy for locally advanced sarcomas. Since its adoption for sarcomas in 1992, after the addition of TNFα, few modifications have been done and although indications for the procedure are essentially the same across centers, technical details vary widely. The procedures mainly involves a 60 min perfusion with melphalan and TNFα under mild hyperthermia, achieving a limb preservation rate of 72-96%; with an overall response rates from 72 to 82.5% and an acceptable toxicity according to the Wieberdink scale. The local failure rate is 27% after a median follow up of 14-31 months compared to 40% of distant recurrences after a follow up of 12-22 months. Currently there is no consensus regarding the benefit of ILP per histotype, and the value of addition of radiotherapy or systemic treatment. Further developments towards individualized treatments will provide a better understanding of the population that can derive maximum benefit of ILP with the least morbidity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma. In case of locally advanced disease, mutilating surgery such as amputations or major reconstructive procedures are sometimes inevitable. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of isolated limb perfusion (ILP) in patients with locally advanced KS of the extremities. MATERIAL AND METHODS All patients who underwent ILP for KS between 1996 and 2018 at Erasmus MC, Rotterdam were identified. Clinical data was obtained from either a prospectively maintained database or retrospective assessment of patient files. RESULTS A total of 14 primary ILP's were performed in 11 patients. Median follow-up from primary ILP was 30 months (range, 5-98). The overall response rate of primary ILP was 100%, with a complete response (CR) rate of 50%. Only minimal local toxicity (Wieberdink I-III) was observed. Local progressive disease occurred after eight primary ILP's (57%) with a median local progression free survival (PFS) of 18 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.0-28.9). Subsequently, four (46%) patients received a total of 5 recurrent ILP's. After the recurrent ILP on the same leg, the overall response rate was 75% and a CR-rate of 50%. One patient needed amputation post-operatively resulting in a limb salvage rate of 91%. One (9%) patient developed metastases four months after ILP. CONCLUSIONS ILP is a highly effective treatment modality with very limited morbidity rates for patients with locally advanced KS of the extremity. ILP should be considered as a treatment modality for locally advanced KS of the extremities.

Comparison of Survival in Patients with Isolated Peritoneal Carcinomatosis from Colorectal Cancer Treated with Cytoreduction and Melphalan or Mitomycin-C as Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Agent. Int J Surg Oncol 2018; 2018:1920276. [PMID: 30643644 PMCID: PMC6311272 DOI: 10.1155/2018/1920276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2018] [Revised: 10/05/2018] [Accepted: 11/19/2018] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The role of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colorectal cancer (CRC) is debated. Melphalan as a perfusion agent has also demonstrated survival benefit in other recurrent and chemoresistant malignancies. Thus, we hypothesize that melphalan as a HIPEC agent may improve overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with PC from CRC. Methods A retrospective review of a prospective database of 48 patients who underwent optimal CRS (CC-0/1) and HIPEC from 2001-2016 was performed. Nineteen had CRS/HIPEC with melphalan (group I) and 29 with mitomycin-C (group II). Survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression was used for multivariate analysis. Perioperative variables were compared. Results Mean age at CRS/HIPEC was 53±10 years. Median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 17 vs 13 in groups I and II, respectively (p=0.86). PCI≥20 occurred in 9 (47%) and 13 (45%) patients in groups I and II, respectively. Positive lymph nodes were identified in 8/19 (42%) vs 12/29 (41%) in groups I and II, respectively (p=0.73). Multivariate analysis identified PCI≥20 as a predictive factor of survival (HR: 7.5). Median OS in groups I and II was 36 and 28 months, respectively (p=0.54). Median PFS in groups I and II was 10 and 20 months, respectively (p=0.05). Conclusions CRS/HIPEC with MMC had longer median PFS in PC from CRC. PCI≥20 was the only independent predictive factor for survival. Until longer follow-up is available, we recommend using MMC in CRS/HIPEC for PC from CRC. Further prospective randomized studies are necessary.

Abstract
The relatively low incidence and often atypical clinical presentation of soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) impedes early and adequate diagnosis. Patients may report on recently enlarged soft-tissue swellings, infrequently complain of painful lesions, or even have no symptoms at all. A thorough diagnostic work-up is essential in order to distinguish between benign soft-tissue tumours and STSs. Patient history, clinical features and radiological findings all help in assessing the underlying pathology. ‘Worrying’ features such as recent increase in size, deep location relative to the fascia, a tumour exceeding 4 cm in size, and invasive growth patterns seen on imaging should prompt verification by biopsy. Even though acquisition of biopsy material may be incomplete, one should bear in mind some essential rules. Regardless of the biopsy technique applied, the most direct route to the lump in question should be identified, contamination of adjacent structures should be avoided and a sufficient amount of tissue acquired. Treatment of STS is best planned by a multidisciplinary team, involving experts from various medical specialities. The benchmark therapy consists of en bloc resection of the tumour, covered by a safety margin of healthy tissue. Depending on tumour histology, grade, local extent and anatomical stage, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and isolated hyperthermic limb perfusion may be employed. Due to the complexity of treatment, any soft-tissue swelling suspected of malignancy is best referred directly to a sarcoma centre, where therapeutic management is carefully planned by an experienced multidisciplinary team.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isolated limb perfusion (ILP) and isolated limb infusion (ILI) have been variably used in recent years for the treatment of locally advanced or marginally resectable extremity soft tissue sarcomas (STSs). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of contemporary studies to further characterize treatment patterns and outcomes. METHODS PubMed was queried for articles published in or after the year 2000, in the English language, with > 10 patients, and with adequate outcome data following ILP/ILI. Descriptive aggregate statistics were performed. RESULTS Nineteen studies that met the inclusion criteria were identified, with a total of 1288 patients. Weighted mean patient age was 55.9 years and 52% were male. The majority underwent ILP (88%) versus 12% for ILI, and chemotherapeutic regimens used were as follows: (1) melphalan with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (78%), (2) melphalan ± actinomycin (10%), and (3) other regimens (12%). Most common histologies treated were malignant fibrous histiocytoma (21%), liposarcoma (16%), synovial (11%) and leiomyosarcoma (7%). Aggregate overall response rate (ORR) post-procedure was 73.3%, with 25.8% demonstrating a complete response (CR). Similar unadjusted ORRs were noted in the melphalan treatment groups with and without TNFα (72.0 and 67.0%, respectively; p = 0.27). Grade III toxicity was observed in 15.4% of patients, and grade IV/V toxicity was observed in 6.0% of patients. Overall limb salvage rate was 73.8% and median time to local (in-field) progression ranged from 4 to 28 months (weighted median 22.1 months). CONCLUSION ILP and ILI for extremity STS can be safely performed with appreciable response rates and significant limb salvage rates. Further study is needed to identify optimal treatment regimens by histology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Uterine sarcoma (US) is a rare tumor representing 1% of female genital tract malignancies. Peritoneal sarcomatosis (PS) after US, diminishes median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) alone, with or without systemic chemotherapy is <1 year and 6 months, respectively. A multi-institutional review of PS from US was conducted to evaluate CRS and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and effects on survival outcomes. METHODS A retrospective review of 36 patients from 7 specialized international centers was performed. Selection criteria included PS of uterine origin with CRS/HIPEC treatment. Clinical data were analyzed. OS and PFS were estimated with Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Thirty-six patients underwent a total 38 HIPEC procedures performed from 2005 to 2014; 35 previous treatment and 1 primary treatment. Twenty-nine (81%) LMS patients, 3 (8%) endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS), 3 (8%) adeneosarcoma (AS), and 1 (3%) categorized as other. Median PCI was 16 (range: 2-39), 10 patients had PCI ≥20. Thirty-four patients (94%) had complete cytoreduction (CC 0-1), 19 patients recurred. CRS/HIPEC OS at 1, 3, and 5-years was 75%, 53%, and 32% respectively, with median OS of 37 months (CI 95%: 20-54). PFS in 32 patients with CC at 1, 3, and 5-years was 67%, 32% and 32%, respectively with median PFS of 18.9 months (CI 95%: 6.7-31). CONCLUSIONS CRS/HIPEC is a promising treatment modality for patients with PS. Histological subtype may influence survival. A global prospective registry of patients to further assess the efficacy of CRS/HIPEC is needed.
