Abstract
Desmoid tumors (DTs) are rare, aggressive malignancies developing from clonal fibroblastic proliferation originating from soft tissues. Despite their low metastatic potential, their invasiveness towards neighboring organs and a high recurrence rate contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality, thereby impacting the quality of life of patients. Several therapeutic options are available, but standardized protocols are lacking. In this study, we reviewed 14 cases of DT retrospectively over a period of 15 years, from September 2008 to December 2023. The most prevalent tumor locations were in the extremities, and the majority of patients were female. We identified risk factors in two patients, those being surgical trauma and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Half of the patients underwent surgery for DT, and two received salvage radiotherapy. Systemic therapy was used in the first and second lines and comprised of chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAI). Active surveillance was proposed in three patients. This is the first retrospective study to assess the characteristics of DT in Moroccan patients in a tertiary care setting. It aims to shed light on the challenges faced in treating these rare tumors in the context of a lack of therapeutic standardization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and efficacy of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) for the treatment extra-abdominal desmoids. METHODS A total of 105 patients with desmoid fibromatosis (79 females, 26 males; 35 ± 14 years) were treated with MRgFUS between 2011 and 2021 in three centers. Total and viable tumors were evaluated per patient at last follow-up after treatment. Response and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed with (modified) response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST v.1.1 and mRECIST). Change in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain and 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) scores were compared. Treatment-related adverse events were recorded. RESULTS The median initial tumor volume was 114 mL (IQR 314 mL). After MRgFUS, median total and viable tumor volume decreased to 51 mL (95% CI: 30-71 mL, n = 101, p < 0.0001) and 29 mL (95% CI: 17-57 mL, n = 88, p < 0.0001), respectively, at last follow-up (median: 15 months, 95% CI: 11-20 months). Based on total tumor measurements (RECIST), 86% (95% CI: 75-93%) had at least stable disease or better at last follow-up, but 50% (95% CI: 38-62%) of remaining viable nodules (mRECIST) progressed within the tumor. Median PFS was reached at 17 and 13 months for total and viable tumors, respectively. NRS decreased from 6 (IQR 3) to 3 (IQR 4) (p < 0.001). SF-36 scores improved (physical health (41 (IQR 15) to 46 (IQR 12); p = 0.05, and mental health (49 (IQR 17) to 53 (IQR 9); p = 0.02)). Complications occurred in 36%, most commonly 1st/2nd degree skin burns. CONCLUSION MRgFUS reduced tumor volume, reduced pain, and improved quality of life in this series of 105 patients with extra-abdominal desmoid fibromatosis. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Imaging-guided ablation is being increasingly used as an alternative to surgery, radiation, and medical therapy for the treatment of desmoid fibromatosis. MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound is an incisionless ablation technique that can be used to reduce tumor burden effectively and safely. KEY POINTS • Desmoid fibromatosis was treated with MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound in 105 patients. • MR-guided focused ultrasound ablation reduced tumor volume and pain and improved quality of life. • MR-guided focused ultrasound is a treatment option for patients with extra-abdominal desmoid tumors.

Abstract
Extra-abdominal desmoid-type fibromatosis (EADTF) is a rare neoplastic condition of monoclonal fibroblastic proliferation characterized by local aggressiveness with a distinct tendency to recur. Although EADTF is a benign disease entity, these tumors have a tendency to infiltrate surrounding normal tissues, making it difficult to completely eliminate them without adjacent healthy tissue injury. Surgical excision of these locally aggressive tumors without clear resection margins often leads to local recurrence. The aim of this thorough review was to assess the current treatment concepts for these rare tumors. A comprehensive search of articles published in the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (PubMed), and EMBASE databases between January 2008 and February 2023 was conducted. Surgical intervention is no longer the first-line approach for most cases; instead, strategies like active surveillance or systemic therapies are used as initial treatment options. With the exception of EADTFs situated near vital structures, a minimum of 6-12 months of active surveillance is currently advocated for, during which some disease progression may be considered acceptable. Non-surgical interventions such as radiation or cryoablation may be employed in certain patients to achieve local control. The currently preferred systemic treatment options include tyrosine kinase inhibitors, low-dose chemotherapy, and gamma-secretase inhibitors, while hormone therapy is not advised. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are utilized primarily for pain management.

Abstract
Objectives Because size-based imaging criteria poorly capture biologic response in desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF), changes in MRI T2 signal intensity are frequently used as a response surrogate, but remain qualitative. We hypothesized that absolute quantification of DF T2 relaxation time derived from parametric T2 maps would be a feasible and effective imaging biomarker of disease activity. Methods This IRB-approved retrospective study included 11 patients with DF, managed by observation or systemic therapy, assessed by 3T MRI. Tumor maximum diameter, volume, and T2-weighted signal intensity were derived from manual tumor segmentations. Tumor:muscle T2 signal ratios were recorded. Two readers measured tumor T2 relaxation times using a commercial T2 scanning sequence, manual ROI delineation and commercial calculation software enabling estimation of reader reliability. Objective response rates based on RECIST1.1 and best responses were compared between size-based and signal-based parameters. Results Median patient age was 52.6 years; 8 subjects were female (73%). Nine patients with longitudinal assessments were followed for an average of 314 days. Median baseline tumor diameter was 7.2 cm (range 4.4 - 18.2 cm). Median baseline T2 was 65.1 ms (range 40.4 - 94.8 ms, n=11); median at last follow-up was 44.3 ms (-32% from baseline; range 29.3 - 94.7 ms, n=9). T2 relaxation times correlated with tumor:muscle T2 signal ratios, Spearman p=0.78 (p<0.001). T2 mapping showed high inter-reader reliability, ICC=0.84. The best response as a percentage change in T2 values was statistically significant (mean -17.9%, p=0.05, paired t-test) while change in diameter was not (mean -8.9%, p=0.12). Conclusions Analysis of T2 relaxation time maps of DF may offer a feasible quantitative biomarker for assessing the extent of response to treatment. This approach may have high inter-reader reliability.

Abstract
Despite sharing the same histologic classification, individual tumors in multi metastatic patients may present with different characteristics and varying sensitivities to anticancer therapies. In this study, we investigate the utility of radiomic biomarkers for prediction of lesion-specific treatment resistance in multi metastatic leiomyosarcoma patients. Using a dataset of n=202 lung metastases (LM) from n=80 patients with 1648 pre-treatment computed tomography (CT) radiomics features and LM progression determined from follow-up CT, we developed a radiomic model to predict the progression of each lesion. Repeat experiments assessed the relative predictive performance across LM volume groups. Lesion-specific radiomic models indicate up to a 5-fold increase in predictive capacity compared with a no-skill classifier, with an area under the precision-recall curve of 0.79 for the most precise model (FDR = 0.01). Precision varied by administered drug and LM volume. The effect of LM volume was controlled by removing radiomic features at a volume-correlation coefficient threshold of 0.20. Predicting lesion-specific responses using radiomic features represents a novel strategy by which to assess treatment response that acknowledges biological diversity within metastatic subclones, which could facilitate management strategies involving selective ablation of resistant clones in the setting of systemic therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Desmoid-type fibromatosis are rare intermediate tumors in children and adolescents. Owing to local aggressiveness and relapse, systemic treatment for symptomatic advanced or progressive forms is recommended. Following promising results in adult patients, oral vinorelbine is investigated in young patients. METHODS A retrospective review of young patients (<25 years old) with advanced or progressive desmoid type fibromatosis treated with oral vinorelbine in eight large centers of the Société Française des Cancers de l'Enfant was performed. In addition to tumor assessment according to RECIST 1.1, pre-treatment and during-treatment imagery were reviewed centrally to assess tumor volume and estimate fibrosis score through the change in percentage in hypoT2 signal intensity. RESULTS From 2005 to 2020, 24 patients (median age 13.9 years [range, 1.0-23.0]) received oral vinorelbine. Median number of prior systemic lines of treatment was 1 (range, 0-2), mainly based on intravenous low dose methotrexate and vinblastine. Before vinorelbine initiation, all patients had a progressive disease: radiological for 19, radiological and clinical (pain) for three and only clinical for two. Oral vinorelbine was delivered for a median duration of 12 months (range, 1-42). The toxicity profile was favorable, with no grade 3-4 event. Overall response estimated on 23 evaluable patients according to RECIST 1.1 criteria was three partial responses (13%), 18 stabilization (78%) and two progressive disease (9%). Overall progression-free survival was 89.3% (95% confidential intervals 75.2-100) at 24 months. Four stable tumors according to standard RECIST criteria displayed a partial response with > 65% tumor volume reduction. Among 21 informative patients, the estimated fibrosis score decreased for 15 patients, was stable for four patients and increased for two patients. CONCLUSION Oral vinorelbine seems to be effective to control advanced or progressive desmoid type fibromatosis in young patients, with a well-tolerated profile. These results support testing this drug as first-line alone or in combination to improve response rate while preserving quality of life.

Abstract
This paper provides imaging recommendations for pediatric abdominal tumors that arise outside of the solid viscera. These tumors are rare in children and have been categorized in two groups: abdominal wall and peritoneal tumors (desmoid tumor and desmoplastic small round cell tumor) and tumors that arise from the gastrointestinal tract (gastrointestinal stromal tumor and gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor). Authors offer consensus recommendations for imaging assessment of these tumors at diagnosis, during follow-up, and when off-therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the clinical efficacy and safety of serial triamcinolone injections for the treatment of desmoid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Nine patients were enrolled into this prospective study and underwent three serial ultrasound-guided triamcinolone injections (120 mg) at 6-week intervals. MRI was compared at baseline and every 6 months, out to 24 months. Safety and tolerability were assessed by clinical evaluation and questionnaires, including the 12-item short form survey (SF-12), visual analog scale (VAS), and desmoid patient-reported outcome (PRO) tool. RESULTS At 24 months, 8 (88.9%) patients demonstrated a reduction in the volume of their tumor while 1 (11.1%) enlarged. Median tumor volume change was -26.9% (-81.1% to 34.6%; P = 0.055) All 9 tumors remained stable based on World Health Organization criteria, whereas 2 (22.2%) demonstrated partial response based on RECIST. There was a significant decrease in the tumor:muscle postcontrast mean signal intensity ratio at 6 months (P = 0.008) and 24 months (P = 0.004). There was a similar decrease in the tumor:muscle T2 mean signal intensity ratio at 24 months (P = 0.02). We found no difference in the SF-12 and VAS scores, but there were significant improvements in the desmoid PRO. CONCLUSIONS Treatment of desmoid tumors with serial triamcinolone injections appears safe and well tolerated by patients, with a 22% partial response based on RECIST. Further research is needed to confirm our results and determine factors predictive of response.

Abstract
PURPOSE Determine whether specific CTNNB1 or APC mutations in patients with desmoid tumor were associated with differences in clinical responses to systemic treatments. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We established a multi-institutional dataset of previously treated patients with desmoid tumor across four U.S. sarcoma centers, including demographic and clinicopathologic characteristics, treatment regimens, and clinical and radiographic responses. CTNNB1 or APC mutation status was determined from prior pathology records, or archival tissue was requested and analyzed by Sanger sequencing and/or next-generation sequencing. Evaluable patients with mutation results were analyzed to determine clinical progression-free survival (cPFS), RECIST 1.1 PFS (rPFS), time to next treatment (TTNT), and overall survival (OS). Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression were performed to identify differences in cPFS, rPFS, TTNT, and OS by mutation subtype, desmoid tumor location, and treatment regimen. RESULTS A total of 259 evaluable patients were analyzed for at least one of the survival outcomes, with 177 patients having mutation data. First- and second-line cPFS, rPFS, and TTNT were not significantly affected by mutation subtype; however, APC-mutant desmoid tumors demonstrated nonstatistically significant inferior outcomes. Extremity/trunk desmoid tumor location and treatment with doxorubicin-based, methotrexate/vinca alkaloids and sorafenib regimens were associated with better clinical outcomes compared with surgery or "other" therapies, including estrogen-receptor blockade and imatinib. OS was significantly worse with APC or CTNNB1 negative/other mutations. CONCLUSIONS Mutation subtype did not affect responses to specific systemic therapies. APC mutations and nonextremity desmoid tumor locations remain prognostic for worse outcomes, and earlier initiation of systemic therapy for these higher-risk desmoid tumors should be prospectively evaluated.

Abstract
There are numerous soft tissue tumors and tumor-like conditions in the pediatric population. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most useful modality for imaging these lesions. Although certain soft tissue lesions exhibit magnetic resonance features characteristic of a specific diagnosis, most lesions are indeterminate, and a biopsy is necessary for diagnosis. We provide a detailed update of soft tissue tumors and tumor-like conditions that occur in the pediatric population, emphasizing each lesion's conventional magnetic resonance imaging appearance, using the recently released 5th edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Soft Tissue and Bone Tumors as a guide. In part one of this review, pediatric tumor-like lesions, adipocytic tumors, fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumors, and perivascular tumors are discussed. In part two, vascular lesions, fibrohistiocytic tumors, muscle tumors, peripheral nerve sheath tumors, tumors of uncertain differentiation, and undifferentiated small round cell sarcomas are reviewed. Per the convention of the WHO, these lesions involve the connective, subcutaneous, and other non-parenchymatous-organ soft tissues, as well as the peripheral and autonomic nervous system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiomics can provide quantitative features from medical imaging that can be correlated with various biological features and clinical endpoints. Delta radiomics, on the other hand, consists in the analysis of feature variation at different acquisition time points, usually before and after therapy. The aim of this study was to provide a systematic review of the different delta radiomics approaches. METHODS Eligible articles were searched in Embase, PubMed, and ScienceDirect using a search string that included free text and/or Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) with three key search terms: "radiomics", "texture", and "delta". Studies were analysed using QUADAS-2 and the RQS tool. RESULTS Forty-eight studies were finally included. The studies were divided into preclinical/methodological (five studies, 10.4%); rectal cancer (six studies, 12.5%); lung cancer (twelve studies, 25%); sarcoma (five studies, 10.4%); prostate cancer (three studies, 6.3%), head and neck cancer (six studies, 12.5%); gastrointestinal malignancies excluding rectum (seven studies, 14.6%), and other disease sites (four studies, 8.3%). The median RQS of all studies was 25% (mean 21% ± 12%), with 13 studies (30.2%) achieving a quality score < 10% and 22 studies (51.2%) < 25%. CONCLUSIONS Delta radiomics shows potential benefit for several clinical endpoints in oncology (differential diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of treatment response, and evaluation of side effects). Nevertheless, the studies included in this systematic review suffer from the bias of overall low quality, so that the conclusions are currently heterogeneous, not robust, and not replicable. Further research with prospective and multicentre studies is needed for the clinical validation of delta radiomics approaches.

Abstract
Simple Summary Abdominal desmoids are rare fibroblastic tumors. Though these tumors do not display metastatic potential, their locally aggressive nature can cause severe outcomes. Most cases appear sporadically, but 5–15% are associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndrome. Current consensus recommendations do not offer a standard sequence of therapy due to the lack of data for some treatment options. Here, we present an ongoing clinical experience with abdominal desmoids. The majority of our patients suffered severe outcomes such as need for surgery or major tumor complications. A small, but unique group of 16 non-FAP mesenteric desmoid was found to harbor genetic alterations in cancer associated genes other than APC, including CHEK2, BLM, ERCC5, MSH6, and PALB2. Abstract Introduction: Abdominal desmoid tumors are locally aggressive tumors that develop in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients, within the mesentery or abdominal wall. The understanding and implications of the treatment regimens are evolving. Aim: To assess the course, treatment, and outcomes of FAP and non-FAP abdominal desmoids and their related genetic alterations. Methods: Retrospective cohort study. Demographics, tumor characteristics, oncological and surgical history, complications, genetic-testing, and mortality data were retrieved from two tertiary referral centers. Results: Sixty-two patients were identified (46 FAP and 16 non-FAP). Thirty-eight patients (61.3%) underwent surgical procedures (12 urgent and 26 elective). Out of 33 tumor resections, 39.4% recurred. Hormonal therapy, COX-inhibitors, chemotherapy, imatinib, and sorafenib were used in 35 (56.4%), 30 (48.4%), 18 (29.1%), 7 (11.3%), and 8 (12.9%) of patients, respectively, with a 2 year progression-free survival of 67.8%, 57.7%, 38.4%, and 28.5%, respectively. Forty-one patients (66.1%) suffered complications: bowel obstruction (30.6%), hyperalimentation (14.5%), ureteral obstruction (12.9%), perforation (11.3%), abscess formation (3.2%), and spinal cord compression (3.2%). Non-FAP patients carried pathogenic mutations in CHEK2, BLM, ERCC5, MSH6, and PALB2. Conclusions: Abdominal desmoids are mostly FAP-related and are associated with severe outcomes. We also report a group of non-FAP abdominal desmoids, which includes patients with additional cancer-related gene alterations. This interesting group should be further explored.

Abstract
Purpose To determine whether MRI volumetric and image texture analysis correlates with treatment-induced biologic changes in desmoid fibromatosis (DF) earlier than conventional response criteria. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 27 patients with histologically proven extra-abdominal DF who were managed with active surveillance or systemic therapy (from 2004 to 2016). MRI volumetric and image texture parameters were derived from manual tumor segmentations, and tumor signal intensity was normalized to muscle. Results were compared with objective response rates based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, World Health Organization (WHO) lesion response, volumetrics, and MRI-modified Choi criteria. Correlation coefficients (r) between image texture features and maximum tumor diameters were obtained by using a meta-analysis approach. Results The 27 included patients (mean age, 39 years; 74% women) were followed for an average of 4 years, comprising 207 distinct time-point assessments. The mean baseline tumor maximum diameter was 7.9 cm (range, 3.4-15.2 cm). Partial response (PR) rates as best response were 37%, 44%, 70%, and 81% by RECIST, WHO, volumetrics, and MRI-modified Choi criteria, respectively. Among the 10 tumors showing RECIST PR, a preceding MRI-modified Choi PR was observed in 70% (seven of 10), on average 1.3 years earlier. Multiple image texture parameters showed associations with objective measurements of tumor diameter including mean tumor-to-muscle signal ratio (r = 0.51; P = .004), median tumor-to-muscle signal ratio (r = 0.52; P = .003), energy (r = 0.48; P < .001), run entropy (r = 0.32, P = .04), and gray-level nonuniformity (r = 0.54; P ≤ .001). Conclusion Volumetric signal and image texture assessment allows more comprehensive analysis of DF biologic change and may permit early prediction of DF behavior and therapeutic response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Superficial fibromatosis exhibits variable MR signal intensity due to collagenous and fibroproliferative components. Quantifying this signal heterogeneity using image texture analysis and T2-mapping could have prognostic and therapeutic implications. METHODS This IRB-approved retrospective study included 13 patients with superficial fibromatosis, managed by observation, electron beam radiotherapy (EBT), or pentoxifylline/vitamin E. Two-dimensional regions of interest (ROIs) were drawn on proton-density or T2-weighted MRI for radiomics feature analysis, and corresponding T2-maps. Comparisons were made between baseline and follow-up T2 relaxation times and radiomics features: Shannon's entropy, kurtosis, skewness, mean of positive pixels (MPP), and uniformity of distribution of positive gray-level pixel values (UPP). RESULTS There were 19 nodules in 13 subjects. Mean patient age was 60 years; 62% (8/13) were female; mean follow-up was 9.7 months. Nodule diameter at baseline averaged 18.2 mm (std dev 16.2 mm) and decreased almost 10% to 16.6 mm (p = 0.1, paired t-test). Normalized T2 signal intensity decreased 23% from 0.71 to 0.55 (p = 0.03, paired t-test). T2 relaxation time decreased 16% from 46.5 to 39.1 ms (p < 0.001, paired t-test). Among radiomics features, skewness increased to 0.71 from 0.41 (p = 0.03, paired t-test), and entropy decreased from 8.37 to 8.03 (p = 0.05, paired t-test); differences in other radiomics features were not significant. CONCLUSIONS Radiomics analysis and T2-mapping of superficial fibromatosis is feasible; robust decreases in absolute T2 relaxation time, and changes in image textural features (increased skewness and decreased entropy) offer novel imaging biomarkers of nodule collagenization and maturation.

Abstract
Background Feature reproducibility and model validation are two main challenges of radiomics. This study aims to systematically review radiomic feature reproducibility and predictive model validation strategies in studies dealing with CT and MRI radiomics of bone and soft-tissue sarcomas. The ultimate goal is to promote achieving a consensus on these aspects in radiomic workflows and facilitate clinical transferability. Results Out of 278 identified papers, forty-nine papers published between 2008 and 2020 were included. They dealt with radiomics of bone (n = 12) or soft-tissue (n = 37) tumors. Eighteen (37%) studies included a feature reproducibility analysis. Inter-/intra-reader segmentation variability was the theme of reproducibility analysis in 16 (33%) investigations, outnumbering the analyses focused on image acquisition or post-processing (n = 2, 4%). The intraclass correlation coefficient was the most commonly used statistical method to assess reproducibility, which ranged from 0.6 and 0.9. At least one machine learning validation technique was used for model development in 25 (51%) papers, and K-fold cross-validation was the most commonly employed. A clinical validation of the model was reported in 19 (39%) papers. It was performed using a separate dataset from the primary institution (i.e., internal validation) in 14 (29%) studies and an independent dataset related to different scanners or from another institution (i.e., independent validation) in 5 (10%) studies. Conclusions The issues of radiomic feature reproducibility and model validation varied largely among the studies dealing with musculoskeletal sarcomas and should be addressed in future investigations to bring the field of radiomics from a preclinical research area to the clinical stage.

Abstract
In children with desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) in whom disease progression occurs after an initial watch-and-wait strategy, prolonged low-dose chemotherapy using vinblastine and methotrexate (VBL-MTX) is currently the standard of care. These conventional drugs have been prospectively evaluated but their efficacy and safety profiles are limited, and alternative therapeutic options are therefore essential. Based on the results of clinical trials, the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the treatment of DTF is currently considered only in adult patients. TKIs such as imatinib show superior therapeutic efficacy to VBL-MTX and tolerable short-term side effects for the treatment of adult DFT, supporting the concept of the use of TKIs for the treatment of paediatric DFT. Moreover, new-generation TKIs, such as pazopanib and sorafenib, have shown improved therapeutic efficacy compared to imatinib in adult non-comparative studies. A tolerable safety profile of TKI therapy in children with disease entities other than DTF, such as leukaemia, has been reported. However, the efficacy and, in particular, the long-term safety of TKIs, including childhood-specific aspects such as growth and fertility, for the treatment of children with DTF should be investigated prospectively, as DFT therapy requires long-term drug exposure.
