Uterine leiomyosarcoma management, outcome, and associated molecular biomarkers: a single institution's experience.

ABSTRACT: Uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS) is an aggressive, rapidly progressive tumor lacking clinical and molecular predictors of outcome.ULMS patients (n = 349) were classified by disease status at presentation to MDACC as having intra-abdominal (n = 157) or distant metastatic disease (n = 192). Patient, tumor, treatment, and outcome variables were retrospectively retrieved. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor and control tissues from these patients (n = 109) were assembled in a tissue microarray and evaluated for hormone receptors and markers of angiogenesis, cell-cycle progression and survival. Patient, tumor, and treatment variables were correlatively analyzed.The 5- and 10-year disease-specific survival (DSS) for the cohort was 42 and 27 %, respectively. Patients with primary intra-abdominal tumors had better outcomes than those with recurrent intraperitoneal tumors. Whites had a more favorable prognosis. In patients with intra-abdominal tumors, only mitotic count >10M/10HPF portended poorer prognosis. Patients with pulmonary metastasis had improved outcomes with "curative" metastasectomy. ULMS samples exhibited loss of ER and PR expression, overexpressed Ki-67, and altered p53, Rb, p16, cytoplasmic ?-catenin, EGFR, PDGFR-?, PDGFR-?, and AXL levels. Metastatic tumors had increased VEGF, Ki-67, and survivin expression versus localized disease. Survivin and ?-catenin expression were associated with intraperitoneal recurrence; high bcl-2 expression predicted longer DSS.Analysis of both clinicopathologic factors and immunohistochemical biomarkers in ULMS identified several prognostic clinical and molecular factors, suggesting that further study may lead to improved ULMS understanding and treatment.

Project description:The morphologic assessment of uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) may be challenging, and diagnostic immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis is currently lacking. We evaluated the genomic landscape of 167 uterine LMS by targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify common genomic alterations. IHC analyses corresponding to these genomic landmarks were applied to a test cohort of 16 uterine LMS, 6 smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP), and 6 leiomyomas with NGS data and a validation cohort of 8 uterine LMS, 12 STUMP, 21 leiomyomas and leiomyoma variants, 7 low-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas, and 2 diagnostically challenging uterine smooth muscle tumors. IHC results were individually interpreted by 3 pathologists blinded to NGS data. Overall, 94% of LMS showed ≥1 genomic alteration involving TP53, RB1, ATRX, PTEN, CDKN2A, or MDM2, with 80% showing alterations in ≥2 of these genes. In the test cohort, an initial panel of p53, Rb, PTEN, and ATRX was applied, followed by a panel of DAXX, MTAP, and MDM2 in cases without abnormalities. Abnormal p53, Rb, PTEN, and ATRX IHC expression was seen in 75%, 88%, 44%, and 38% of LMS, respectively, in the test cohort. Two or more abnormal IHC results among these markers were seen in 81% of LMS. STUMPs demonstrated only 1 IHC abnormality involving these markers. No IHC abnormalities were seen in leiomyomas. In the validation cohort, abnormal p53, Rb, and PTEN IHC results were seen in LMS, whereas rare STUMP or leiomyomas with bizarre nuclei showed IHC abnormalities involving only 1 of the markers. Abnormalities in ≥2 markers were present in both diagnostically challenging smooth muscle tumors, confirming LMS. Concordance was excellent among pathologists in the interpretation of IHC (κ = 0.97) and between IHC and NGS results (κ = 0.941). Uterine LMS exhibit genomic landmark alterations for which IHC surrogates exist, and a diagnostic algorithm involving molecular-based IHC may aid in the evaluation of unusual uterine smooth muscle tumors.

Project description:BackgroundTo investigate the effect of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) on pulmonary oligometastases and to analyze the clinical factors and dose parameters affecting local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS).MethodsThis study retrospectively enrolled a total of 84 patients (148 lesions) treated in our department from May 2015 to November 2018. Pulmonary oligometastases was defined as up to 5 metastatic lesions in the lung and with both the primary tumor and any extra-thoracic metastases being controlled. Patients receiving a BED10 (biological effective dose, α/β =10) of SBRT ≥75 Gy and a dose/fraction ≥4 Gy were enrolled. The patient group consisted of 52 men (61.9%) and 32 women (38.1%), with a median age 56 years (range, 29-80 years). Median tumor diameter was 1.71cm (range, 1.2-5.0 cm). The BED10 was 75-119 Gy in 4-15 fractions. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed on factors predicting the outcomes.ResultsAll patients completed the treatment as planned, and the median follow-up time was 20.3 months. The median OS for the entire group was 34.3 months, with an actuarial 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-year OS of 74.7%, 59.4%, 49.7%, and 36.8%, respectively. Among the 148 lesions in the whole group, 19 (12.8%) lesions had local recurrence (LR). The median LRFS time for all patients was 56.9 months. The LRFS rate was 93.6%, 83.5%, 81.4%, and 76.6% at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years, respectively. No patient developed acute grade 3 or 4 toxicity. On univariate analysis, age ≥63 years old, primary site of colorectal cancer, BED10 <85.2 Gy, pathological type of adenocarcinoma, planning target volume (PTV) min BED10 <76.6 Gy, and gross tumor volume (GTV) ≥8.8 cc, were significantly associated with poorer LRFS. Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥63 years old, primary site of colorectal cancer, and PTV min BED10 <76.6 Gy were significant risk factors affecting LRFS.ConclusionsSBRT is feasible for pulmonary oligometastasis with favorable local control and minimal toxicity. Multiple dose parameters, instead of a prescription dose only, in combination with clinical parameters, should be considered for optimal local control.
