Multimodality Treatment of Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor: Chemotherapy and Complete Cytoreductive Surgery Improve Patient Survival.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT), which harbors EWSR1-WT1 t(11;22)(p13:q12) chromosomal translocation, is an aggressive malignancy that typically presents as intra-abdominal sarcomatosis in young males. Given its rarity, optimal treatment has not been defined.Experimental Design: We conducted a retrospective study of 187 patients with DSRCT treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center over 2 decades. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed. We determined whether chemotherapy, complete cytoreductive surgery (CCS), hyperthermic intraperitoneal cisplatin (HIPEC), and/or whole abdominal radiation (WART) improve overall survival (OS) in patients with DSRCT. Critically, because our institutional practice limits HIPEC and WART to patients with less extensive, potentially resectable disease that had benefited from neoadjuvant chemotherapy, a time-variant analysis was performed to evaluate those adjunct treatment modalities.Results: The pre-2003 5-year OS rate of 5% has substantially improved to 25% with the advent of newer chemotherapies and better surgical and radiotherapy techniques (HR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.29-0.75). Chemotherapy response (log rank P = 0.004) and CCS (log rank P < 0.0001) were associated with improved survival. Although WART and HIPEC lacked statistical significance, our study was not powered to detect their potential impact upon OS.Conclusions: Improved 3- and 5-year OS were observed following multidisciplinary treatment that includes Ewing sarcoma (ES)-based chemotherapy and complete tumor cytoreductive surgery, but few if any patients are cured. Prospective randomized studies will be required to prove whether HIPEC or WART are important. In the meantime, chemotherapy and CCS remain the cornerstone of treatment and provide a solid foundation to evaluate new biologically targeted therapies.

Project description:BackgroundDesmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare, aggressive sarcoma. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) may improve survival.MethodsA retrospective review of anesthetic management and postoperative pain control strategies after CRS/HIPEC for DSRCT from 2013 to 2017 was performed.ResultsThe review analyzed 10 CRS/HIPEC procedures performed for nine DSRCT patients with a median age of 19 years (range 10-24 years). Six of these patients were Caucasian, and seven were men. The median operative duration was 551 min (range 510-725 min), and the median anesthesia duration was 621 min (range 480-820 min). Postoperative mechanical ventilation was necessary in 5 patients for a median duration of 1 day (range 0-2 days). The median intraoperative intravenous fluid administration was 13 ml/kg/h (range 6.3-24.4 ml/kg/h), and the colloid administration was 12 ml/kg (range 0.0-53.0 ml/kg). The median blood loss was 15 ml/kg (range 6.3-77.2 ml/kg). Nine patients received intraoperative transfusion with a median red blood cell transfusion volume of 14 ml/kg (range 10.1-58.5 ml/kg). The median intraoperative urine output was 2 ml/kg/h (range 0.09-8.40 ml/kg/h), and half of the patients received intraoperative diuretics. Cisplatin was used during HIPEC for eight surgeries. Acute kidney injury was observed in two patients, one of whom required short-term dialysis. Epidural infusions were used in eight cases for a median of 4 days (range 3-5 days). Postoperative intravenous opioid use (morphine equivalent) was 0.67 mg/kg/day (range 0.1-9.2 mg/kg/day) administered for a median of 11 days (range 2-35 days).ConclusionCytoreduction and HIPEC for DSRCT are associated with significant perioperative fluid requirements and potentially challenging pain management. Renal protective strategies should be considered for reduction of cisplatin-associated nephrotoxicity. Further investigation for a more effective, less systemically toxic HIPEC agent is warranted.

Project description:Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSCRT) is an uncommon pediatric tumor with a poor prognosis. Aggressive multimodality therapy is the current treatment approach; however. treatment toxicity is of concern. We report our results with whole abdominopelvic intensity-modulated radiation therapy (WAP-IMRT) as a component of multimodality therapy for DSCRT at a single institution.Medical records of all patients with DSCRT who received WAP-IMRT as part of definitive treatment at MD Anderson (2006-2010) were identified and reviewed.Eight patients with DSRCT received WAP-IMRT with a median follow-up of 15.2 months. All patients received multiple courses of chemotherapy followed by surgical debulking of intra-abdominal disease; seven also had intraoperative hyperthermic cisplatin. WAP-IMRT was delivered to a total dose of 30 Gy postoperatively; four patients received a simultaneous boost (6-10 Gy) to sites of gross residual disease. Seven patients received concurrent chemotherapy during WAP-IMRT. No Radiation Therapy Oncology Group Grade 4 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea occurred during RT. Red-cell transfusions were given to two patients to maintain hemoglobin levels >10 g/dL. Grade 4 cytopenia requiring growth factor support occurred in only one patient; no other significant cytopenias were noted. WAP-IMRT resulted in 25% lower radiation doses to the lumbosacral vertebral bodies and pelvic bones than conventional RT plans. The median time to local or distant failure after WAP-IMRT was 8.73 months in seven patients. One patient who had completed RT 20 months before the last follow-up remains alive without evidence of disease. Five patients (63%) experienced treatment failure in the abdomen. Distant failure occurred in three patients (37.5%).WAP-IMRT with concurrent radiosensitizing chemotherapy was well tolerated after aggressive surgery for DSCRT. Enhanced bone sparing with IMRT probably accounts for the low hematologic toxicity (vs. conventional WAP-RT). This modality should be considered as an additional local-regional control option for DSRCT.
