Surgical resection for recurrent retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas (STS) include a number of histologies but are rare, with approximately 3000 cases in the USA per year. Retroperitoneal STS have a high incidence of local and distant recurrence. The purpose of this study was to review the University of Maryland Medical Center's (UMMC) treatment experience of retroperitoneal STS, where the patient population served represents a diverse socioeconomic and ethnic catchment. METHODS:IRB approval was obtained. We constructed a de-identified database of patients diagnosed with retroperitoneal liposarcomas (LPS) or leiomyosarcomas (LMS) treated at UMMC between 2000 and 2013. A total of 49 patients (Pts) with retroperitoneal STS met our eligibility criteria. Kaplan-Meier plots were used to graphically portray progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The log-rank test was used to compare time-to-event distributions. RESULTS:The median OS for all patients (Pts) was 6.3 years, and the 2-year OS rate was 81%. The median PFS for all Pts was 1.8 years, and the 2-year PFS rate was 45%. There was no difference in OS and PFS among LMS and LPS patients; the median OS for LMS was 3.8 years vs. LPS 6.4 years (p?=?0.33), and the median PFS for LMS was 1.2 years vs. LPS 2.5 years (p?=?0.28). There was a significant difference between histology and race (p?=?0.001). LPS were primarily Caucasian 86% vs. 14% black, whereas LMS were primarily black 52% vs. 33% Caucasian. OS was influenced by functional status, gender, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage, grade, histology, tumor size, and extent of resection. PFS was influenced by AJCC stage, grade, and extent of resection. Neither adjuvant chemotherapy (1 Pt) nor neoadjuvant/adjuvant radiation therapy (18 Pts) influenced OS or PFS. There was a non-significant difference that Pts who could undergo resection of local recurrence had improved 2-year OS, with 100% LMS and LPS compared to 2-year OS of 71% (LMS) and 78% (LPS) not undergoing resection of local recurrence. CONCLUSIONS:This study suggests a higher incidence of leiomyosarcoma in the African-American population. This study confirms the prognostic importance of grade, tumor size, AJCC stage, histology, and extent of resection in patient outcomes, at a large substantially diverse academic medical center. Future research into the biological features of liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma Pts imparting these characteristics will be important to define.

Project description:BackgroundRetroperitoneal liposarcoma (RLS) is a rare but severe disease. Repeated postoperative recurrence with multiple tumors is a therapeutic dilemma. The clinical outcomes and survival predictors of recurrent RLS with multiple tumors remain to be explored.MethodsPatients with recurrent RLS were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed to find independent prognostic factors that were correlated with Overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS). Factors significant in univariate analysis were further included into multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model. The nomogram model was built to predict the survival status of patients. Variables that were significant in multivariable analysis were added to the internally validated nomogram models. The analysis of OS and PFS was performed by Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test.ResultsA total of 113 recurrent RLS patients with multiple tumors were enrolled in the study. The 1-, 3-, and 5-years OS (PFS) rates were 70.7% (76.1%), 35.9% (76.1%), and 30.9% (76.1%), respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that number of surgeries, resection methods, tumor size, status of pathological differentiation, pathological subtypes, and recurrence patterns were important prognostic factors for OS or PFS (each p < 0.05). Nomogram models were established to efficiently predict the prognostic status of patients. Patients with the local recurrence (LR) pattern had a poor prognosis and would derive no survival benefit from combined organ resection and R0/R1 resection (each p < 0.05).ConclusionRLS patients recurrence with multiple tumors had a poor prognosis. Those patients should be followed up more frequently after surgery. The strategies of aggressive resection may not improve the survival of patients with LR pattern in the retroperitoneum. Prognostic factors in the efficient nomogram models should be considered in the individualized clinical management of recurrent RLS with multiple tumors.

Project description:Background Surgery is the main treatment for recurrent retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLS). The aim of the present study was to explore the factors associated with blood loss during surgery for recurrent RPLS. Methods This retrospective study included patients with first recurrence of RPLS who were treated at our hospital between January 2015 and December 2019. Factors associated with intraoperative blood loss were identified by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were conducted to evaluate whether tumor size and number of tumor-containing abdominal/pelvic zones were predictive of the need for blood transfusion. Results The study included 67 cases. The number of zones containing tumors was 1 in 4 cases (6%), 2 in 36 cases (53.7%), 3 in 14 cases (20.9%), and 4 in 13 cases (19.4%). Tumor size was associated with blood loss >500 mL [odds ratio (OR): 1.153, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.051–1.266, P=0.003]. The number of tumor-containing zones was associated with blood loss >1,000 mL (OR: 3.161, 95% CI: 1.248–8.003, P=0.015) and >1,500 mL (OR: 2.674, 95% CI: 1.061–6.739, P=0.037). Multiple tumors were associated with blood loss >2,000 mL (OR: 3.161, 95% CI: 1.092–13.133, P=0.036) and >2,500 mL (OR: 2.674, 95% CI: 1.243–16.299, P=0.022). Tumor dedifferentiation was associated with blood loss >1,000 mL (OR: 4.802, 95% CI: 1.287–17.916, P=0.019) and >1,500 mL (OR: 9.249, 95% CI: 1.927–44.39, P=0.005). ROC curve analysis showed that tumor size >15.25 cm [area under the ROC curve (AUC): 0.772, P<0.001] and the number of tumor-containing zones >2.5 (AUC: 0.670; P=0.023) were predictive of the need for blood transfusion. Conclusions The main finding of the present study was that a larger tumor size, a larger number of tumor-containing zones, multiple tumors, and dedifferentiation were independently associated with a larger volume of intraoperative blood loss in patients with recurrent RPLS. The tumor size >15.25 cm and the tumor area >2.5 areas predicted the need for blood transfusion. Formulating the intraoperative blood transfusion plan for recurrent RPLS, it is necessary to pay attention to two spatial factors, tumor size and affected area, rather than one of them.
