18-Year-Old Woman with an Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Uterus in Statu Nascendi.

ABSTRACT: Background: We report a case of an 18-year-old woman with an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in statu nascendi. Case: A fist-sized embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the uterus filling the vaginal vault was diagnosed in an adolescent with virgo intacta suffering from therapy resistant vaginal discharge, bleeding and bulging mass for six months. Further imaging revealed one suspicious pelvine lymph node. Excision of the tumour including the intracervical stalk was performed and followed by systemic multiagent chemotherapy. PET-CT scan presented a complete response after the third cycle. Histological complete response was shown by laparoscopic dissection of regional pelvic lymph nodes and curettage. Conclusion: Uterine Rhabdomyosarcoma should be considered as differential diagnosis of therapy resistant vaginal flour and bleeding in young women. Fertility-sparing therapy is possible in selected exceptional cases.

An 82-Year old woman with a palpable lymph node

Project description:An 82-year-old woman with a history of LD stage SCLC of her left upper lobe nine years earlier, had been treated with five cycles chemotherapy cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and etoposide (CDE)) resulting in a complete response. She received prophylactic cranial irradiation. Now she presented with a palpable mass in the right supra-clavicular fossa. Her further medical history revealed coronary vascular disease, for which she underwent PTCA; mild aortic valve stenosis and a pacemaker to treat a third degree AV block. She has NYHA class II. She had a history of cigarette smoking but she stopped when SCLC was diagnosed nine years ago. She had no dyspnea

Defining an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma endotype.

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common childhood soft-tissue sarcoma. The largest subtype of RMS is embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) and accounts for 53% of all RMS. ERMS typically occurs in the head and neck region, bladder, or reproductive organs and portends a promising prognosis when localized; however, when metastatic the 5-yr overall survival rate is ∼43%. The genomic landscape of ERMS demonstrates a range of putative driver mutations, and thus the recognition of the pathological mechanisms driving tumor maintenance should be critical for identifying effective targeted treatments at the level of the individual patients. Here, we report genomic, phenotypic, and bioinformatic analyses for a case of a 3-yr-old male who presented with bladder ERMS. Additionally, we use an unsupervised agglomerative clustering analysis of RNA and whole-exome sequencing data across ERMS and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) tumor samples to determine several major endotypes inferring potential targeted treatments for a spectrum of pediatric ERMS patient cases.

DNA methylation profiles of 30 tissues from a 112 year old woman

Project description:The main goal of the study was to measure the epigenetic age (also known as DNA methylation age) of these tissues. Toward this end, we used the epigenetic clock software described in Horvath S (n=2013) DNA methylation age of human tissues and cell types. Genome Biology.2013, 14:R115.

Refractory alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in an 11-year-old male.

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a mesenchymal malignancy phenocopying muscle and is among the leading causes of death from childhood cancer. Metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is the most aggressive subtype with an 8% 5-yr disease-free survival rate when a chromosomal fusion is present and a 29% 5-yr disease-free survival rate when negative for a fusion event. The underlying biology of PAX-fusion-negative alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma remains largely unexplored and is exceedingly rare in Li-Fraumeni syndrome patients. Here, we present the case of an 11-yr-old male with fusion-negative alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma studied at end of life with a comprehensive functional genomics characterization, resulting in identification of potential therapeutic targets for broader investigation.

Targeting oxidative stress in embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma is a soft-tissue sarcoma with molecular and cellular features of developing skeletal muscle. Rhabdomyosarcoma has two major histologic subtypes, embryonal and alveolar, each with distinct clinical, molecular, and genetic features. Genomic analysis shows that embryonal tumors have more structural and copy number variations than alveolar tumors. Mutations in the RAS/NF1 pathway are significantly associated with intermediate- and high-risk embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas (ERMS). In contrast, alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas (ARMS) have fewer genetic lesions overall and no known recurrently mutated cancer consensus genes. To identify therapeutics for ERMS, we developed and characterized orthotopic xenografts of tumors that were sequenced in our study. High-throughput screening of primary cultures derived from those xenografts identified oxidative stress as a pathway of therapeutic relevance for ERMS.
