[PMID: 38153106 PMCID: PMC11219179 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000002934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diffuse-type tenosynovial giant-cell tumor (D-TGCT), formerly known as pigmented villonodular synovitis, is a rare, locally aggressive, invasive soft tissue tumor that primarily occurs in the knee. Surgical excision is the main treatment option, but there is a high recurrence rate. Arthroscopic surgical techniques are emphasized because they are less traumatic and offer faster postoperative recovery, but detailed reports on arthroscopic techniques and outcomes of D-TGCT in large cohorts are still lacking. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) What is the recurrence rate of knee D-TGCT after multiportal arthroscopic synovectomy? (2) What are the complications, knee ROM, pain score, and patient-reported outcomes for patients, and do they differ between patients with and without recurrence? (3) What factors are associated with recurrence after arthroscopic treatment in patients with D-TGCT? METHODS In this single-center, retrospective study conducted between January 2010 and April 2021, we treated 295 patients with knee D-TGCTs. We considered patients undergoing initial surgical treatment with multiportal arthroscopic synovectomy as potentially eligible. Based on that, 27% (81 of 295) of patients were excluded because of recurrence after synovectomy performed at another institution. Of the 214 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 17% (36 of 214) were lost to follow-up, leaving 83% (178 of 214) of patients in the analysis. Twenty-eight percent (50 of 178) of patients were men and 72% (128 of 178) were women, with a median (range) age of 36 years (7 to 69). The median follow-up duration was 80 months (26 to 149). All patients underwent multiportal (anterior and posterior approaches) arthroscopic synovectomy, and all surgical protocols were determined by discussion among four surgeons after preoperative MRI. A combined open posterior incision was used for patients with lesions that invaded or surrounded the blood vessels and nerves or invaded the muscle space extraarticularly. Standard postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy was recommended for all patients with D-TGCT who had extraarticular and posterior compartment invasion; for patients with only anterior compartment invasion, radiotherapy was recommended for severe cases as assessed by the surgeons and radiologists based on preoperative MRI and intraoperative descriptions. Postoperative recurrence at 5 years was calculated using a Kaplan-Meier survivorship estimator. The WOMAC score (0 to 96, with higher scores representing a worse outcome; minimum clinically important difference [MCID] 8.5), the Lysholm knee score (0 to 100, with higher scores being better knee function; MCID 25.4), the VAS for pain (0 to 10, with higher scores representing more pain; MCID 2.46), and knee ROM were used to evaluate functional outcomes. Because we did not have preoperative patient-reported outcomes scores, we present data on the proportion of patients who achieved the patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS) for each of those outcome metrics, which were 14.6 of 96 points on the WOMAC, 52.5 of 100 points on the Lysholm, and 2.32 of 10 points on the VAS. RESULTS The symptomatic or radiographically documented recurrence at 5 years was 12% (95% confidence interval [CI] 7% to 17%) using the Kaplan-Meier estimator, with a mean recurrence time of 33 ± 19 months. Of these, three were asymptomatic recurrences found during regular MRI reviews, and the remaining 19 underwent repeat surgery. There was one intraoperative complication (vascular injury) with no effect on postoperative limb function and eight patients with postoperative joint stiffness, seven of whom improved with prolonged rehabilitation and one with manipulation under anesthesia. No postradiotherapy complications were found. The proportion of patients who achieved the preestablished PASS was 99% (176 of 178) for the VAS pain score, 97% (173 of 178) for the WOMAC score, and 100% (178 of 178) for the Lysholm score. A lower percentage of patients with recurrence achieved the PASS for WOMAC score than patients without recurrence (86% [19] versus 99% [154], OR 0.08 [95% CI 0.01 to 0.52]; p = 0.01), whereas no difference was found in the percentage of VAS score (95% [21] versus 99% [155], OR 0.14 [95% CI 0.01 to 2.25]; p = 0.23) or Lysholm score (100% [22] versus 100% [156], OR 1 [95% CI 1 to 1]; p = 0.99). Moreover, patients in the recurrence group showed worse knee flexion (median 135° [100° to 135°] versus median 135° [80° to 135°]; difference of medians 0°; p = 0.03), worse WOMAC score (median 3.5 [0 to 19] versus median 1 [0 to 29]; difference of medians 2.5; p = 0.01), and higher VAS pain score (median 1 [0 to 4] versus median 0 [0 to 4]; difference of medians 1; p < 0.01) than those in the nonrecurrence group, although no differences reached the MCID. No factors were associated with D-TGCT recurrence, including the use of postoperative radiotherapy, surgical technique, and invasion extent. CONCLUSION This single-center, large-cohort retrospective study confirmed that multiportal arthroscopic surgery can be used to treat knee D-TGCTs with a low recurrence rate, few complications, and satisfactory postoperative outcomes. Surgeons should conduct a thorough preoperative evaluation, meticulous arthroscopic synovectomy, and regular postoperative follow-up when treating patients with D-TGCT to reduce postoperative recurrence. Because the available evidence does not appear to fully support the use of postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy in all patients with D-TGCTs and our study design is inadequate to resolve this controversial issue, future studies should look for more appropriate indications for radiotherapy, such as planning based on a more precise classification of lesion invasion. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

[PMID: 36754646 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2023.01.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To propose a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prediction model for diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumors (D-TSGCTs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Anatomic locations were classified and then nodularity, margin, peripheral and internal hypointensity, and bone and cartilage involvement were evaluated on MRI. Student's t-test, chi-square test, diagnostic performance, logistic regression analysis, and decision tree were performed. RESULTS Nineteen intra-articular (11 localized; eight diffuse) and 55 extra-articular (44 localized; 11 diffuse) TSGCTs were included. Extra-articular D-TSGCTs showed significantly more frequent multinodular (72.7% vs. 25.0%, p = 0.009), and infiltrative lesions (90.9% vs. 34.1%, p = 0.002), without peripheral hypointensity (90.9% vs. 18.2%, p < 0.001), and contained granular internal hypointensity (72.7% vs. 31.8%; p = 0.003) with more frequent bone (81.8% vs. 27.3%; p = 0.003) and cartilage (50.0% vs. 0.0%; p = 0.038) involvement than localized-type. Intra-articular D-TSGCT also showed significance in all MRI features (100.0% vs. 9.1%, p = 0.001; 100.0% vs. 27.3%, p = 0.007; 100.0% vs. 36.4%, p = 0.018; 100.0% vs. 27.3%, p = 0.007; 50.0% vs. 0.0%, p = 0.038), except bone involvement (37.5% vs. 9.1%, p = 0.352) than localized-type. Cartilage involvement revealed the highest specificity (88.6-100.0%), regardless of location. Nodularity (100.0%; odds-ratio [OR]: 70.000) and peripheral hypointensity (90.9%; OR: 62.250) demonstrated the highest sensitivities ORs for D-TSGCT in intra-articular and extra-articular cases, respectively. MRI models for D-TSGCG beginning with the cartilage involvement in both anatomic locations and next on nodularity and peripheral hypointensity in intra-articular and extra-articular locations, respectively, exhibited sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 90.9% for intra-articular and 100% and 77.2% for extra-articular TSGCTs, respectively. CONCLUSION MRI can suggest the risk of D-TSGCT by combining imaging features with anatomic locations.

Unlocking the Power of Benchmarking: Real-World-Time Data Analysis for Enhanced Sarcoma Patient Outcomes. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:4395. [PMID: 37686671 PMCID: PMC10486409 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15174395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Benchmarking is crucial for healthcare providers to enhance quality and efficiency, notably for complex conditions like sarcomas. Multidisciplinary teams/sarcoma boards (MDT/SBs) are vital in sarcoma management, but differences in their processes can affect patient outcomes and treatment costs, despite adherence to international guidelines. To address this issue, this study aimed to compare two MDT/SBs and establish an interoperable digital platform, Sarconnector®, for real-time-world data assessment and automated analysis. The study included 983 patients, 46.0% of whom female, with a median age of 58 years, and 4.5% of patients presented with metastasis at diagnosis. Differences were observed in the number of first-time presentations, follow-up presentations, primary sarcomas, biopsies and chemotherapy indications between the two MDT/SB. The results highlight the importance of benchmarking and utilizing a harmonized data approach, such as the RWT approach provided by the Sarconnector®, to standardize and evaluate quality and cost metrics. By identifying areas of improvement and making data-driven decisions on the meta-level, healthcare providers can optimize resources and improve patient outcomes. In conclusion, benchmarking with the RWT harmonized data approach provided by the Sarconnector® can help healthcare providers improve the overall effectiveness of the healthcare system and achieve better outcomes for their patients in terms of both outcomes and costs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Tenosynovial giant cell tumor Observational Platform Project (TOPP) registry is an international prospective study that -previously described the impact of diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumour (D-TGCT) on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from a baseline snapshot. This analysis describes the impact of D-TGCT at 2-year follow-up based on treatment strategies. MATERIAL AND METHODS TOPP was conducted at 12 sites (EU: 10; US: 2). Captured PRO measurements assessed at baseline, 1-year, and 2-year follow-ups were Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Pain Interference, BPI Pain Severity, Worst Pain, EQ-5D-5L, Worst Stiffness, and -Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System. Treatment interventions were no current/planned treatment (Off-Treatment) and systemic treatment/surgery (On-Treatment). RESULTS A total of 176 patients (mean age: 43.5 years) were included in the full analysis set. For patients without active treatment strategy -(Off-Treatment) at baseline (n = 79), BPI Pain Interference (1.00 vs. 2.86) and BPI Pain Severity scores (1.50 vs. 3.00) were numerically favorable in patients remaining Off-Treatment compared with those who switched to an active treatment strategy at year 1. From 1-year to 2-year -follow-ups, patients who remained Off-Treatment had better BPI Pain Interference (0.57 vs. 2.57) and Worst Pain (2.0 vs. 4.5) scores compared with patients who switched to an alternative treatment strategy. In addition, EQ-5D VAS scores (80.0 vs. 65.0) were higher in patients who remained -Off-Treatment between 1-year and 2-year follow-ups compared with patients who changed treatment strategy. For patients receiving systemic treatment at baseline, numerically favorable scores were seen in patients remaining on systemic therapy at 1-year follow-up: BPI Pain Interference (2.79 vs. 5.93), BPI Pain Severity (3.63 vs. 6.38), Worst Pain (4.5 vs. 7.5), and Worst Stiffness (4.0 vs. 7.5). From 1-year to 2-year follow-up, EQ-5D VAS scores (77.5 vs. 65.0) were higher in patients who changed from systemic treatment to a different treatment strategy. CONCLUSION These findings highlight the impact D-TGCT has on patient quality of life, and how treatment strategies may be influenced by these outcome measures.

Abstract
Tenosynovial giant cell tumour (TGCT) is a rare, locally aggressive, mesenchymal tumor arising from the joints, bursa and tendon sheaths. TGCT comprises a nodular- and a diffuse-type, with the former exhibiting mostly indolent course and the latter a locally aggressive behavior. Although usually not life-threatening, TGCT may cause chronic pain and adversely impact function and quality of life (QoL). CSFR1 inhibitors are effective with benefit on symptoms and QoL but are not available in most countries. The degree of uncertainty in selecting the most appropriate therapy and the lack of guidelines on the clinical management of TGCT make the adoption of new treatments inconsistent across the world, with suboptimal outcomes for patients. A global consensus meeting was organized in June 2022, involving experts from several disciplines and patient representatives from SPAGN to define the best evidence-based practice for the optimal approach to TGCT and generate the recommendations presented herein.
