Feasibility and Toxicity of Interval-Compressed Chemotherapy in Asian Children and Young Adults with Sarcoma. J Pers Med 2023; 13:jpm13040668. [PMID: 37109054 PMCID: PMC10146212 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13040668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2023] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Twelve Asian patients with sarcoma received interval-compressed (ic-) chemotherapy scheduled every 14 days with a regimen of vincristine (2 mg/m2), doxorubicin (75 mg/m2), and cyclophosphamide (1200-2200 mg/m2) (VDC) alternating with a regimen of ifosfamide (9000 mg/m2) and etoposide (500 mg/m2) (IE), with filgrastim (5-10 mcg/kg/day) between cycles. Carboplatin (800 mg/m2) was added for CIC-rearranged sarcoma. The patients were treated with 129 cycles of ic-VDC/IE with a median interval of 19 days (interquartile range [IQR], 15-24 days. Median nadirs (IQR) were neutrophil count, 134 (30-396) × 106/L at day 11 (10-12), recovery by day 15 (14-17) and platelet count, 35 (23-83) × 109/L at day 11 (10-13), recovery by day 17 (14-21). Fever and bacteremia were observed in 36% and 8% of cycles, respectively. The diagnoses were Ewing sarcoma (6), rhabdomyosarcoma (3), myoepithelial carcinoma (1), malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (1), and CIC-DUX4 Sarcoma (1). Seven of the nine patients with measurable tumors responded (one CR and six PR). Interval-compressed chemotherapy is feasible in the treatment of Asian children and young adults with sarcomas.

Abstract
Ovarian teratoid carcinosarcoma involves an epithelial tumor of the Müllerian duct and an immature neuroepithelium, which is a characteristic of immature teratomas. Here, we describe the case of a 60-year-old woman who underwent surgery for a stage IC3 ovarian malignancy. The tumor showed a variety of histological features, including clear cell carcinoma, immature teratoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma, and a PIK3CA mutation was detected at the same locus in each. Two months after surgery and before the start of chemotherapy, multiple bone and liver metastases were found. Four courses of combination therapy with vincristine, actinomycin D and cyclophosphamide, the standard chemotherapy regimen for pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma, were administered, and a complete response was achieved. After a 2-month rest period, the patient developed recurrent peritoneal dissemination and underwent 6 courses of paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab chemotherapy, resulting in a partial response. This is the eighth reported case of ovarian teratoid carcinosarcoma. This tumor has a very aggressive course, but initially responds to chemotherapy. However, survival over 5 years has not been reported, and elucidation of the pathogenesis and development of new treatment methods are needed.

Successful treatment of relapsed testicular embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma with Endostar and traditional chemotherapy: a case report. Onco Targets Ther 2018; 11:5287-5291.

Abstract
Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) has a low prevalence, poor prognosis, and limited treatment efficacy. We report a case of an 18-year-old male whose disease relapsed in the abdominal cavity after a testicular ERMS curative resection. The patient received eight sequential cycles of rescue therapy using cisplatin and isocyclophosphamide in combination with a vascular targeted drug, Endostar. The therapeutic effect of the combination regimen has been evaluated for complete response. This is the first case to report using Endostar and chemotherapy in relapsed ERMS, and the curative effect results in complete response. Endostar, a new vascular targeted drug, combined with chemotherapy may play a synergistic role and provide a reference for the treatment of ERMS.

World J Surg Oncol 2005; 3:20. [PMID: 15836792 PMCID: PMC1087896 DOI: 10.1186/1477-7819-3-20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2004] [Accepted: 04/18/2005] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Soft tissue sarcomas comprise less than 1% of all solid malignancies. The presentation and behavior of these tumors differs depending on location and histological characteristics. Standard therapy consists of complete surgical resection in combination with adjuvant radiotherapy. The role of chemotherapy is not clearly defined and is largely restricted to clinical trials. Only a limited number of agents have proved to be effective in soft tissue sarcomas. The use of doxorubicin, epirubicin and ifosfamide allowed response rates of more than 20%. In addition, recent chemotherapy trials did not demonstrate any significant differences in efficacy for various histological subtypes. METHODS: The objective of this study was to gain additional information about the chemosensitivity of soft tissue sarcomas to seven 7 different chemotherapy agents as single drugs and 4 combinations. Therefore we used an established ATP based in-vitro testing system and examined 50 soft tissue sarcomas. Chemosensitivity was assessed using a luciferin-luciferase-based luminescence assay providing individual chemosensitivity indices for each agent tested. RESULTS: The sensitivity varied widely according to the histological subtypes. The tumors state of cellular dedifferentiation played a crucial role for the efficiency of the chemotherapeutic agents. The sensitivity also depended on the presentation of the sarcoma as a primary or recurrent tumor. The highest sensitivity was demonstrated for actinomycin D as a single agent, with 74% of the tumor samples exhibiting a high-grade sensitivity (20% low sensitivity, no resistance). The combination of actinomycin D and ifosfamide yielded a high sensitivity in 76% (2% resistance). Doxorubicin as a mono-therapy or in combination with ifosfamide achieved high sensitivity in 70% and 72%, respectively, and resistance in 6% of the samples. CONCLUSION: Chemosensitivity testing is feasible in soft tissue sarcomas. It can be used to create sensitivity and resistance profiles of established and new cytotoxic agents and their combinations in soft tissue sarcomas. Our data demonstrate measurable discrepancies of the drug efficiency in soft tissue sarcomas, sarcoma subtypes and tumor recurrencies. However, current therapeutic regime does not take this in consideration, yet.
