Circulating Tumor DNA Is Associated with Response and Survival in Patients with Advanced Leiomyosarcoma. Clin Cancer Res 2022; 28:2579-2586. [PMID: 35561344 PMCID: PMC9359745 DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-21-3951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2021] [Revised: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE We sought to determine whether the detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in samples of patients undergoing chemotherapy for advanced leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is associated with objective response or survival. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Using ultra-low-passage whole-genome sequencing (ULP-WGS) of plasma cell-free DNA from patients treated on a prospective clinical trial, we tested whether detection of ctDNA evaluated prior to the start of therapy and after two cycles of chemotherapy was associated with treatment response and outcome. Associations between detection of ctDNA and pathologic measures of disease burden were evaluated. RESULTS We found that ctDNA was detectable by ULP-WGS in 49% patients prior to treatment and in 24.6% patients after two cycles of chemotherapy. Detection of pretreatment ctDNA was significantly associated with a lower overall survival [HR, 1.55; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.03-2.31; P = 0.03] and a significantly lower likelihood of objective response [odds ratio (OR), 0.21; 95% CI, 0.06-0.59; P = 0.005]. After two cycles of chemotherapy, patients who continued to have detectable levels of ctDNA experienced a significantly worse overall survival (HR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1-3.14; P = 0.05) and were unlikely to experience an objective response (OR, 0.05; 95% CI, 0-0.39; P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that detection of ctDNA is associated with outcome and objective response to chemotherapy in patients with advanced LMS. These results suggest that liquid biopsy assays could be used to inform treatment decisions by recognizing patients who are likely and unlikely to benefit from chemotherapy.

Abstract
A 58-year-old man who underwent lower lobectomy of the right lung for primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma (PPL) 4 years ago presented with epigastric pain and was diagnosed with small bowel intussusception caused by an intestinal mass. Partial resection of the small intestine was performed, and pathological examination revealed metastatic leiomyosarcoma. Masses in the left adrenal gland, subcutaneous tissue of the left upper arm, right pleura, jejunum, right trapezius muscle, and right adrenal gland were subsequently detected in the following 4 years. Resection was performed for each tumor, which was histologically confirmed as metastatic leiomyosarcoma. However, 1 month after the last surgery, multiple systemic metastases were found, thus, he is currently undergoing chemotherapy. The patient has been alive for 8 years and 4 months after the first operation for PPL. PPL is an extremely rare disease with no established treatment strategy for recurrences. Aggressive metastasectomy may be beneficial in selected cases.

Abstract
Uterine leiomyosarcoma (UL) is a rare malignant tumor that develops from the uterine smooth muscle tissue. Due to the low frequency and lack of sufficient data from clinical trials there is currently no effective treatment that is routinely accepted for UL. Here we report a case of a 65-years-old female patient with metastatic UL, who progressed on ifosfamide and doxorubicin therapy and developed severe hypertensive crisis after administration of second line pazopanib, which lead to treatment termination. Rapid progression of the tumor stressed the need for the alternative treatment options. We performed RNA sequencing and whole exome sequencing profiling of the patient's biopsy and applied Oncobox bioinformatic algorithm to prioritize targeted therapeutics. No clinically relevant mutations associated with drug efficiencies were found, but the Oncobox transcriptome analysis predicted regorafenib as the most effective targeted treatment option. Regorafenib administration resulted in a complete metabolic response which lasted for 10 months. In addition, RNA sequencing analysis revealed a novel cancer fusion transcript of YWHAE gene with fusion partner JAZF1. Several chimeric transcripts for YWHAE and JAZF1 genes were previously found in uterine neoplasms and some of them were associated with tumor prognosis. However, their combination was detected in this study for the first time. Taken together, these findings evidence that RNA sequencing may complement analysis of clinically relevant mutations and enhance management of oncological patients by suggesting putative treatment options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uterine leiomyosarcomas are rare malignant mesenchymal tumors. The systemic treatment of these tumors includes chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, there are still a lot of unanswered questions regarding the ideal therapeutic approach. METHODS We have conducted a systematic review of the treatment strategies of uterine leiomyosarcomas for the last ten years. RESULTS Adjuvant chemotherapy is still a matter of dilemma. Doxorubicin based chemotherapy or the combination of Gemcitabine-Docetaxel are the regimens of choice for the first line setting. Beyond the first line, there are several options;, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and recently efforts of introducing immunotherapy to the therapeutic armamentarium of clinicians treating uterine leiomyosarcomas. CONCLUSIONS Despite the efforts of the clinicians dealing with uterine leiomyosarcomas, the optimal therapeutic algorithm is yet to be described.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic metastasis of soft tissue sarcoma is rare compared to lung metastasis, and the literature is scarce. We examined the risk of hepatic metastasis according to the site of occurrence and histological type. METHODS From a Hospital-based Cancer Registry, 658 patients registered between 2007 and 2017 with soft tissue sarcomas were evaluated. The exclusion criteria were gastrointestinal stromal tumors, tumors of unknown origin, and follow-up periods of less than 1 month. SPSS 25 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The risk of hepatic metastasis was significantly higher in the retroperitoneum (HR, 5.981; 95% CI, 2.793-12.808) and leiomyosarcoma (HR, 4.303; 95% CI, 1.782-10.390). Multivariate analysis showed that the risk of hepatic metastasis as first distant metastasis was high in leiomyosarcoma (HR, 4.546; 95% CI, 2.275-9.086) and retroperitoneal onset (HR, 4.588; 95% CI, 2.280-9.231). The 2-year survival rate after hepatic metastasis was 21.7%. CONCLUSIONS The onset of hepatic metastasis indicates a poor prognosis. However, hepatic metastasis from retroperitoneal sarcoma and leiomyosarcoma may be the first distant metastasis in some cases. For retroperitoneal sarcoma and leiomyosarcoma, additional screening for hepatic metastasis such as contrast CT should be considered during staging and follow-up after treatment.

Abstract
Background Primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor. We herein report a case of primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma that was completely resected by surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Case presentation A 60-year-old man presented with cough. Chest computed tomography showed an 11-cm mass in the right upper lobe of the lung that had invaded the superior vena cava. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration revealed leiomyosarcoma of the lung. We considered complete resection of the tumor to be very difficult because of the tumor invasion into the right atrium inflow of the superior vena cava, so we performed chemotherapy using doxorubicin for five cycles. After chemotherapy, the tumor size decreased to 5.6 cm, and we performed right upper lobectomy with combined resection of the superior vena cava. The tumor was completely resected by surgery. The patient is alive without recurrence 17 months postoperatively. Conclusions We encountered a case of primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma that was successfully treated by surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Doxorubicin monotherapy was effective in this case. Surgery combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy should be considered for such cases, as a long-term survival can be achieved by complete resection of primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma.
