Favorable clinical efficacy of cytotoxic chemotherapy in patients with progressive desmoid tumors: a retrospective real-world study. Int J Clin Oncol 2024; 29:853-861. [PMID: 38526622 DOI: 10.1007/s10147-024-02506-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The real-world evidence about the efficacy of cytotoxic chemotherapy in desmoid tumors is still limited. We investigated the efficacy of chemotherapy in the treatment of recurrent or progressive desmoid tumors. METHODS The patients with desmoid tumors who had received cytotoxic chemotherapy between November 2007 and June 2020 in two tertiary hospitals in Korea were reviewed. RESULTS A total of 25 patients were included in the analysis. The most common primary tumor site was the intra-abdominal or pelvic cavity (56%), followed by the trunk and abdominal wall (24%), extremities (16%), and head and neck (4%). Sixty percent of the patients had familial adenomatous polyposis and 76% received doxorubicin plus dacarbazine. The objective response rate and disease control rate was 64% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 40.7-82.8) and 96% (95% CI: 77.2-99.9), respectively. With the median follow-up time of 55 months (95% CI: 41.0-68.2), the 3-year PFS rate was 65% (95% CI: 41.1-80.5), and the 3-year OS rate was 89% (95% CI: 63.8-97.3). Grade 3 or 4 hematologic adverse events were reported in 14 patients, all of which were manageable. CONCLUSION Our real-world evidence suggests that doxorubicin-based cytotoxic chemotherapy can be an effective treatment option for recurrent and progressive desmoid tumors with respect to favorable clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Desmoid tumors (DT) are rare, slow-growing, locally invasive soft tissue tumors that often pose significant therapeutic challenges. Traditional management strategies including active surveillance, surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic therapy which are associated with varying recurrence rates and high morbidity. Given the challenging nature of DT and the modest outcomes associated with current treatment strategies, there has been a growing interest in the field of γ-secretase inhibitors as a result of its action on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In this review article, we will shed the light on the pathogenesis and molecular biology of DT, discuss its symptoms and diagnosis, and provide a comprehensive review of the traditional therapeutic approaches. We will also delve into the mechanisms of action of γ-secretase inhibitors, its efficacy, and the existing preclinical and clinical data available to date on the use of these agents, as well as the potential challenges and future prospects in the treatment landscape of these tumors.

Abstract
Extra-abdominal desmoid-type fibromatosis (EADTF) is a rare neoplastic condition of monoclonal fibroblastic proliferation characterized by local aggressiveness with a distinct tendency to recur. Although EADTF is a benign disease entity, these tumors have a tendency to infiltrate surrounding normal tissues, making it difficult to completely eliminate them without adjacent healthy tissue injury. Surgical excision of these locally aggressive tumors without clear resection margins often leads to local recurrence. The aim of this thorough review was to assess the current treatment concepts for these rare tumors. A comprehensive search of articles published in the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (PubMed), and EMBASE databases between January 2008 and February 2023 was conducted. Surgical intervention is no longer the first-line approach for most cases; instead, strategies like active surveillance or systemic therapies are used as initial treatment options. With the exception of EADTFs situated near vital structures, a minimum of 6-12 months of active surveillance is currently advocated for, during which some disease progression may be considered acceptable. Non-surgical interventions such as radiation or cryoablation may be employed in certain patients to achieve local control. The currently preferred systemic treatment options include tyrosine kinase inhibitors, low-dose chemotherapy, and gamma-secretase inhibitors, while hormone therapy is not advised. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are utilized primarily for pain management.

Abstract
Locally aggressive mesenchymal tumors comprise a heterogeneous group of soft tissue and bone tumors with intermediate histology, incompletely understood biology, and highly variable natural history. Despite having a limited to absent ability to metastasize and excellent survival prognosis, locally aggressive mesenchymal tumors can be symptomatic, require prolonged and repeat treatments including surgery and chemotherapy, and can severely impact patients' quality of life. The management of locally aggressive tumors has evolved over the years with a focus on minimizing morbid treatments. Extensive oncologic surgeries and radiation are pillars of care for high grade sarcomas, however, play a more limited role in management of locally aggressive mesenchymal tumors, due to propensity for local recurrence despite resection, and the risk of transformation to a higher-grade entity following radiation. Patients should ideally be evaluated in specialized sarcoma centers that can coordinate complex multimodal decision-making, taking into consideration the individual patient's clinical presentation and history, as well as any available prognostic factors into customizing therapy. In this review, we aim to discuss the biology, clinical management, and future treatment frontiers for three representative locally aggressive mesenchymal tumors: desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF), tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TSGCT) and giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB). These entities challenge clinicians with their unpredictable behavior and responses to treatment, and still lack a well-defined standard of care despite recent progress with newly approved or promising experimental drugs.

Abstract
Mesenchymal breast tumors are a rare and diverse group of tumors that present some of the most challenging cases for multidisciplinary breast cancer teams. As a result of overlapping morphologies and a lack of large-scale studies on these tumors, practices are often heterogeneous and slow to evolve. Herein, we present a non-systematic review that focuses on progress, or lack thereof, in the field of mesenchymal breast tumors. We focus on tumors originating from fibroblastic/myofibroblastic cells and tumors originating from less common cellular origins (smooth muscle, neural tissue, adipose tissue, vascular tissue, etc.).

Abstract
We report a case of a relatively large desmoid fibromatosis that responded completely to tamoxifen as a single drug therapy. A 47-year-old Japanese man underwent laparoscopy-assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection for a duodenal polyp. He developed postoperative generalized peritonitis and underwent an emergency laparotomy. Sixteen months after the surgery, a subcutaneous mass was found on the abdominal wall. Biopsy of the mass revealed estrogen receptor alpha-negative desmoid fibromatosis. The patient underwent total tumor resection. Two years after the initial surgery, he was found to have multiple intra-abdominal masses, with the largest mass measuring 8 cm in diameter. Biopsy revealed fibromatosis, as in the case of the subcutaneous mass. Complete resection was impossible due to the proximity of the duodenum and superior mesenteric artery. Tamoxifen was administered for three years, resulting in complete regression of the masses. No recurrence was observed for the following three years. This case indicates that relatively large desmoid fibromatosis can be successfully treated with a selective estrogen receptor modulator alone and that its effect is not dependent on the estrogen receptor alpha status of the tumor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Desmoid tumor (DT) is rare and challenging, often affects the head and neck (HN) region in children, and its appropriate treatments are under-discussed. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of 125 I seed brachytherapy for pediatric DT in HN. PROCEDURE Seven pediatric patients with a median age of three years who suffered from DT in HN treated with 125 I brachytherapy from January 2008 to June 2018 were included. Among these, five underwent sole brachytherapy and the others combined with surgery under prescription doses ranging from 10,000 to 12,000 cGy. The rate of local control (LC), complete response (CR), and partial response (PR) was calculated after evaluation by radiological and pathological means. Radiation-associated toxicities were also evaluated. RESULTS The LC rate was 7/7 during the follow-up time ranging from 43 to 135 months and with a mean of 57 months. No recurrent lesion was found in the patients receiving surgery combined with brachytherapy. In patients treated with sole brachytherapy, the radiological PR rate and CR rate were 4/5 and 1/5, respectively. In those reaching radiological PR, 3/4 were pathological CR. Slight acute radiation-associated toxicities were observed in all patients, and no late or severe acute toxicity was observed. CONCLUSION 125 I brachytherapy is effective and safe in the management of pediatric DT in HN as the sole modality or combined with surgery in the long term.

Abstract
Desmoid fibromatosis is a rare, benign, locally aggressive fibroblastic proliferation that may occur in almost any anatomical location. Due to its rarity and unpredictable clinical course, there has not been a standard guideline of treatment. We encountered a case of desmoid fibromatosis in our centre. A young lady previously fit and well was referred for a symptomatic, rapidly growing left sided abdominal mass. Otherwise, she denied any bowel related symptoms or constitutional manifestation. Imaging demonstrated a large well-defined lobulated solid-cystic mass extending from vertebral level T10 to L5, measuring 10.5 cm × 15 cm × 23 cm. The mass was in close proximity with the left adrenal gland, left kidney, pancreas and spleen. Ultrasound guided biopsy interpreted it as a fibroblastic or myelofibroblastic tumour, favouring desmoid fibromatosis. Surgery was then performed where the mass was removed along with the left adrenal gland and kidney. Post-operative care was complicated with pulmonary embolism, hospital-acquired pneumonia and pancreatitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of both hormonal contraception and pregnancy on the outcomes of desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) is debatable. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, we selected female patients of childbearing age from the prospective ALTITUDES cohort. The primary study endpoint was event-free survival (EFS), with an event defined as relapse or progression. We estimated the risk of events according to the use of hormonal contraception [estrogen-progestin (EP) and progestin] and pregnancy status using multivariate time-dependent models, controlling for major confounders. RESULTS A total of 242 patients (median age, 34.7 years) were included in the present study. The abdominal wall was the most common tumor site (51%). Patients were managed by active surveillance (80%) or surgery (20%). Pregnancy occurred within 24 months before, at the time of, and after DF diagnosis in 33%, 5%, and 10% of the cases, respectively. Exposure to hormonal contraception was documented within 24 months before, at the time of, and after diagnosis in 44%, 34%, and 39% of the cases, respectively. The 2-year EFS was 75%. After adjusting for DF location, tumor size, front-line treatment strategy, and hormonal contraception, we observed an increased risk of events occurring at 24 months after pregnancy [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.09, P = 0.018]. We observed no statistically significant association between the risk of events and current EP exposure (HR = 1.28, P = 0.65), recent EP exposure (within 1-24 months, HR = 1.38, P = 0.39), current progestin exposure (HR = 0.81, P = 0.66), or recent progestin exposure (HR = 1.05, P = 0.91). CONCLUSIONS In our study, a recent history of pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of progression/relapse in patients with newly diagnosed DF, whereas hormonal contraception did not demonstrate an association with progression/relapse.

Abstract
Desmoid tumors are rare soft tissue tumors that can have aggressive infiltrative growth and relapse locally. Desmoid tumors can impact functionality and cause treatment-related morbidity and mortality. Here, the authors review current management strategies and avenues for further investigation. As part of the evolution of therapy away from primary surgical approaches to less invasive options, image-guided ablation has been accepted as less morbid and include cryoablation and high-intensity focused ultrasound. Systemic therapy options currently include hormonal agents, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and anthracycline-based regimens. Hormonal agents and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have benign side effect profiles but generally limited efficacy. Anthracycline-based therapies are limited by the risk of secondary malignancies and cardiomyopathy. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are well studied, and sorafenib is now one of the most utilized therapies, though limited by its side effect profile. Nirogacestat (PF-0308401) is an investigational small molecule gamma-secretase (GS) inhibitor that has demonstrated efficacy in phase 1 and II trials. A phase III trial investigating patients with desmoid tumors or aggressive fibromatosis is estimated to be completed December 2021 (NCT03785964). In addition to nirogacestat, the gamma-secretase inhibitor AL102 is being investigated for the treatment of patients with progressing desmoid tumors in the phase II/III RINGSIDE trial. Finally, the beta-catenin inhibitor Tegavivint (BC2059) is being investigated in a phase 1 open-label trial in patients with a proven primary or recurrent desmoid tumor that is unresectable and symptomatic or progressive.

Abstract
BackgroundDesmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare clonal proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. It develops in the connective tissues and does not metastasize but may infiltrate adjacent structures. Because of the rarity of these tumors and the unpredictable natural history of the disease, well-defined and precise guidelines of the optimal treatment for DF have not been formulated.Case PresentationHere, we present a giant abdominal DF that invaded the right spermatic cord and iliac vessels. The lesion was excised with external iliac artery dissection; however, the vein was sacrificed. The abdominal wall defect was then repaired with a polypropylene mesh. The lesional cells are positive for β-catenin.ConclusionsIn the past decades, there has been a change in the treatment of DF. The “wait and see” policy has been considered initially in most cases. Surgical intervention remains a valid option for symptomatic lesions. The optimal regimes of the tumor should not take the risk of making the patient more symptomatic than the lesion itself.

Abstract
Introduction Desmoid tumor is a locally-invasive neoplasm that causes significant morbidity. There is recent interest in cryotherapy for treatment of extra-abdominal desmoid tumors. This systematic review assesses evidence on safety and efficacy of cryotherapy in the treatment of extra-abdominal desmoid tumors. Materials and methods The systematic review was conducted with reference to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Literature search was performed using MEDLINE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. 9 full text papers were reviewed and meta-analysis was performed for measures of safety, efficacy and symptom relief. Results The estimated pooled proportion of major and minor complications was 4.2% (95% CI, 1.8–9.6; I 2 = 0%) and 10.2% (95% CI, 5.7–17.8; I 2 = 0%) respectively. The estimated pooled proportion of non-progressive disease rate of all studies was 85.8% (95% CI, 73.4–93.0; I 2 = 32.9%). The estimated progression free survival rate at 1 year was 84.5% (95% CI:74.6–95.8) and 78.0% at 3 years (95% CI: 63.8–95.3). As for pain control, the estimated pooled proportion of patients with decrease in visual analogue scale (VAS) > = 3 for those with VAS > = 3 before treatment for 2 studies was 87.5% (95% CI, 0.06–100; I 2 = 71.5%) while 37.5% to 96.9% of patients were reported to have experienced partial or complete symptom relief in the other studies. Conclusion Cryotherapy is a safe and effective treatment modality for extra-abdominal desmoid tumors with efficacy similar to those treated with traditional strategies in the short to medium term.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) is a rare tumor that develops in the limbs, abdominal wall, and abdominal cavity. It is accounting for less than 3% of soft-tissue sarcomas and less than 0.03% of all neoplasms. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 57-year-old man was diagnosed as acute peritonitis due to intra-abdominal tumor rupture. Since his systematic symptoms were relatively stable, gastrointestinal perforation was ruled out, the differential diagnosis of the tumor itself was difficult, and it was unclear resectable by emergency surgery, we started conservative treatment. After examinations, ileocolectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed spindle cells with collagenous fiber hyperplasia and immunohistochemical staining for β-catenin was positive, so we made a diagnosis of mesenteric desmoid-type fibromatosis (MDF). DISCUSSION The mechanism of DF development is suggested to be associated with hereditary diseases, mechanical stimuli, and a history of exposure to radiation appear to be involved as pathogenetic factors in sporadic development. Surgical resection is the first-line treatment for MDF, but the postoperative high local recurrence rate is problematic. Drug therapy and radiation therapy are selected for cases in which radical resection is not possible or for recurrent cases. However, the number of examined cases is small and sufficient evidence has not been accumulated for most treatment strategies, it is expected that the optimal treatment at the time of recurrence will be further verified by the accumulation of MDF. CONCLUSION There are few reports of peritonitis caused by MDF rupture; emergency surgery can be avoided.

Abdominal Desmoid: Course, Severe Outcomes, and Unique Genetic Background in a Large Local Series. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13153673. [PMID: 34359575 PMCID: PMC8345061 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13153673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2021] [Revised: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Abdominal desmoids are rare fibroblastic tumors. Though these tumors do not display metastatic potential, their locally aggressive nature can cause severe outcomes. Most cases appear sporadically, but 5–15% are associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndrome. Current consensus recommendations do not offer a standard sequence of therapy due to the lack of data for some treatment options. Here, we present an ongoing clinical experience with abdominal desmoids. The majority of our patients suffered severe outcomes such as need for surgery or major tumor complications. A small, but unique group of 16 non-FAP mesenteric desmoid was found to harbor genetic alterations in cancer associated genes other than APC, including CHEK2, BLM, ERCC5, MSH6, and PALB2. Abstract Introduction: Abdominal desmoid tumors are locally aggressive tumors that develop in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients, within the mesentery or abdominal wall. The understanding and implications of the treatment regimens are evolving. Aim: To assess the course, treatment, and outcomes of FAP and non-FAP abdominal desmoids and their related genetic alterations. Methods: Retrospective cohort study. Demographics, tumor characteristics, oncological and surgical history, complications, genetic-testing, and mortality data were retrieved from two tertiary referral centers. Results: Sixty-two patients were identified (46 FAP and 16 non-FAP). Thirty-eight patients (61.3%) underwent surgical procedures (12 urgent and 26 elective). Out of 33 tumor resections, 39.4% recurred. Hormonal therapy, COX-inhibitors, chemotherapy, imatinib, and sorafenib were used in 35 (56.4%), 30 (48.4%), 18 (29.1%), 7 (11.3%), and 8 (12.9%) of patients, respectively, with a 2 year progression-free survival of 67.8%, 57.7%, 38.4%, and 28.5%, respectively. Forty-one patients (66.1%) suffered complications: bowel obstruction (30.6%), hyperalimentation (14.5%), ureteral obstruction (12.9%), perforation (11.3%), abscess formation (3.2%), and spinal cord compression (3.2%). Non-FAP patients carried pathogenic mutations in CHEK2, BLM, ERCC5, MSH6, and PALB2. Conclusions: Abdominal desmoids are mostly FAP-related and are associated with severe outcomes. We also report a group of non-FAP abdominal desmoids, which includes patients with additional cancer-related gene alterations. This interesting group should be further explored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate changes in volume and MRI T2-weighted intensity in desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) receiving methotrexate plus vinca-alkaloids (MTX-VA) at Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milan. METHODS All cases of sporadic DF treated with MTX-VA from 1999 to 2019 were reviewed. MRIs at baseline, 6 and 12 months of chemotherapy and at treatment withdrawal were retrospectively reviewed, contouring the tumor lesion and measuring diameters, volume, and mean T2-signal intensity (normalized to muscle) changes. These parameters were also evaluated according to clinical variables. RESULTS Thirty-two DF patients were identified. Best RECIST response was: 25% partial response, 69% stable disease, 6% progression. A ≥65% tumor volume reduction was observed in 38%, <65% reduction in 53%, an increase in 9%. 22% had RECIST stable disease with a ≥65% tumor volume reduction. T2-signal intensity decreased by ≥50% in 47%, <50% in 41% and increased in 12%. In patients with symptomatic improvement while on therapy and in patients maintaining symptomatic improvement during follow-up, median T2-signal intensity showed a reduction along the time points (3.0, 1.9, 1.2, 1.1; 2.9, 2.0, 1.2, 1.2, respectively); in patients without symptomatic improvement and in those clinically progressing during follow-up, a reduction was not observed. High T2-signal intensity at baseline was observed in patients showing RECIST progression during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS In this series, RECIST detected a lower proportion of responses as compared to volumetric and T2-signal changes. T2-signal reduction seemed to better reflect symptomatic improvement. High T2-signal intensity at baseline was related to a higher proportion of further progression.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the efficacy and safety of cryoablation in patients with desmoid tumors (DTs) retrospectively over a 10-year period at a single institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between February 25, 2010, and February 25, 2020, 25 patients (age, 12-80 years) with 26 lesions (mean preprocedural tumor volume was 237 cm3) were treated over 44 cryoablation procedures. Eleven patients were treated with first-line therapy. Fourteen patients had previous medical therapy, radiotherapy, and/or surgery. Subsequent clinical follow-up, imaging outcomes, and safety were analyzed for technical success, change in total lesion volume (TLV) and viable tumor volume (VTV), modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST), progression-free survival (PFS) for tumor progression and symptom recurrence, symptom improvement, and procedure-related complications. Symptomatic improvement was defined as documentation of relief of pain (partial or complete) and/or functional impairment. RESULTS All procedures were technically successful. At 7-12 months, median changes in TLV and VTV were -6.7% (P = .809) and -43.7% (P = .01), respectively. At 10-12 months, the mRECIST responses were complete response, 0%; partial response, 61.5% (8/13); stable disease, 30.8% (4/13); and progressive disease, 7.7% (1/13). The median PFS for tumor progression and symptom recurrence were not reached, with a median follow-up of 15.3 and 21.0 months, respectively. Symptomatic relief (partial or complete) was achieved in 96.9% (32/33) of patients. One major complication was noted (2.4%). CONCLUSIONS In this retrospectively identified cohort, cryoablation was effective and safe for the local control of extra-abdominal DTs in short-term follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a locally aggressive clonal neoplasm with locally aggressive behavior and no metastatic potential. Historical treatment of DF has consisted primarily of up-front surgery when feasible. In recent years, recognition that DF can spontaneously stabilize or involute has allowed for many patients to be managed with watchful waiting rather than intervention. This review is intended to review recent developments in the treatment of DF. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies have demonstrated prospectively that patients with DF often have improvement in their lesions without intervention, enabling an initial period of surveillance as a standard option for patients with mild symptoms. Given the lengthening list of effective systemic treatments, including sorafenib, pazopanib, and experimental agents, there has been a less reliance on local therapies for those patients who require treatment. For patients with DF that require treatment, there is a growing list of options that includes radiation therapy (RT), percutaneous ablation, and a growing list of systemic agents with favorable toxicity profiles.

Abstract
PURPOSE Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a locally aggressive connective-tissue tumor arising in deep soft tissues. Although multiple therapeutic modalities have been demonstrated effective for DF, there is no standard systemic treatment for progressive and recurrent DF. As a part of systemic treatment, tyrosine kinase inhibitors have shown promising activity against DF with tolerable toxicity profiles. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib, a novel multi-target angiogenesis inhibitor, in patients with DF. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients with advanced extremity DF regularly treated with apatinib between October 2017 and January 2020 in our center. Apatinib was initially administered with a dose of 250 mg daily and the dose was adjusted according to the toxicity. Tumor response was assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 criteria. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); objective response rates and drug-related adverse events were also evaluated. RESULTS A total of 22 (6 male, 16 female) patients with advanced extremity DF were included. The mean medication time was 17 months. None of the patients reached a complete response, but ten (45.5%) patients achieved partial response, and 11 patients (50%) achieved stable disease. One (4.5%) patient developed progressive disease, and the 1-year PFS rate was 95.2%. The disease control rate was 95.4% (21/22) and the objective response rate was 45.5% (10/22). Meanwhile, 18 (81.8%) patients with a tumor shrinkage were accompanied by a decreased signal intensity of lesions in T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. The most frequent adverse events included hand-foot syndrome (n = 7, 31.8%), fatigue (n = 6, 27.2%), local pain (n = 4, 18.1%), diarrhea (n = 4, 18.1%). CONCLUSION Apatinib is an effective and well-tolerated option for patients with advanced extremity DF. Indeed, further prospective, randomized studies with larger cases are required to fully explore the clinical utility of apatinib in DF.

Abstract
Previous studies have not clearly identified a prognostic factor for desmoid tumours (DT). Whole-exome sequencing (WES) and/or RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) were performed in 64 cases of DT to investigate the molecular profiles in combination with the clinicopathological characteristics. CTNNB1 mutations with specific hotspots were identified in 56 cases (87.5%). A copy number loss in chromosome 6 (chr6) was identified in 14 cases (21.9%). Clustering based on the mRNA expression profiles was predictive of the patients' prognoses. The risk score generated by the expression of a three-gene set (IFI6, LGMN, and CKLF) was a strong prognostic marker for recurrence-free survival (RFS) in our cohort. In risk groups stratified by the expression of IFI6, the hazard ratio for recurrence-free survival in the high-risk group relative to the low-risk group was 12.12 (95% confidence interval: 1.56-94.2; p = 8.0 × 106). In conclusion, CTNNB1 mutations and a chr6 copy number loss are likely the causative mutations underlying the tumorigenesis of DT while the gene expression profiles may help to differentiate patients who would be good candidates for wait-and-see management and those who might benefit from additional systemic or radiation therapies.

Drug Des Devel Ther 2020; 14:3941-3950. [PMID: 33061299 PMCID: PMC7524188 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s271008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 09/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is an aggressive fibroblastic neoplasm with a high propensity for local recurrence. Although multiple therapeutic modalities seem effective for DF, the standard systemic treatment for symptomatic and progressive DF remains controversial. As targeted therapy, tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been recently reported to contribute to the treatment of DF. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of anlotinib, a novel multi-kinase angiogenesis inhibitor, in patients with DF. Patients and Methods We retrospectively collected the clinical medical records of patients with extremity DF who received anlotinib between January 2019 and January 2020 in our center. Anlotinib was started with a dose of 8 mg daily and adjusted according to the drug-related toxicity. Tumor response was assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 criteria. Progression-free survival (PFS) was identified as the primary endpoint and analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method. Results In total, 21 (6 male, 15 female) consecutive patients with DF were enrolled. The median medication time was nine months (Q1, Q3: 7.5, 10.5). None of the patients achieved a complete response, but eight (38.1%) patients achieved a partial response and ten patients (47.6%) achieved disease stability. Three (14%) patients developed progressive disease and the 3-, 6-, and 12-month PFS rates were 95.2%, 90.5%, and 84.0%, respectively. The disease control rate was 86.0% (18/21) and the objective response rate was 38.1% (8/21). Moreover, 15/21 (71.4%) patients achieved a reduction in tumor size, accompanied with a decrease in T2-weighted signal intensity on magnetic resonance imaging and clinical benefit. Conclusion Anlotinib was effective against DF with an acceptable safety profile, and significantly slowed the disease progression. Further, multicenter studies with a longer follow-up time are needed to characterize fully the clinical application of anlotinib in DF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mainstay of the treatment for desmoid-type fibromatoses has been shifting from surgery to drug treatment, making accurate prediction of the efficacy of drug treatment of extreme importance. On the other hand, desmoid-type fibromatoses arise everywhere in the body. The purpose of this systematic review was to address the clinical question of whether tumour location has an impact on the efficacy of drug treatment. METHODS A literature search from January 1990 to August 2017 was conducted. Four reviewers independently assessed and screened the literature for eligibility and determined the final articles. They rated each report according to the Grading of Recommendations Development and Evaluation approach. Based on the quality of 'Body of Evidence', our clinical guideline committee developed a recommendation for the clinical question. RESULTS In total, 128 articles were extracted. After the screenings, 5 were chosen for the final evaluation. The drugs used in these articles were one each of toremifene, sorafenib, and methotrexate and vinblastine and of meloxicam. There were no randomized controlled trials, and two prospective and three retrospective case series were included. Therapeutic effects were observed slightly more markedly in extremity using meloxicam or methotrexate and vinblastine. In contrast, the efficacy of toremifene was slightly higher in non-extremity. However, the evidence level of all of the reports was judged to be low. CONCLUSIONS Considering the low evidence level, we concluded that the site-specific therapeutic effects of drugs could not be confirmed in desmoid-type fibromatoses.

Abstract
The desmoid tumor is a locally aggressive proliferative disease within the family of soft-tissue sarcomas. Despite its relatively good prognosis, the clinical management of desmoid tumors requires constant multidisciplinary evaluation due to its highly variable clinical behavior. Recently, active surveillance has being regarded as the appropriate strategy at diagnosis, as indolent persistence or spontaneous regressions are not uncommon. Here, we review the most recent advances in desmoid tumor therapy, including low-dose chemotherapy and treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We also explore the recent improvements in our knowledge of the molecular biology of this disease, which are leading to clinical trials with targeted agents.

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment methods for intra-abdominal aggressive fibromatosis. Methods: We reviewed the clinical data from 16 patients who were diagnosed with intra-abdominal aggressive fibromatosis and were admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital between March 1983 and September 2018. Results: Among the 16 patients, 11 patients presented with a hard smooth abdominal mass with clear borders and a diameter of 4.3–25.0 cm. Six patients had a history of abdominal surgery and 3 patients had a history of familial adenomatous polyposis. Computed tomography imaging revealed a slightly dense mass with mild-to-moderate enhancement. Of all the 16 patients, 11 patients underwent surgical treatment and no recurrence occurred in 10 case after complete resection while recurrence occurred in 1 case after partial resection. Two patients underwent surveillance and 3 patients received cytotoxic drugs treatment, and no disease progression was observed via imaging during their follow-up. Conclusions: Intra-abdominal aggressive fibromatosis is histologically benign tumor with high local recurrence rate. Surgery is an effective treatment and complete resection is essential in reducing the local recurrence rate.

Abstract
Soft-tissue sarcoma (sts) represents a heterogeneous group of rare tumours, and a significant number of affected patients will develop metastatic disease. Outcomes in the population with metastatic disease are generally poor, especially after progression on standard chemotherapy. The advent of personalized medicine has permitted oncologists to offer targeted treatment, thus addressing the limited treatment options and poor prognosis after progression on first-line chemotherapy. In this review, we delineate the existing data and therapeutic successes with respect to existing and emerging molecular targets in sts and options for immunotherapy in sts. Our review also summarizes emerging clinical trials that are currently recruiting patients.

Abstract
Desmoid tumor (DT; other synonymously used terms: Desmoid-type fibromatosis, aggressive fibromatosis) is a rare and locally aggressive monoclonal, fibroblastic proliferation characterised by a variable and often unpredictable clinical course. Previously surgery was the standard primary treatment modality; however, in recent years a paradigm shift towards a more conservative management has been introduced and an effort to harmonise the strategy amongst clinicians has been made. We present herein an evidence-based, joint global consensus guideline approach to the management of this disease focussing on: molecular genetics, indications for an active treatment, and available systemic therapeutic options. This paper follows a one-day consensus meeting held in Milan, Italy, in June 2018 under the auspices of the European Reference Network for rare solid adult cancers, EURACAN, the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma Group (STBSG) as well as Sarcoma Patients EuroNet (SPAEN) and The Desmoid tumour Research Foundation (DTRF). The meeting brought together over 50 adult and pediatric sarcoma experts from different disciplines, patients and patient advocates from Europe, North America and Japan.

Abstract
We report the case of a 55-year-old man with a surgical history of distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction performed 3 years prior to the present episode. During the follow-up, a newly developed, rapidly growing intraabdominal mass was detected in the mesentery of the small intestine. Although the patient had been asymptomatic, surgical resection was planned with the suspicion of malignancy, especially lymph node recurrence of the gastric cancer, owing to its rapid growth. Laparotomy showed that the tumor was located in the mesentery of the small intestine near the Roux-en-Y limb, and due to the involvement of the feeding vessels to the Roux-en-Y limb, the anastomotic site was resected en bloc with the tumor, and the whole Roux-en-Y limb was reconstructed. The histopathological finding was compatible with desmoid-type fibromatosis of the mesentery of the small intestine. Here we report our case and discuss the previously reported literature, especially related to gastric cancer.

Abstract
Desmoid tumors are locally invasive sarcoma, affecting 5-6 individuals out of 1,000,000 per year. The desmoid tumors have high rates of recurrence after resection and can lead to significant deterioration of the quality of life of patients. There is a need for a better understanding of the desmoid tumors' patient experience from first symptoms through diagnosis, disease monitoring, and clinical treatment options. With the National Organization of Rare Disorders, the Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation Natural History Study was designed to be collected through the registry. This article describes the protocol for the Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation Natural History Study and some initial findings. The Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation Natural History Study Advisory Committee developed a series of questionnaires and longitudinal surveys, in addition to those from the National Organization of Rare Disorders for all of the rare diseases. These 13 surveys are designed to uncover initial symptoms, diagnosis process, disease monitoring, quality of life, treatments, as well as socioeconomic information. Since launching the Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation Registry and Natural History Study (https://dtrf.iamrare.org), more than 300 desmoid tumor patients have consented to the Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation Natural History Study and completed the Participant Profile. The majority of the respondents are between the ages of 21 and 50 years (76%), female (81.2%), White (91.5%), and live in the United States (47.1%). The majority of tumors are in the lower or upper extremity, (22.9%) followed closely by abdominal desmoid tumors (21.5%). Most are willing to donate specimens (89.9%) and participate in trials (97.2%). Ongoing efforts are addressing the demographic differences between the respondents and non-respondents and any selection bias based on access to the registry and study. The Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation Natural History Study is built on the largest desmoid tumors registry and has recruited more desmoid tumors participants since launching in September 2017. It will serve to fill desmoid tumors knowledge gaps and assist other researchers in their recruitment efforts for additional studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to determine the clinical significance of MRI characteristics as a possible predictor of responsiveness to meloxicam treatment in patients with desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF). Additionally, it analysed the correlation between CTNNB1 mutation status and signal intensity of MRI. METHODS Forty-six patients consecutively treated with meloxicam composed this study. The low-intensity area (LIA) on T2-weighted MRI was determined. We divided patients into two groups based on the efficacy of meloxicam: a clinical benefit group (CB group, including CR: complete response; PR: partial response; and SD: stable disease) and non-clinical benefit group (NB group, including PD: progressive disease). Correlations of the efficacy with LIA and CTNNB1 mutation status with LIA were investigated. RESULTS In total, 11, 17 and 18 patients showed PR, SD and PD, respectively. The mean LIA ratio before treatment was significantly higher (P < 0.001) in the CB group than in the NB group. For predicting the efficacy, sensitivity was 68%, and specificity was 89% when setting the cut-off value as 20% for LIA. Mean changes in the LIA ratio before and after treatment were significantly higher (P = 0.01) in the CB group than in the NB group. Mean LIA ratio before treatment was significantly lower (P < 0.001) in the S45F mutation group than in the other mutation group. In multivariate analysis, the LIA ratio before treatment was a significant predictor of responsiveness (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS MRI characteristics were a useful predictor of the efficacy of meloxicam in DF patients. It may be possible to predict the clinical outcome more accurately when combined with other factors, such as CTNNB1 mutantion status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) presents a therapeutic dilemma. While lacking metastatic potential, it is a locally aggressive tumor with a strong propensity for occurrence near nerve(s) and recurrence following resection. In this study, the authors introduce the association of an occult neuromuscular choristoma (NMC) identified in patients with DTF. METHODS After experiencing a case of DTF found to have an occult NMC, the authors performed a retrospective database review of all other cases of biopsy-proven DTF involving the extremities or limb girdles in patients with available MRI data. Two musculoskeletal radiologists with expertise in peripheral nerve imaging reviewed the MRI studies of the eligible cases for evidence of previously unrecognized NMC. RESULTS The initial case of a patient with an occult sciatic NMC is described. The database review yielded 40 patients with DTF-18 (45%) in the upper limb and 22 (55%) in the lower limb. Two cases (5%) had MRI findings of NMC associated with the DTF, one in the proximal sciatic nerve and the other in the proximal tibial and sural nerves. CONCLUSIONS The coexistence of NMC may be under-recognized in a subset of patients with extremity DTF. This finding poses implications for DTF treatment and the likelihood of recurrence after resection or biopsy. Further study may reveal crucial links between the pathogenesis of NMC and DTF and offer novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Background Desmoid tumors are rare locally invasive, benign neoplasms that develop along aponeurotic structures. Current treatment is complicated by associated morbidity and high recurrence rates. Methods A retrospective, single‐institution review identified 23 patients (age: 16‐77) with extra‐abdominal desmoid tumors who received CT‐guided percutaneous cryoablation as either a first‐line (61%) or salvage (39%) treatment in 30 sessions between 2014 and 2018. Median maximal lesion diameter was 69 mm (range: 11‐209). Intent was curative in 52% and palliative in 48%. Contrast‐enhanced cross‐sectional imaging was obtained before and after treatment in addition to routine clinical follow‐up. Results Technical success was achieved in all patients. The median follow‐up was 15.4 months (3.5‐43.4). Symptomatic improvement was demonstrated in 89% of patients. At 12 months, the average change in viable volume was −80% (range −100% to + 10%) and response by modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST) was CR 36%, PR 36%, and SD 28% No rapid postablation growth or track seeding was observed. Four patients underwent repeat cryoablation for either residual or recurrent disease. Two patients sustained a major procedural complication consisting of significant neuropraxia. Conclusion Cryoablation for desmoid tumors demonstrates a high degree of symptom improvement and local tumor control on early follow‐up imaging with relatively low morbidity.

Abstract
Desmoid tumors, which are often estrogen-dependent, frequently develop in surgical wounds. Here we report the case of 33-year-old woman with a 4-cm solid mass detected in her left adnexal area. She had previously undergone a laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis at age 29 years and had been using a combined oral contraceptive (COC) to prevent recurrence. The mass was diagnosed as a uterine myoma on the basis of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist therapy for 3 months resulted in shrinkage of the tumor. Using a second laparoscopy, we identified a tumor originating from the sigmoid colon. The pathological diagnosis was desmoid tumor. Gynecologists should consider the possibility of desmoid tumor in patients who have been using COCs and undergone previous surgeries.

Abstract
Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) is a rare monoclonal fibroblastic proliferation that is characterized by locally infiltrative but rarely metastatic lesions. Tyrosine kinase and γ-secretase inhibitors are primarily used in the targeted therapy of DF. The use of these drugs, however, is mainly based on the recommendations of retrospective studies with small sample sizes. Previous studies that focused on the mechanism, efficacy, and safety of targeted therapy for DF were reviewed to provide references for clinical applications and research. The efficacy and safety of targeted therapy were compared with those of other systemic therapy options. Targeted therapy does not provide considerable advantages in efficacy and safety over other medical treatments and is usually applied after the failure of antihormonal therapies, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and chemotherapy. Further studies are required to explore the mechanism, indications, and appropriate drug dosage of the targeted therapy of DF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Desmoid tumors (also referred to as aggressive fibromatosis) are connective tissue neoplasms that can arise in any anatomical location and infiltrate the mesentery, neurovascular structures, and visceral organs. There is no standard of care. METHODS In this double-blind, phase 3 trial, we randomly assigned 87 patients with progressive, symptomatic, or recurrent desmoid tumors to receive either sorafenib (400-mg tablet once daily) or matching placebo. Crossover to the sorafenib group was permitted for patients in the placebo group who had disease progression. The primary end point was investigator-assessed progression-free survival; rates of objective response and adverse events were also evaluated. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 27.2 months, the 2-year progression-free survival rate was 81% (95% confidence interval [CI], 69 to 96) in the sorafenib group and 36% (95% CI, 22 to 57) in the placebo group (hazard ratio for progression or death, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.05 to 0.31; P<0.001). Before crossover, the objective response rate was 33% (95% CI, 20 to 48) in the sorafenib group and 20% (95% CI, 8 to 38) in the placebo group. The median time to an objective response among patients who had a response was 9.6 months (interquartile range, 6.6 to 16.7) in the sorafenib group and 13.3 months (interquartile range, 11.2 to 31.1) in the placebo group. The objective responses are ongoing. Among patients who received sorafenib, the most frequently reported adverse events were grade 1 or 2 events of rash (73%), fatigue (67%), hypertension (55%), and diarrhea (51%). CONCLUSIONS Among patients with progressive, refractory, or symptomatic desmoid tumors, sorafenib significantly prolonged progression-free survival and induced durable responses.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sporadic desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) is a rare, chronic, non-metastasising, disease of the soft tissues. It is characterised by local invasive and unpredictable growth behaviour and a high propensity of local recurrence after surgery thereby often having a great impact on health-related quality of life (HRQL). This study aims to review currently used HRQL measures and to asses HRQL issues among DTF patients. METHODS A mixed methods methodology was used consisting of (1) a systematic literature review, according to the PRISMA guidelines (2009), using search terms related to sporadic DTF and HRQL in commonly used databases (e.g. Embase, Medline Ovid, Web of science, Cochrane Central, Psyc Info, and Google scholar), to provide an overview of measures previously used to evaluate HRQL among DTF patients; (2) focus groups to gain insight into HRQL issues experienced by DTF patients. RESULTS The search strategy identified thirteen articles reporting HRQL measures using a wide variety of cancer-specific HRQL tools, functional scores, symptom scales (e.g. NRS), and single-item outcomes (e.g. pain and functional impairment). No DTF-specific HRQL tool was found. Qualitative analysis of three focus groups (6 males, 9 females) showed that participants emphasised the negative impact of DTF and/or its treatment on several HRQL domains. Six themes were identified: (1) diagnosis, (2) treatment, (3) follow-up and recurrence, (4) physical domain, (5) psychological and emotional domain, and (6) social domain. CONCLUSION A DTF-specific HRQL tool and consensus regarding the preferred measurement tool among DTF patients is lacking. Our study indicates that HRQL of DTF patients was negatively affected in several domains. A DTF-specific HRQL measure could improve our understanding of short- and long-term effects and, ideally, can be used in both clinic and for research purposes.

Abstract
Desmoid fibromatosis is a rare, neoplastic tumor known for its aggressive local invasion and recurrence after surgery. Tumors can occur sporadically or associated with familial adenomatous polyposis. We present 3 cases of desmoid fibromatosis postpancreatectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. All cases occurred within 3 years of diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, with subsequent extensive diagnostic work-up to rule out metastatic disease. No relationship between pancreatic cancer and desmoid fibromatosis is documented in the literature, with a postulated connection via mutations on the Wnt/APC/Beta-catenin pathway.

Abstract
Desmoid-type fibromatosis is a rare and locally aggressive monoclonal, fibroblastic proliferation characterized by a variable and often unpredictable clinical course. Currently, there is no established or evidence-based treatment approach available for this disease. Therefore, in 2015 the European Desmoid Working Group published a position paper giving recommendations on the treatment of this intriguing disease. Here, we present an update of this consensus approach based on professionals' AND patients' expertise following a round table meeting bringing together sarcoma experts from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma Group with patients and patient advocates from Sarcoma PAtients EuroNet. In this paper, we focus on new findings regarding the prognostic value of mutational analysis in desmoid-type fibromatosis patients and new systemic treatment options.

Aggressive fibromatosis response to tamoxifen: lack of correlation between MRI and symptomatic response. Clin Sarcoma Res 2018; 8:13. [PMID: 29785261 PMCID: PMC5950191 DOI: 10.1186/s13569-018-0100-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2018] [Accepted: 04/04/2018] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background One of the commonly used systemic agents for the treatment of aggressive fibromatosis is the anti-oestrogen drug tamoxifen. However, data on efficacy and optimum methods of response assessment are limited, consisting mainly of small case series and reports. Methods A retrospective database was used to identify consecutive patients diagnosed with aggressive fibromatosis (AF) and treated with tamoxifen plus/minus non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at our tertiary referral centre between 2007 and 2014. MRI and symptom changes were recorded. Results Thirty-two patients (13 male 19 female, median age 41 years) were included. Median duration of treatment with tamoxifen was 316 days. Of 9 patients with progressive disease by RECIST 1.1 (28%): 4 patients experienced worsening symptoms; 3 patients had improved symptoms and 2 had no change in symptoms. Of 22 patients with stable disease (69%): 11 had no change in symptoms; 6 had improved symptoms and 5 patients had worsening symptoms. One patient achieved a partial response with improved symptoms. Conclusions No relationship was identified between symptomatic benefit and response by RECIST 1.1 on MRI. Prospective studies in AF should incorporate endpoints focusing on patient symptoms.

Abstract
In this review, we highlight the complexities of the natural history, biology, and clinical management of three intermediate connective tissue tumors: desmoid tumor (DT) or aggressive fibromatosis, tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) or diffuse-type pigmented villonodular synovitis (dtPVNS), and giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB). Intermediate histologies include tumors of both soft tissue and bone origin and are locally aggressive and rarely metastatic. Some common aspects to these tumors are that they can be locally infiltrative and/or impinge on critical organs, which leads to disfigurement, pain, loss of function and mobility, neurovascular compromise, and occasionally life-threatening consequences, such as mesenteric, bowel, ureteral, and/or bladder obstruction. DT, PVNS, and GCTB have few and recurrent molecular aberrations but, paradoxically, can have variable natural histories. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended for optimal management. In DT and PVNS, a course of observation may be appropriate, and any intervention should be guided by symptoms and/or disease progression. A surgical approach should take into consideration the infiltrative nature, difficulty in obtaining wide margins, high recurrence rates, acute and chronic surgical morbidities, and impact on quality of life. There are similar concerns with radiation, which especially relate to optimal field and transformation to high-grade radiation-associated sarcomas. Systemic therapies must be considered carefully in light of acute and chronic toxicities. Although standard and novel therapies are promising, many unanswered questions, such as duration of therapy and optimal end points to evaluate efficacy of drugs in clinical practice and trials, exist. Predictive biomarkers and novel clinical trial end points, such as volumetric measurement, magnetic resonance imaging T2 weighted mapping, nuclear imaging, and patient-reported outcomes, are in development and will require validation in prospective trials.

Immunohistochemical staining with non-phospho β-catenin as a diagnostic and prognostic tool of COX-2 inhibitor therapy for patients with extra-peritoneal desmoid-type fibromatosis. Diagn Pathol 2017; 12:66. [PMID: 28851389 PMCID: PMC5576243 DOI: 10.1186/s13000-017-0654-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2017] [Accepted: 08/15/2017] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Immunohistochemical staining with conventional anti-β-catenin antibody has been applied as a diagnostic tool for desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF). This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of immunohistochemical staining with anti-non-phospho β-catenin antibody, which might more accurately reflect the aggressiveness of DF, in comparison to the conventional anti-β-catenin antibody. Methods Between 2003 and 2015, 40 patients with extra-peritoneal sporadic DF were prospectively treated with meloxicam or celecoxib, a COX-2 inhibitor, therapy. The efficacy of this treatment was evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Immunohistochemical staining was performed on formalin-fixed material to evaluate the expression of β-catenin and non-phospho β-catenin, and the positivity was grouped as negative, weak, moderate, and strong. DNA was isolated from frozen tissue or formalin-fixed materials, and the CTNNB1 mutation status was determined by direct sequencing. Results Of the 40 patients receiving COX-2 inhibitor treatment, there was one with complete remission, 12 with partial remission, 7 with stable disease, and 20 with progressive disease. The mutation sites in CTNNB1 were detected in 22 (55%) of the 40 cases: T41A (17 cases), S45F (3 cases), and T41I and S45P (1 each). The positive nuclear expression of non-phospho β-catenin showed a significant correlation with positive CTNNB1 mutation status detected by Sanger method (p = 0.025), and poor outcome in COX-2 inhibitor therapy (p = 0.022). In contrast, nuclear expression of β-catenin did not show a significant correlation with either CTNNB1 mutation status (p = 0.43) or outcome of COX-2 inhibitor therapy (p = 0.38). Conclusions Nuclear expression of non-phospho β-catenin might more appropriately reflect the biological behavior of DF, and immunohistochemical staining with non-phospho β-catenin could serve as a more useful diagnostic and prognostic tool of COX-2 inhibitor therapy for patients with DF.

Abstract
PURPOSE Today, surgery and radiation therapy have a limited role in desmoid-type fibromatosis. Different systemic treatments were shown to be effective. Herein, we report on our institutional experience with low-dose methotrexate (MTX) + vinca alkaloids in this disease over the last 25 years. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data from all adult patients with sporadic desmoid-type fibromatosis treated with MTX and vinca alkaloids at our institution between 1989 and 2014. RESULTS We identified 75 patients treated with MTX + vinblastine (40%), MTX + vinorelbine (57%), and vinorelbine alone (3%). All patients had progressive disease before chemotherapy; 72%, 10%, and 48% of patients had received previous surgery, radiation therapy, and/or systemic treatments, respectively. Chemotherapy was administered for a median duration of 14 months and a median number of 37.5 cycles. Eight patients interrupted chemotherapy because of toxicity. According to RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) complete response, partial response, stable disease, and progressive disease were observed in 1%, 47%, 51%, and 1% of patients, respectively. Symptomatic relief was obtained in 80% of symptomatic cases. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 75 months; it was 136 months in responding patients. Upon progression, after chemotherapy withdrawal, MTX plus vinblastine/vinorelbine was offered to 11 patients with partial response, stable disease, and progressive disease in 4, 6, and 1 cases, resulting in a median PFS of 53 months. CONCLUSIONS In this series, chemotherapy with MTX and vinca alkaloids is confirmed to be active and effective, with a remarkable PFS, higher in responding patients, and limited toxicity. Even progression can be successfully rechallenged.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical, radiological and histological factors that can predict local recurrence of fibromatosis. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 51 patients diagnosed with fibromatosis in this hospital from 1983 to 2014. The mean follow-up was 83 months. A study was made of the clinical parameters, location, depth, size, surgical margins, and proliferation index (Ki-67). An evaluation was also made of the risk of recurrence depending on the adjuvant treatment and the relationship between treatment and patient functionality. RESULTS Tumour location and depth were identified as risk factors for local recurrence, showing statistically significant differences (P<.001 and P=.003, respectively). There were no statistically significant differences in age, gender, size, surgical margins, or adjuvant treatments, or in the Musculoskeletal Tumour Society Score according to the treatment received. The mean Ki-67 was 1.9% (range 1-4), and its value was not associated with the risk of recurrence. DISCUSSION Deep fibromatosis fascia tumours, and those located in extremities are more aggressive than superficial tumours and those located in trunk. The Ki-67 has no predictive value in local recurrence of fibromatosis. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or other adjuvant treatments such as tamoxifen have not been effective in local control of the disease. Given the high recurrence rate, even with adequate margins, a wait and see attitude should be considered in asymptomatic patients and/or stable disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Desmoid tumours of the head and neck in children are rare, local invasive and potentially fatal tumours. The purpose of this review is to discuss the management of these tumours in the light of a case series and a review of the literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study summarised the medical data of children treated for desmoid tumours of the head and neck between 1976 and 2014. RESULTS Five of the 6 children were treated by radical surgical resection, with positive surgical margins (R1) in 2 cases, followed by recurrence requiring further resection. One child with a very advanced lesion was treated by weekly methotrexate and vinorelbine chemotherapy for 18months, allowing 93% reduction of tumour volume without recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Desmoid tumours of the head and neck in children are more aggressive than their adult counterparts and are associated with high morbidity and mortality and a high recurrence rate. CT and MRI imaging assessment should preferably be performed before biopsy. External beam radiotherapy must be avoided in children as it is less effective than in adults, and is responsible for long-term cosmetic and functional sequelae and even a risk of second tumours. Treatment is surgical whenever radical resection is possible. In patients presenting an excessive risk of morbidity and mortality, chemotherapy devoid of long-term adverse effects (such as methotrexate in combination with a Vinca alkaloid) can be proposed. Long-term follow-up must be ensured due to the risk of recurrence.
