Abstract
This paper offers an insight into the use of Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) in paediatric patients with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the literature, investigating comparative photon-proton dosimetry, outcome, and toxicity. In the complex and multimodal scenario of the treatment of RMS, clear evidence of the therapeutic superiority of PBT compared to other modern photon techniques has not yet been demonstrated; however, PBT can be considered an excellent treatment option, in particular for young children and patients with specific primary sites, such as the head and neck area (and especially the parameningeal regions), genito-urinary, pelvic, and paravertebral regions. The unique depth-dose characteristics of protons can be exploited to achieve significant reductions in normal tissue doses and may allow an escalation of tumour doses and greater sparing of normal tissues, thus potentially improving local control while at the same time reducing toxicity and improving quality of life. However, access of children with RMS (and more in general with solid tumors) to PBT remains a challenge, due to the limited number of available proton therapy installations.

Efficacy and safety of proton beam therapy for rhabdomyosarcoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Radiat Oncol 2023; 18:31. [PMID: 36805784 PMCID: PMC9942395 DOI: 10.1186/s13014-023-02223-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate and conduct a meta-analysis on the efficacy and safety of proton beam therapy (PBT) for rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). METHODS We searched for articles using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases from their inception to December 22, 2022. Two researchers independently screened literature and extracted data. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA version 14.0. RESULTS We got 675 candidate articles, of which 11 studies were included in our study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of the 544 RMS patients who received PBT. The local control (LC) rate at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years were 96% (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.91-1.01), 93% (95% CI 0.86-1.00), 78% (95% CI 0.71-0.85), 85% (95% CI 0.78-0.92), and 84% (95% CI 0.74-0.95), respectively. The progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years were 82% (95% CI 0.72-0.92), 73% (95% CI 0.61-0.84), 63% (95% CI 0.47-0.79), 64% (95% CI 0.54-0.74), and 76% (95% CI 0.59-0.94), respectively. The overall survival (OS) rate at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years were 93% (95% CI 0.86-1.00), 85% (95% CI 0.76-0.95), 80% (95% CI 0.63-0.96), 71% (95% CI 0.62-0.80), and 82% (95% CI 0.71-0.94), respectively. Acute and late toxicities were mainly grades 1 to 2 in all studies. CONCLUSION As an advantageous RT technique, PBT is an emerging option for patients with RMS, particularly children and adolescents patients. The data showed that PBT is a feasible, safe, and effective modality for RMS, showing promising LC, OS, PFS, and lower acute and late toxicities. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42022329154.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review aimed to identify the molecular alterations of head and neck rhabdomyosarcomas (HNRMS) and their prognostic values. STUDY DESIGN An electronic search was performed using PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science with a designed search strategy. Inclusion criteria comprised cases of primary HNRMS with an established histopathological diagnosis and molecular analysis. Forty-nine studies were included and were appraised for methodological quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools. Five studies were selected for meta-analysis. RESULTS HNRMS predominantly affects pediatric patients (44.4%), and the parameningeal region (57.7%) is the most common location. The alveolar variant (43.2%) predominates over the embryonal and spindle cell/sclerosing types, followed by the epithelioid and pleomorphic variants. PAX-FOXO1 fusion was observed in 103 cases of alveolar RMS (79.8%). MYOD1 mutation was found in 39 cases of sclerosing/spindle cell RMS (53.4%). FUS/EWSR1-TFCP2 gene fusions were identified in 21 cases of RMS with epithelioid and spindle cell morphologies (95.5%). The 5-year overall survival rate of patients was 61.3%, and MYOD1 mutation correlated with significantly higher mortality. CONCLUSION The genotypic profile of histologic variants of HNRMS is widely variable, and MYOD1 mutation could be a potential prognostic factor, but more studies are required to establish this.

Local control of parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma: An expert consensus guideline from the International Soft Tissue Sarcoma Consortium (INSTRuCT). Pediatr Blood Cancer 2022; 69:e29751.

Abstract
The International Soft Tissue Sarcoma Database Consortium (INSTRuCT) consists of a collaboration between the Children's Oncology Group (COG) Soft Tissue Sarcoma Committee, the European pediatric Soft Tissue Sarcoma Study Group (EpSSG), and the Cooperative Weichteilsarkom Studiengruppe (CWS). As part of the larger initiative of INSTRuCT to provide consensus expert opinions for clinical treatment of pediatric soft tissue sarcoma, we sought to provide updated, evidenced-based consensus guidelines for local treatment of parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma using both existing literature as well as recommendations from the relevant cooperative group clinical trials. Overall, parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma represents a distinctly challenging disease to treat, given its location near many critical structures in the head and neck, frequently advanced local presentation, and predilection for local failure. Definitive chemoradiation remains the standard treatment approach for parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma, with surgery often limited to biopsy or salvage therapy for recurrent disease. In this consensus paper, we specifically discuss consensus guidelines and evidence for definitive local management with radiotherapy, with a focus on imaging for radiotherapy planning, dose and timing of radiation, approach for nodal irradiation, various radiation techniques, including proton therapy, and the limited role of surgical resection.

Abstract
PURPOSE Primary central nervous system (CNS) rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor predominantly seen in children and associated with a poor outcome. We report a case of primary CNS rhabdomyosarcoma with PAX3-NCOA2 fusion and present a systematic meta-review of primary CNS rhabdomyosarcoma to characterize this rare tumor. METHODS We present the case of a 6-year-old boy with primary CNS rhabdomyosarcoma in the posterior fossa. In a systematic meta-review, we compare the demographic data of primary CNS rhabdomyosarcoma with data of rhabdomyosarcoma at all sites from the SEER database and analyze clinical factors associated with survival outcome. RESULTS Our patient underwent gross total resection and received vincristine, actinomycin-D, cyclophosphamide with early introduction of concurrent focal radiation and remained alive with no evidence of disease for 2 years after the end of therapy. Histopathological review revealed embryonal-type rhabdomyosarcoma, and whole-transcriptome analysis revealed PAX3 (EX6)-NCOA2 (EX12) fusion. In all, 77 cases of primary CNS rhabdomyosarcoma were identified through the meta-review. The demographic data of primary CNS rhabdomyosarcoma were similar to data of rhabdomyosarcoma at all sites. Overall and event-free survival outcomes were available for 64 and 56 patients, respectively, with a 3-year OS of 29.0% and a 3-year EFS of 25.7%. The group that received trimodal treatment exhibited better survival outcomes, with a 3-year OS of 57.4% and a 3-year EFS of 46.3%. CONCLUSIONS Primary CNS rhabdomyosarcoma shares common histological, molecular, and demographic features with non-CNS rhabdomyosarcoma. A trimodal treatment approach with early introduction of radiation therapy may result in favorable survival outcomes.

Abstract
This is the case of a parameningeal alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) in a 13-year-old boy who presented with painless loss of vision in the right eye, but very few other physical signs. The ARMS diagnosis was confirmed with imaging and molecular characterisation of the tumour. Despite tolerating the initial chemotherapy and radiotherapy regimens, there was leptomeningeal recurrence and the patient unfortunately passed away. Parameningeal ARMS occurs in an area of the body, which leads to a wide variety of possible presenting symptoms, creating a long list of differentials that can delay treatment. This tumour subtype has a poor prognosis, and due to the location of the tumour around vital structures in the head, treatment toxicities must be taken into account. This highlights the necessity for having a strong index of suspicion for this tumour in atypical presentations in children, and the necessity for prompt treatment to prevent leptomeningeal disease from occurring.

Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most frequent soft tissue sarcoma (STS) in children and adolescents. In Spain the annual incidence is 4.4 cases per million children < 14 years. It is an uncommon neoplasm in adults, but 40% of RMS are diagnosed in patients over 20 years of age, representing 1% of all STS in this age group. RMS can appear anywhere in the body, with some sites more frequently affected including head and neck, genitourinary system and limbs. Assessment of a patient with suspicion of RMS includes imaging studies (MRI, CT, PET-CT) and biopsy. All patients with RMS should receive chemotherapy, either at diagnosis in advanced or metastatic stages, or after initial resection in early local stages. Local control includes surgery and/or radiotherapy depending on site, stage, histology and response to chemotherapy. This guide provides recommendations for diagnosis, staging and treatment of this neoplasm.

Abstract
Children and adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer are often treated with a multidisciplinary approach. This includes use of radiotherapy, which is important for local control, but may also cause adverse events in the long term, including second cancer. The risks for limited growth and development, endocrine dysfunction, reduced fertility and second cancer in children and AYAs are reduced by proton beam therapy (PBT), which has a dose distribution that decreases irradiation of normal organs while still targeting the tumor. To define the outcomes and characteristics of PBT in cancer treatment in pediatric and AYA patients, this document was developed by the Japanese Society for Radiation Oncology (JASTRO) and the Japanese Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology (JSPHO).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The head and neck (HN) are the most frequent sites of pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). Alveolar RMS (ARMS) represents ~20% of all RMS cases and frequently spread to lymph nodes (LNs). The aim was to report locoregional control, event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS), according to clinical and pathological features, LN staging, and treatment modalities. METHODS The study included all patients prospectively enrolled in EpSSG RMS 2005 study under 21 years of age with localized HN ARMS and diagnosed between 2005 and 2016 in France. Medical data including imaging, surgical report, and radiation therapy planes were analyzed. RESULTS Forty-eight patients (median age 6 years; range 4 months-21 years), corresponding to 30 parameningeal and 18 non-parameningeal ARMS, were included. There were 33 boys (69%). Tumor locations included the following: orbit (n = 7) among which four cases had bone erosion, paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity (n = 16), deep facial spaces (n = 10), nasolabial fold (n = 8), and other non-parameningeal HN sites (n = 7). A fusion transcript of PAX3-FOXO1 or PAX7-FOXO1 was expressed in 33 of the 45 cases (73%) with molecular analysis. At diagnosis, 10 patients had primary resection of the primary tumor (PRPT) (none with microscopic complete resection) and 9 had LN staging. After induction chemotherapy, 26 patients (54%) had secondary resection of the primary tumor (SRPT) and 13 patients (27%) had cervical LN dissection. A total of 43 patients (90%) were treated with radiation therapy.With a median follow-up of 7 years (range 2-13 years), 5-year OS and EFS were 78% (95% CI, 63-88%) and 66% (95% CI, 51-78%), respectively. We observed 16 events (10 deaths): 4 local, 4 regional, 1 local and regional, and 7 metastatic. In univariate analysis, OS was only superior for patients under 10 years of age (p = 0.002), while FOXO1-negative ARMS, SRPT for parameningeal ARMS, and LN surgery were associated with significantly better EFS. CONCLUSION Our study confirms a better outcome for fusion-negative ARMS and ARMS in children under 10 years. Moreover, LN surgery and SRPT of parameningeal tumor may improve EFS of ARMS. Larger studies are needed to confirm our findings.
