Abstract
BACKGROUND Pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare sarcoma in adults. The clinical characteristics, outcomes and prognostic factors associated with pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma remain unclear. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from the Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Registry of Japan, and enrolled patients with pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma. Disease-specific overall survival, local recurrence-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method; Cox regression model was used to identify prognostic factors. RESULTS In total, 182 patients with pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma were included. Median age was 63 (range 20-95) years. The lower extremity (48%) was the most frequent tumor origin site, while head and neck were rare (4%). A total of 43 patients (24%) had distant or regional nodal metastases at first presentation. In all cases, the 2-year and 5-year survival rates were 66.3% and 54.1%, respectively. Distant metastasis was a significant poor prognostic factor (Hazard ratio 6.65; 95% confidence intervals, 3.00-14.75, P < 0.0001), with median survival of such patients being 9.4 (95% confidence intervals: 5.3-12.2) months. In 134 localized cases, the 2-year and 5-year survival rates were 91.5% and 68.3%, respectively. Large tumor size and older age were associated with poorer prognosis. Through data from localized and locally curative cases extracted and adjusted by propensity score matching, we found that perioperative chemotherapy did not improve disease-specific overall survival, distant metastasis-free survival or local recurrence-free survival. CONCLUSIONS Clinical characteristics and outcomes of pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma are similar to those of other high-grade soft tissue sarcomas. Pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma may be less chemosensitive, and a strategy other than the standard cytotoxic chemotherapy is required to improve its prognosis.

Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma accounts for roughly 1% of adult sarcomas, with pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma (PRMS) as the most common subtype. Survival outcomes remain poor for patients with PRMS, and little is known about the molecular drivers of this disease. To better characterize PRMS, we performed a broad array of genomic and immunostaining analyses on 25 patient samples. In terms of gene expression and methylation, PRMS clustered more closely with other complex karyotype sarcomas than with pediatric alveolar and embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Immune infiltrate levels in PRMS were among the highest observed in multiple sarcoma types and contrasted with low levels in other rhabdomyosarcoma subtypes. Lower immune infiltrate was associated with complete loss of both TP53 and RB1. This comprehensive characterization of the genetic, epigenetic, and immune landscape of PRMS provides a roadmap for improved prognostications and therapeutic exploration.

Special features of sarcomas developed in patients with Lynch syndrome: a systematic review. Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2023:104055. [PMID: 37301271 DOI: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2023.104055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Lynch syndrome (LS) is a genetic predisposition leading to colorectal and non-colorectal tumors such as endometrial, upper urinary tract, small intestine, ovarian, gastric, biliary duct cancers and glioblastoma. Though not classically associated with LS, growing literature suggests that sarcomas might develop in patients with LS. This systematic review of literature identified 44 studies (N=95) of LS patients who developed sarcomas. It seems that most sarcomas developed in patients with a germline mutation of MSH2 (57%) exhibit a dMMR (81%) or MSI (77%) phenotype, as in other LS-tumors. Although undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), leiomyosarcoma, and liposarcoma remain the most represented histologic subtype, a higher proportion of rhabdomyosarcoma (10%, especially pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma) is reported. Further studies are required to better characterize this sub-population.
