Abstract
Sarcomas are a group of malignancies of mesenchymal origin with a plethora of subtypes. Given the sheer heterogeneity of various subtypes and the rarity of the disease, the management of sarcomas has been challenging, with poor patient outcomes. Surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy have remained the backbone of treatment in patients with sarcoma. The introduction of immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of various solid and hematological malignancies. In this review, we discuss the basics of immunotherapy and the immune microenvironment in sarcomas; various modalities of immunotherapy, like immune checkpoint blockade, oncolytic viruses, cancer-targeted antibodies, vaccine therapy; and adoptive cell therapies like CAR T-cell therapy, T-cell therapy, and TCR therapy.

Koyama M, Yamaguchi K, Chigusa Y, Yamanoi K, Taki M, Sunada M, Horie A, Hamanishi J, Minamiguchi S, Mandai M. ATM mutation in aggressive uterine adenosarcoma in which systemic chemotherapies had remarkable effects. Int Cancer Conf J 2023; 12:120-125. [PMID: 36896195 PMCID: PMC9989063 DOI: 10.1007/s13691-022-00591-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Uterine adenosarcoma is a rare gynecologic malignancy, and 10-25% of the cases exhibit clinically aggressive behaviors. Although TP53 mutations are frequently identified in high-grade adenosarcomas of the uterus, definitive gene alterations have not been identified in uterine adenosarcomas. Specifically, no reports have described mutations in homologous recombination deficiency-related genes in uterine adenosarcomas. This study presents a case of uterine adenosarcoma without sarcomatous overgrowth but with TP53 mutation that exhibited clinically aggressive behaviors. The patient had an ATM mutation, which is a gene associated with homologous recombination deficiency, and exhibited a good response against platinum-based chemotherapy and possible therapeutic target by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors.
