Abstract
PURPOSE Orbital rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma in childhood but with a good prognosis. Treatment usually includes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate long-term alterations in teeth and cranial bones in children, adolescents, and young adults after oncologic treatment for childhood orbital rhabdomyosarcoma. METHOD This was a cross-sectional study that evaluated patients treated for orbital rhabdomyosarcoma between 1988 and 2011. Demographic, clinical, and treatment data were collected during the study period; also, panoramic radiographs, cephalometric study, and photographs of the face were taken. RESULTS Eight long-term survivors were studied. Of those, 50% were male, 75% had less than 5 years of treatment, and 88% had only one of the orbits affected by the tumor. Regarding treatment, 50% received 50.4 Gy of radiotherapy in the orbit; the chemotherapy included vincristine, actinomycin D, and cyclophosphamide in 75% of the cases and also ifosfamide and etoposide in 25%. The children presented craniofacial alterations, mainly when radiotherapy occurred between 0 and 5 years old (p = 0.01). The mandibles also showed dental alterations, probably due to chemotherapy. CONCLUSION In conclusion, orbital RMS patients treated with chemoradiotherapy, important dental, and facial bone alterations were found. The most significant were in the maxilla and close to the irradiation field. Dental and mandibular bone alterations were also found, indicating the probable chemotherapy action, as this region was not included in the irradiation field.

Orbital Rhabdomyosarcoma: Comprehensive Review of Epidemiology, Clinical Staging, and Treatment Outcomes. World Neurosurg 2024:S1878-8750(24)01250-6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Orbital rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), the most common primary malignant orbital tumor in childhood, presents unique challenges in management due to its genetic basis and abnormal cellular proliferation. Management has evolved from surgical excision to multimodal approaches, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. This review explores trends in epidemiology, pathophysiological insights, and treatment evolution to delineate optimal therapeutic strategies. METHODS A literature search was conducted across PubMed and Scopus databases up to March 4, 2024, using keywords related to orbital RMS. Studies were selected based on predefined criteria, focusing on clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities, management strategies, and outcomes. Data extraction and analysis were performed independently by 2 reviewers, with quality assessment based on the Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine 2011 guidelines and Joanna Briggs Institute checklists. RESULTS The review synthesized data from 17 studies, highlighting demographic patterns, clinical characteristics, staging, and treatment approaches. Most patients were male and white, with a higher proportion of early-stages diagnoses. The embryonal subtype was the most common, and treatment has shifted toward radiation therapy and combined modalities. In orbital RMS, several modalities are applied in treatment. There are radiotherapy, surgical interventions, and chemotherapy. Recent studies put more emphasis on the long-term outcome of the disease about orbital bone development and facial symmetry. CONCLUSIONS Management of orbital RMS has evolved significantly, with a current emphasis on multimodal treatment strategies. Future research should focus on optimizing therapeutic approaches to balance effective tumor control with the preservation of orbital function and esthetics.

Int J Ophthalmol 2023; 16:402-410. [PMID: 36935785 PMCID: PMC10009604 DOI: 10.18240/ijo.2023.03.11] [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: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM To illustrate clinicopathological features of orbital non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma (NRSTS), and to compare the treatment outcome between postoperative radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy in a retrospective analysis nearly 20y. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of 56 patients with orbital NRSTS were reviewed, 34 of whom received postoperative RT, and 22 received postoperative chemotherapy. The clinicopathological features, local recurrence, metastases, and survival data were recorded. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS During follow-up (111.8mo, ranged 8-233mo) for 56 patients, 19 patients of them developed local recurrence, and 7 patients developed distant metastases. Fifteen patients died during follow-up period. Overall survival rates considering the whole study group was 78.57% at 5y, and 72.16% at 10y after the initial diagnosis. Compared with chemotherapy, RT was associated with lower risk of local recurrence [hazard ratio for RT vs chemotherapy, 0.263, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.095-0.728, P=0.0015]; with lower risk of distant metastasis (hazard ratio for RT vs chemotherapy, 0.073, 95%CI, 0.015-0.364, P=0.0014); and with lower risk of death from disease (hazard ratio for RT vs chemotherapy, 0.066, 95%CI, 0.022-0.200, P<0.0001). The 5-year survival rate in RT group was 97.06% compared to 50% in chemotherapy group. CONCLUSION In patients with orbital NRSTS, postoperative RT provides better control of local recurrence, distant metastasis, and death from disease than chemotherapy. RT is the more preferrable adjuvant therapy compared to chemotherapy possibly.

Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents and accounts for 3% of all pediatric tumors. Subtypes include alveolar, spindle cell, embryonal, mixed-type, pleomorphic, and rhabdomyosarcoma with ganglionic differentiation. The National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was queried for patients diagnosed with any type of rhabdomyosarcoma between 1973 and 2014. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, and incidence were studied with χ2 analysis. Survival was modeled with Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the effect of age and gender on survival. Pleomorphic subtype had higher grade and larger sized tumors compared to other subtypes (p < 0.05). Pleomorphic and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma had the worst overall survival with a 26.6% and 28.9% 5-year survival, respectively. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma had the highest 5-year survival rate (73.9%). Tumor size was negatively correlated with survival months, indicating patients with larger tumors had shorter survival times (p < 0.05). Presence of higher-grade tumors and metastatic disease at presentation were negatively correlated with survival months (p < 0.05). No significant differences in the survival were found between gender or race between all of the subtypes (p > 0.05). This study highlights key differences in the demographic and survival rates of the different types of rhabdomyosarcoma that can be used for more tailored patient counseling. We also demonstrate that large, population-level databases provide sufficient data that can be used in the analysis of rare tumors. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.
