Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the impact of the implementation of a network of reference centers for sarcomas (NETSARC) on the care and survival of sarcoma patients in France since 2010. PATIENTS AND METHODS NETSARC (netsarc.org) is a network of 26 reference sarcoma centers with specialized multidisciplinary tumor boards (MDTBs), funded by the French National Cancer Institute (INCa) since 2010. Its aims are to improve the quality of diagnosis and care of sarcoma patients. Patients' characteristics, treatments, and outcomes are collected in a nationwide database. The objective of this analysis was to compare the survival of patients in three periods: 2010-2012 (non-exhaustive), 2013-2015, and 2016-2020. RESULTS A total of 43 975 patients with sarcomas, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), or connective tissue tumors of intermediate malignancy were included in the NETSARC+ database since 2010 (n = 9266 before 2013, n = 12 274 between 2013 and 2015, n = 22 435 in 2016-2020). Median age was 56 years, 50.5% were women, and 13.2% had metastasis at diagnosis. Overall survival was significantly superior in the period 2016-2020 versus 2013-2015 versus 2010-2012 for the entire population, for patients >18 years of age, and for both metastatic and non-metastatic patients in univariate and multivariate analyses (P < 0.0001). Over the three periods, we observed a significantly improved compliance to clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) nationwide: the proportion of patients biopsied before surgery increased from 62.9% to 72.6%; the percentage of patients presented to NETSARC MDTBs before first surgery increased from 31.7% to 44.4% (P < 0.0001). The proportion of patients with R0 resection on first surgery increased (from 36.1% to 46.6%), while R2 resection rate decreased (from 10.9% to 7.9%), with a better compliance and improvement in NETSARC centers. CONCLUSIONS The implementation of the national reference network for sarcoma was associated with an improvement of overall survival and compliance to guidelines nationwide in sarcoma patients. Referral to expert networks for sarcoma patients should be encouraged, though a better compliance to CPGs can still be achieved.

Abstract
PURPOSE A randomized trial was conducted to compare neoadjuvant standard (S) anthracycline + ifosfamide (AI) regimen with histology-tailored (HT) regimen in selected localized high-risk soft tissue sarcoma (STS). The results of the trial demonstrated the superiority of S in all STS histologies except for high-grade myxoid liposarcoma (HG-MLPS) where S and HT appeared to be equivalent. To further evaluate the noninferiority of HT compared with S, the HG-MLPS cohort was expanded. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients had localized high-grade (cellular component >5%; size ≥5 cm; deeply seated) MLPS of extremities or trunk wall. The primary end point was disease-free survival (DFS). The secondary end point was overall survival (OS). The trial used a noninferiority Bayesian design, wherein HT would be considered not inferior to S if the posterior probability of the true hazard ratio (HR) being >1.25 was <5%. RESULTS From May 2011 to June 2020, 101 patients with HG-MLPS were randomly assigned, 45 to the HT arm and 56 to the S arm. The median follow-up was 66 months (IQR, 37-89). Median size was 107 mm (IQR, 84-143), 106 mm (IQR, 75-135) in the HT arm and 108 mm (IQR, 86-150) in the S arm. At 60 months, the DFS and OS probabilities were 0.86 and 0.73 (HR, 0.60 [95% CI, 0.24 to 1.46]; log-rank P = .26 for DFS) and 0.88 and 0.90 (HR, 1.20 [95% CI, 0.37 to 3.93]; log-rank P = .77 for OS) in the HT and S arms, respectively. The posterior probability of HR being >1.25 for DFS met the Bayesian monitoring cutoff of <5% (4.93%). This result confirmed the noninferiority of trabectedin to AI suggested in the original study cohort. CONCLUSION Trabectedin may be an alternative to standard AI in HG-MLPS of the extremities or trunk when neoadjuvant treatment is a consideration.

Abstract
Lipoblastoma-like tumor (LLT) is a benign soft tissue tumor demonstrating mixed morphologic features of lipoblastoma, myxoid liposarcoma, and spindle cell lipoma but lacking genetic alterations associated with those tumors. LLT was originally thought to be specific to the vulva but has since been reported in the paratesticular region. The morphologic features of LLT overlap with those of "fibrosarcoma-like lipomatous neoplasm" (FLLN), a rare, indolent adipocytic neoplasm considered by some to form part of the spectrum of atypical spindle cell and pleomorphic lipomatous tumor. We compared the morphologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic features of 23 tumors previously classified as LLT (n = 17) and FLLN (n = 6). The 23 tumors occurred in 13 women and 10 men (mean age, 42 years; range, 17 to 80 years). Eighteen (78%) cases arose in the inguinogenital region, whereas 5 tumors (22%) involved noninguinogenital soft tissue, including the flank (n = 1), shoulder (n = 1), foot (n = 1), forearm (n = 1), and chest wall (n = 1). Microscopically, the tumors were lobulated and septated, with variably collagenized fibromyxoid stroma, prominent thin-walled vessels, scattered univacuolated or bivacuolated lipoblasts, and a minor component of mature adipose tissue. Using immunohistochemistry, 5 tumors (42%) showed complete RB1 loss, with partial loss in 7 cases (58%). RNA sequencing, chromosomal microarray, and DNA next-generation sequencing study results were negative for significant alterations. There were no clinical, morphologic, immunohistochemical, or molecular genetic differences between cases previously classified as LLT or FLLN. Clinical follow-up (11 patients [48%]; range, 2-276 months; mean, 48.2 months) showed all patients were alive without disease, and only one patient had experienced a single local recurrence. We conclude that LLT and FLLN represent the same entity, for which "LLT" seems most appropriate. LLT may occur in either sex and any superficial soft tissue location. Careful morphologic study and appropriate ancillary testing should allow for the distinction of LLT from its potential mimics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The value of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is not completely understood. This study investigated the benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to prognostic stratification based on the Sarculator nomogram for STS. METHODS This study analyzed data from ISG-STS 1001, a randomized study that tested 3 cycles of neoadjuvant anthracycline plus ifosfamide (AI) or histology-tailored (HT) chemotherapy in adult patients with STS. The 10-year predicted overall survival (pr-OS) was estimated with the Sarculator and was stratified into higher (10-year pr-OS < 60%) and lower risk subgroups (10-year pr-OS ≥ 60%). RESULTS The median pr-OS was 0.63 (interquartile range [IQR], 0.51-0.72) for the entire study population, 0.62 (IQR, 0.51-0.70) for the AI arm, and 0.64 (IQR, 0.51-0.73) for the HT arm. Three- and 5-year overall survival (OS) were 0.86 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.82-0.93) and 0.81 (95% CI, 0.71-0.86) in lower risk patients and 0.69 (95% CI, 0.70-0.85) and 0.59 (95% CI, 0.51-0.72) in the higher risk patients (log-rank test, P = .004). In higher risk patients, the 3- and 5-year Sarculator-predicted and study-observed OS rates were 0.68 and 0.58, respectively, and 0.85 and 0.66, respectively, in the AI arm (P = .04); the corresponding figures in the HT arm were 0.69 and 0.60, respectively, and 0.69 and 0.55, respectively (P > .99). In lower risk patients, the 3- and 5-year Sarculator-predicted and study-observed OS rates were 0.85 and 0.80, respectively, and 0.89 and 0.82, respectively, in the AI arm (P = .507); the corresponding figures in the HT arm were 0.87 and 0.81, respectively, and 0.86 and 0.74, respectively (P = .105). CONCLUSIONS High-risk patients treated with AI performed better than predicted, and this adds to the evidence for the efficacy of neoadjuvant AI in STS. LAY SUMMARY People affected by soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities and trunk wall are at some risk of developing metastasis after surgery. Preoperative or postoperative chemotherapy has been tested in clinical trials to reduce the chances of distant metastasis. However, study findings have not been conclusive. This study stratified the risk of metastasis for people affected by sarcomas who were included in a clinical trial testing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Exploiting the prognostic nomogram Sarculator, it found a benefit for chemotherapy when the predicted risk, based on patient and tumor characteristics, was high.

Abstract
11572 Background: The characteristics of immune contexture and its prognostic and predictive value in STS is left to be understood. This planned analysis of the ISG-STS-1001 trial, which compared neoadjuvant anthracycline + ifosfamide (AI) vs a histology-tailored (HT) chemotherapy (ChT), was aimed at characterizing the immune contexture after neoadjuvant ChT and investigating any association with the risk of recurrence. Methods: Patients registered in the ISG-STS-1001 study (ID: NCT01710176) were included if they had tumor tissue available for Tissue MicroArray (TMA), which was performed in the area of the surgical specimen with the highest lymphocyte infiltrate. The following markers were analyzed with IHC and measured quantitatively: CD3, CD8, PD1, GranzymeB, Foxp3, CD20, CD163, and PDL1. The T-Distributed Stochastic Neighboring Entities (t-SNE) analysis was used to account for the co-expression of IHC markers in each tumor. The prognostic value of each marker for disease-free survival (DFS) was assessed. Results: This analysis was conducted in 256 of 435 study patients. AI and HT neoadjuvant ChT did not result in any different distribution of immune contexture. Conversely, differences were observed between ‘complex’ karyotype STS (ck-STS: LMS, MPNST, UPS, MFS, pleomorphic liposarcoma, and pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma) and ‘simple’ karyotype STS (sk-STS: MLPS and SS). Ck-STS were enriched in both CD3+ and CD8+ cells compared to sk-STS. These cells displayed an heterogeneous distribution and were dispersed inside the tumor nest, keeping direct contact with sarcoma cells. Ck-STS also displayed an enrichment in Granzyme B+, and CD163+ cells. PDL1+ cells were occasionally identified and were more frequent in ck-STS, suggesting an immune-related expression. Most STS were negative for CD20+ cells, however, when present these cells were highly represented and organized in tertiary lymphoid-like structure. The t-SNE generated plot clustered tumors, the ‘cold’ mainly including sk-STS and the ‘hot’ mainly composed by ck-STS. In the ‘hot’ group, a cluster of tumors displayed an immune infiltrate enriched with a high number of CD3, CD8, GranzymeB, PD-1, and PDL-1+ cells. When the prognostic value of the immune markers was investigated, the presence of CD20+ cells was the only independent prognostic factor for DFS (HR=0.68, 95%CI 0.52-0.91) in a histology-stratified estimate adjusting for tumor size in cm (HR=1.07, 95%CI 1.03-1.12) and patient age (HR=1.0, 95%CI 0.97-1.02). Conclusions: Immune contexture differed across sarcoma histologies after neoadjuvant ChT, rather than across the two study arms, with ck-STS being marked by a rich immune contexture. While a CD20+ infiltrate was found to be an independent prognostic factor for a better outcome, further analyses are in progress on the prognosis of patients with the richest immune contexture. Clinical trial information: NCT01710176.

Abstract
11543 Background: The ceiling-drug effect seen for most active drugs in STS could be related, partially, to multidrug resistance mechanisms (MDRM). We previously reported the independent prognostic role for RFS and OS of MRP1 in high-risk localized STS of limbs and trunk-wall treated with epirubicin and ifosfamide (Mol Cancer Ther.2014 13(1):249-59). A translational study was carried out within the randomized phase III trial of epirubicin plus ifosfamide vs histotype-tailored neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT01710176), to investigate MRP1 prognostic value using the trial population as validation set. Methods: Patients enrolled in the trial were invited to participate, through the informed consent, to this analysis. IHC used QCRL-1 (Santa Cruz biotechnology) MRP1 monoclonal antibody. TMAs were built on the highest-grade area of each tumor, being the procedure blinded for clinical data. MRP1 expression was grouped as low (≤ 25% positive cells) vs high ( > 25% positive cells) expression. For data analysis, patients were grouped as A) epirubicin plus ifosfamide control arm and B) histotype-tailored experimental arm. Drugs used in group B were: gemcitabine-docetaxel (UPS), gemcitabine-DTIC (LMS), trabectedin (High-grade (HG) myxoid LPS), ifosfamide-etoposide (MPNST) and high-dose ifosfamide (SS). Prognostic value of MRP1’s extension was analyzed using Cox’s proportional hazard regression. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: 175 patients were analyzed (median age 49; males 61%) with median follow-up of 4.66 y. Group A (n = 88) included HG-myxoid LPS (27%), SS (25%), UPS (24%), LMS (12%) MPNST (10%) and others (2%); group B (n = 87) included UPS (38%), SS (24%), HG-myxoid LPS (20%), LMS (10%) and MPNST (8%). MRP1 high extension was distributed as follows: 48% (A) and 57% (B). High MRP-1 expression showed significantly worse prognosis for disease-free survival (DFS) (HR 2.71 (1.31-5.62) p = 0.007) and a trend towards worse OS (HR = 2.75 (0.97-7.81) p = 0.058) in group A. No correlation was seen between MRP-1 expression and DFS (p = 0.384) or OS (p = 0.665), in group B. Conclusions: MRP1 overexpression was related to significant worse prognosis in 2 prospective randomized series of high-risk, localized, STS treated with neoadjuvant epirubicin and ifosfamide. These agents are both substrate of MRP1; this could add rationale for a possible predictive role, as MDRM, for the two most active drugs in STS. A trial combining epirubicin, ifosfamide and MRP1 inhibitor is currently under design.

Abstract
e23531 Background: The Complexity INdex in SARComas (CINSARC) is a gene expression signature related to mitosis and chromosome integrity that stratifies risk for recurrence of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients. The aim of this study was to validate the prognostic value of CINSARC in patients enrolled in a randomised trial that compared histotype-tailored neoadjuvant chemotherapy with standard chemotherapy in patients with high-risk STS (ISG-STS 1001). Methods: CINSARC is 67-gene-expression-based signature that has been previously tested in retrospective series. The ISG-STS 1001 was a phase 3 RCT comparing histotype-tailored and anthracycline-based chemotherapy in localised, high-risk STS of the extremities or trunk wall, with one of five histological STS subtypes: high-grade myxoid liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour, and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. Outcome variables were disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS) and tumour response according to RECIST v1.1. Results: CINSARC was assessed in pre-treatment biopsies of 87 in 435 patients participating in the study. Thirty and 57 patients segregated in the lower (C1) and higher (C2) CINSARC risk group, respectively. Incidence of local recurrences (LR) and distant metastasis (DM) did not differ between C1 and C2 CINSARC groups [2 (6.6%) and 11 (19.3%) patients had a LR, respectively, and 10 (33.3%) and 14 (24.5%) patients had DM, respectively, P = 0.800]. Consistently, we did not observe statistically significant differences for DFS and OS between patients in the CINSARC C1 and C2 groups (log-rank test, P = 0.522 and P = 0.480, respectively). RECIST tumour response was analysed in a subset of patients (N = 39), showing that a RECIST SD was more likely in C1 (N = 12/14, 85.6%) compared to C2 (N = 18/25, 72%) group, while both RECIST PD and PR were more commonly detected in C2 [3/25 (12%) and 4/25 (16%), respectively] compared to C1 [0/14 (0%) and 1/14 (7.1%), respectively] group. Conclusions: In high-risk STS patients treated with preoperative chemotherapy within a RCT, CINSARC did not correlate with different DFS and OS. While this may well be due to a failure of this gene signature in this patient population, an alternative hypothesis is that preoperative chemotherapy may improve the prognosis of higher-risk patients. Clinical trial information: NCT01710176 .

Abstract
11560 Background: Since 2010, presentation to a designated sarcoma tumor board and pathological review by an expert network are mandatory for sarcoma patients in France. NETSARC+ (merging the 3 initial RREPS, RESOS & NETSARC) collected prospectively all cases of reviewed sarcomas and tumors of intermediate malignancy (TIM) nationwide. We report on the incidence of subtypes according to WHO classification from 2013 to 2016. Methods: Sarcoma expert pathologists reviewed samples were all prospectively integrated in the database; the results using the latest WHO classification are presented for the years 2013 to 2016, including yearly variations. Correlation of the incidence of each histotype with dedicated published clinical trials was conducted. Results: 139 different histological subtypes are reported among the 25172 patients with sarcomas (n = 18710, 64%) or TIM (n = 6460, 36%), respectively n = 5838, n = 6153, n = 6654, and n = 6527 yearly from 2013 to 2016. Over these 4 years, the observed yearly incidence of sarcomas, TIM, and all was therefore 79.7, 24.9 and 95.1/10e6/year, above that previously reported. GIST, liposarcoma, leiomyosarcomas, undifferentiated sarcomas represented 13%, 13%, 11% and 11% of all sarcomas. Only GIST, as a single entity exceeded a yearly incidence above 10/million per year. There were respectively 30, 63 and 66 different histological subtypes of sarcomas or TIM (single entities or lumped together, e.g. MPNST, or vascular sarcomas...) with an incidence ranging from 10 to 1/10e6/year, 1-0.1/10e6 per year, or < 0.1/10e6/year respectively. The 2 later “incidence groups” included 21% of the patients. The incidence of 8 histotypes varied significantly over this 4 years. Patients with tumors with an incidence above 1/10e6 per year have significantly higher numbers of dedicated published phase III and phase II clinical trials (p < 10e-6). Conclusions: This nationwide registry of sarcoma patients with an histology reviewed by sarcoma experts shows that the incidence of sarcoma and TIM is higher than previously reported, may vary over years for some histotypes, and that tumors with an incidence < 10e6 have a much lower access to clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether the administration of histology-tailored neoadjuvant chemotherapy (HT) was superior to the administration of standard anthracycline plus ifosfamide neoadjuvant chemotherapy (A+I) in high-risk soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of an extremity or the trunk wall. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a randomized, open-label, phase III trial. Patients had localized high-risk STS (grade 3; size, ≥ 5 cm) of an extremity or trunk wall, belonging to one of the following five histologic subtypes: high-grade myxoid liposarcoma (HG-MLPS); leiomyosarcoma (LMS), synovial sarcoma (SS), malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS). Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive three cycles of A+I or HT. The HT regimens were as follows: trabectedin in HG-MLPS; gemcitabine plus dacarbazine in LMS; high-dose prolonged-infusion ifosfamide in SS; etoposide plus ifosfamide in MPNST; and gemcitabine plus docetaxel in UPS. Primary and secondary end points were disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using Cox models adjusted for treatment and stratification factors. The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier NCT01710176). RESULTS Between May 2011 and May 2016, 287 patients (UPS: n = 97 [33.8%]; HG-MLPS: n = 65 [22.6%]; SS: n = 70 [24.4%]; MPNST: n = 27 [9.4%]; and LMS: n = 28 [9.8%]) were randomly assigned to either A+I or HT. At the final analysis, with a median follow-up of 52 months, the projected DFS and OS probabilities were 0.55 and 0.47 (log-rank P = .323) and 0.76 and 0.66 (log-rank P = .018) at 60 months in the A+I arm and HT arm, respectively. No treatment-related deaths were observed. CONCLUSION In a population of patients with localized high-risk STS, HT was not associated with a better DFS or OS, suggesting that A+I should remain the regimen to choose whenever neoadjuvant chemotherapy is used in patients with high-risk STS.

Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcomas with TFCP2 fusions represent an emerging subtype of tumors, initially discovered by RNA-sequencing. We report herein the clinicopathological, transcriptional, and genomic features of a series of 14 cases. Cases were retrospectively and prospectively recruited and studied by immunohistochemistry (MYF4, MYOD1, S100, AE1/E3, ALK), fluorescence in situ hybridization with TFCP2 break-apart probe (n = 10/14), array-comparative genomic hybridization (Agilent), whole RNA-sequencing (Truseq Exome, Illumina), or anchored multiplex PCR-based targeted next-generation sequencing (Archer® FusionPlex® Sarcoma kit). Patient's age ranged between 11 and 86 years, including 5 pediatric cases. Tumors were located in the bone (n = 12/14) and soft tissue (n = 2/14). Most bone tumors invaded surrounding soft tissue. Craniofacial bones were over-represented (n = 8/12). Median survival was 8 months and five patients are currently alive with a median follow-up of 20 months. Most tumors displayed a mixed spindle cell and epithelioid pattern with frequent vesicular nuclei. All tumors expressed keratins and showed a rhabdomyogenic phenotype (defined as expression of MYF4 and/or MYOD1). ALK was overexpressed in all but three cases without underlying ALK fusion on break-apart FISH (n = 5) nor next-generation sequencing (n = 14). ALK upregulation was frequently associated with an internal deletion at genomic level. TFCP2 was fused in 5' either to EWSR1 (n = 6) or FUS (n = 8). EWSR1 was involved in both soft tissue cases. FISH with TFCP2 break-apart probe was positive in all tested cases (n = 8), including one case with unbalanced signal. On array-CGH, all tested tumors displayed complex genetic profiles with genomic indexes ranging from 13 to 107.55 and recurrent CDKN2A deletions. FET-TFCP2 rhabdomyosarcomas clustered together and distinctly from other rhabdomyosarcomas subgroups. Altogether, our data confirm and expand the spectrum of the new family of FET-TFCP2 rhabdomyosarcomas, which are associated with a predilection for the craniofacial bones, an aggressive course, and recurrent pathological features. Their association with ALK overexpression might represent a therapeutic vulnerability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This document is a summary of the French Intergroup guidelines regarding the management of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) updated in December 2018. DESIGN This collaborative work summarizes clinical practice recommendations (guidelines) on the management of GISTs. It is based on recent literature review, ESMO recommendations and expert opinions. RESULTS The diagnosis of GIST is based on histological examination and immunohistochemistry with markers KIT and DOG-1. Each case must be discussed within a multidisciplinary team. Complete surgical resection tumour, avoiding peroperative perforation, is the potentially curative treatment of localized GISTs. The estimation of the recurrence risk is essential, or adjuvant treatment,and follow-up adaptation. Genotyping (KIT and PDGFRA) of all but very low-risk GISTs is recommended. The nature of mutation has a prognostic value and predictive influence on drug efficacy. Imatinib, a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor, is the standard adjuvant treatment after R0 resection of a GIST with a high risk of recurrence, and the first line therapy for advanced GISTs. Suninitib and regorafenib are respectively the second- and third-line standard treatments for advanced GISTs. CONCLUSION Guidelines for management of GISTs are continuously evolving and need to be regularly updated. This constant progress is made possible through clinical and translational research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Soft tissue sarcoma localization in distal extremities (DESTS) of the limbs (hand/fingers, and foot/toes) is unusual. The literature is scarce about their behavior and this study was designed to assess their epidemiological characteristics, outcomes, and prognosis compared to other limb localizations (OLSTS). METHODS From 1980 to 2010, adult DESTS and OLSTS in 22 centers were included. Demographics, tumor type, treatment modalities, and latest follow-up status were collected. Primary endpoints were overall survival and local/metastatic recurrence incidences. RESULTS Two hundred five DESTS and 3001 OLSTS were included. The patients were younger, with more female and smaller tumors in DESTS. There were more clear cell/epithelioid sarcomas, synovial sarcomas, and myxoid liposarcomas vs more dedifferentiated liposarcomas in OLSTS. DESTS tumors were less irradiated and more often amputated (24.3% vs 3.4%). The five-year survival rate was 78.2% compared to 68.6% in OLSTS and after multivariate analysis, STS localization did not impact survival or local/metastatic recurrence. CONCLUSION Though rare and smaller than other limb localizations, DESTS are to be considered as aggressive. Despite a higher amputation rate, the prognosis remains the same as in OLSTS. Limb sparing vs amputation should be carefully assessed in DESTS, especially if grade 3 or of a poor prognosis histological subtype.

Abstract
Background Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are rare unusual ubiquitous soft tissue tumors that are presumed to be of fibroblastic differentiation. At present, the challenge is to establish accurate prognostic factors. Patients and methods A total of 214 consecutive patients with SFT diagnosed in 24 participating cancer centers were entered into the European database (www.conticabase.org) to perform univariate and multivariate analysis for overall survival (OS), local recurrence incidence (LRI) and metastatic recurrence incidence (MRI) by taking competing risks into account. A prognostic model was constructed for LRI and MRI. Internal and external validations of the prognostic models were carried out. An individual risk calculator was carried out to quantify the risk of both local and metastatic recurrence. Results We restricted our analysis to 162 patients with local disease. Twenty patients (12.3%) were deceased at the time of analysis and the median OS was not reached. The LRI rates at 10 and 20 years were 19.2% and 38.6%, respectively. The MRI rates at 10 and 20 years were 31.4% and 49.8%, respectively. Multivariate analysis retained age and mitotic count tended to significance for predicting OS. The factors influencing LRI were viscera localization, radiotherapy and age. Mitotic count, tumor localization other than limb and age had independent values for MRI. Three prognostic groups for OS were defined based on the number of unfavorable prognostic factors and calculations were carried out to predict the risk of local and metastatic recurrence for individual patients. Conclusion LRI and MRI rates increased between 10 and 20 years so relapses were delayed, suggesting that long-term monitoring is useful. This study also shows that different prognostic SFT sub-groups could benefit from different therapeutic strategies and that use of a survival calculator could become standard practice in SFTs to individualize treatment based on the clinical situation.

Abstract
Fourty-one patients underwent breast reconstruction after mastectomy for cancer and reduction plasty of the second breast, over a 36-month period. These plasties were performed only for reasons of asymmetry, in the absence of any positive preoperative finding. Histologic examination using semiserial sectioning of the whole excised sample detected a high frequency of unsuspected cancer 14/41 (34%). There was a strong predominance of in situ carcinomas 11/41 (27%) over invasive carcinomas 3/41 (7%). These results were compared with those of other bilateral cancer series. When such cancers were detected by random biopsies or mastectomies, the rate of in situ carcinomas was much greater than in cancers detected only by physical and mammographic examination.

Abstract
From 1980 to 1984, we observed 144 undifferentiated cancers, of which 116 (0.9% of all cancers treated during this period) were treated in our center. Immunohistochemical study classified 130 tumors (90%), which comprised 82 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (57%), 32 carcinomas (22%), 7 melanomas (5%), 7 sarcomas (5%) and 2 others (1%). Sixty-nine patients, with the diagnostic problem of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma versus carcinoma, which was solved by immunohistology, were followed up for 44 ± 20 months. Lymphomas (57 cases) had a better clinical course than carcinomas (11 cases), and a clinical course similar to high-grade lymphomas identified by conventional histology. For 66 patients with the same problem, the treatment was started before the immunohistochemical diagnosis. This treatment was inappropriate in the light of the correct diagnosis in 16 of 66 cases (24% of all cases).

Abstract
A case of atypical fibromyxoid tumor of the urinary bladder in a 32-year-old woman is reported. The patient had never complained of urinary symptoms, and bladder tumefaction was revealed fortuitously at pelvic ultrasound. Cystoscopy revealed a peanut-sized mass. Microscopically, the lesion was composed of strap- and tadpole-shaped cells resembling rhabdo-myoblasts. For this reason, the tumor was initially diagnosed as embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. However, immunohistochemical study was negative for muscle origin, and the tumor has subsequently proved benign. The reported case illustrates the value of immunohistochemical study in the evaluation of the true type of bizarre stroma cells in this pseudo-sarco-matous lesion. Their recognition is important, because the therapeutic consequences of misinterpreting this tumor as a sarcoma are great.

Abstract
An immunohistochemical study of 5 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast was performed with antibodies against keratin, EMA, vimentin, S-100 protein, alpha-smooth muscle actin and collagen IV. Results show the following: 1) ACC may be diagnosed and differentiated from ductal carcinoma (invasive or in situ). The key to diagnosis is positivity within tumor masses of alpha-smooth muscle actin, a specific marker for myoepithelial cells. Actin-rich cells are not generally observed in ductal carcinomas, except at the periphery of a few invaded ducts, corresponding to a residual myoepithelial cell layer. Other markers may be positive in both ACC and ductal carcinoma; these are not specific and only the percentage and distribution of positive cells are helpful for diagnosis (small clusters of keratin-positive cells in ACC « versus » most positive cells in ductal carcinoma). 2) The functional pleomorphism of the cell population is underlined with cells differentiating towards epithelium and myoepithelium stained by corresponding markers, and undifferentiated cells unstained by any marker. These results confirm the value of an immunohistochemical study in the diagnosis of ACC of the breast.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The natural history of localized high-grade sarcomas of the digestive tract (SDT) excluding GIST has been rarely considered owing to their low incidence and heterogeneity. We describe the histoclinical characteristics of SDT and correlate them with patients' outcomes. METHODS We retrospectively collected medical files from a European database covering connective tissue tumors listed in Europe for about twenty years. Only untreated localized primary high-grade SDT were included. A central histological review was performed for each case. Patients' characteristics were compared and correlated with clinical outcomes. RESULTS A total of 45 patients were identified. Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) and undifferentiated sarcomas (UDS) were predominant, the former having better overall survival (OS) and progressionfree survival (PFS) while the latter having a worse outcome than the other histological types. Complete remission was obtained in 34 patients (75%) and was associated with male sex, age over 40 years and monofocal tumor. Complete surgery and LMS histology were associated with a better prognosis without any significant difference in baseline characteristics or in treatment modalities. CONCLUSION Complete surgery and histological type seem to be prognostic indicators of SDT. These results suggest the importance of treating these patients in a reference center.

Abstract
This article focuses on families of round cell sarcomas other than classical Ewing sarcomas. Until recently, these tumors were referred to as so-called Ewing-like tumors, as they morphologically resemble Ewing sarcomas but are negative for canonical fusion transcripts of Ewing sarcomas involving gene members of the ETS family of transcription factors. Clinicopathologic and molecular evidence has dramatically influenced the diagnostic approach of these tumors in recent years. Molecular data that support these sarcoma subtypes are biologically distinct from those of Ewing sarcomas, thereby advocating discarding the all-embracing and confusing terminology of "Ewing-like tumors."

Abstract
11014 Background: Two large phase III studies have shown an improved overall survival in soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) pts treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The prognostic impact of pathologic response is not known neither the clinical, radiological and genetic features associated with response. Methods: Data from pts with localized STS of the extremities or trunk wall and treated with anthracyline-based NAC at Institut Bergonie (Bordeaux, France) were reviewed. Central pathology (diagnosis, histological response) and radiology (MRI, DCE-MRI) reviews were performed for all the cases. A good histological response (GR) was defined as <10% residual viable tumor. Exome and RNA sequencing of pre-treatment tumor samples was performed in order to identify genetic aberrations predictive of response. Results: 150 patients (88 male) were included in the study. Median age was 60 years (17-84). 40 pts (26.7%) were good responders. GR was associated with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas and very large tumors (> 20 cm). Median OSwas 10.3 year [IC95 : 5.8 ; 14.9]. On multivariate analysis, only GR (HR= 0.36, 95%CI 0.184-0.703, p=0.0028) and performance status (PS) (HR= 3.799, 95%CI 1.72-8.387, p=0.001 for PS=2-3) were prognostic factors for OS. Early DCE- MRI parameters (after 2 cycles of treatment) such as, area under the contrast concentration vs. time curve for 90 seconds after contrast injection ( IAUC90) were strongly associated with histological response (p=0.027) whereas RECIST 1.1 was not. Conclusions: As for bone sarcomas, histological response to NAC is a crucial prognostic factor in STS. Multiparametric MRI parameters obtained post-2nd cycle of NAC are predictive of histological response and should be considered to adjust the therapeutic strategy. Genetic features (including the CINSARC signature) associated with response to NAC will be presented at the meeting.

Abstract
Purpose: This phase I study aimed to determine the recommended dose (RD), safety profile, and feasibility of a procedure combining intratumoral injection of hafnium oxide nanoparticles (NBTXR3; a radioenhancer) and external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for preoperative treatment of adults with locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS).Experimental Design: Patients had a preoperative indication of EBRT for STS of the extremity or trunk. Baseline tumor volume (TV) was calculated by MRI. NBTXR3 was injected percutaneously into tumors at 53.3 g/L. Dose escalation was based on four levels equivalent to 2.5%, 5%, 10%, and 20% of baseline TV. NBTXR3 was visualized in the tumor 24 hours postinjection, and EBRT was initiated (50 Gy over 5 weeks). Surgery was performed 6 to 8 weeks after EBRT completion.Results: Twenty-two patients completed NBTXR3 injection, EBRT, and surgery and were followed for a median 22 months (range, 6-40). At NBTXR3 20% of TV, two dose-limiting toxicities occurred: injection-site pain and postoperative scar necrosis. The RD was defined as 10%. No leakage of NBTXR3 into surrounding tissues occurred; intratumor NBTXR3 levels were maintained during radiotherapy. At the RD, median tumor shrinkage was 40% (range 71% shrinkage, 22% increase); median percentage of residual viable tumor cells was 26% (range, 10%-90%). Patients receiving 20% of TV demonstrated pathologic complete responses. Seven grade 3 adverse events occurred, which were reversible.Conclusions: A single intratumoral injection of NBTXR3 at 10% of TV with preoperative EBRT was technically feasible with manageable toxicity; clinical activity was observed.

Abstract
While investigating cohorts of unclassified sarcomas by RNA sequencing, we identified 19 cases with inactivation of SMARCA4, which encodes an ATPase subunit of BAF chromatin-remodeling complexes. Clinically, the cases were all strikingly similar, presenting as compressive mediastino-pulmonary masses in 30- to 35-year-old adults with a median survival time of 7 months. To help define the nosological relationships of these tumors, we compared their transcriptomic profiles with those of SMARCA4-mutated small-cell carcinomas of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHTs), SMARCB1-inactivated malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRTs) and lung carcinomas (of which 10% display SMARCA4 mutations). Gene profiling analyses demonstrated that these tumors were distinct from lung carcinomas but related to MRTs and SCCOHTs. Transcriptome analyses, further validated by immunohistochemistry, highlighted strong expression of SOX2, a marker that supports the differential diagnosis of these tumors from SMARCA4-deficient lung carcinomas. The prospective recruitment of cases confirmed this new category of 'SMARCA4-deficient thoracic sarcomas' as readily recognizable in clinical practice, providing opportunities to tailor their therapeutic management.

Abstract
Abstract
Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) represents 15% of adult sarcomas. Once metastatic, curative options are limited and innovative strategies are needed. TYRO3 and AXL proto-oncogenes belong to TAM family (Tyro3/Axl/Mer) of tyrosine kinase receptors, with oncogenic properties that are often overexpressed or activated in various malignancies. Using kinexus phosphoprotein microarrays (KAM-1.1) and western blot analyses, we evidenced that Tyro3 and Axl are overexpressed in LMS along with Gas6, their ligand. Interestingly LMS samples harbouring high levels of Gas6 and its receptors also presented AKT phosphorylation on S473 residue keeping with previous studies that highlighted AKT- mTOR activation in leiomyosarcomas. Based on these premises, we asked whether Tyro3-Axl axis may drive LMS proliferation and could represent potential targets in these tumors. The overexpression of Tyro3 was found to be associated with a specific miRNA signature, notably with an overexpression of miR22 in LMS tumors. Furthermore Tyro3 and Axl were found overexpressed in a panel of 6 LMS cell lines (SK-LMS-1 from ATCC and IB112, IB118, IB133, IB134 and IB136 from Institut Bergonié), compared with normal human smooth muscle. Tyro3 or Axl knockdown via shRNA retroviral vector reduced cell proliferation by up to 50 and 64% respectively and decreased soft agar colony-forming ability. Crizotinib and foretinib are two tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) targeting Met and Axl. Treatment of LMS cell lines with both TKIs resulted in a significant increase in cell death, with IC50 values ranging from 3.6 to 14.6µM and 0.7 to 1.8µM, respectively. Annexin V and PI staining revealed that cell death was mainly due to apoptosis. Flow cytometric cell cycle analysis demonstrates that both TKIs altered cell cycle phase distribution. A sub-G1 phase accumulation was observed for one of the cell lines; meanwhile the other cell lines presented a G2 arrest and 4n chromosomes accumulation accompanied by an increase in cell and nucleus sizes. Only foretinib induced nuclear fragmentation consistent with late apoptosis. Pharmacological inhibition also reduced migration and colony formation in soft agar. Drug combinations with an AKT inhibitor led to significant increase in growth inhibition in all tested cell lines. Crizotinib and foretinib reduced activation of Tyro3 or Axl-mediated downstream signaling including MAPK/ERK, PI3K/AKT along with an inhibition of Axl phosphorylation in a dose dependent manner. By immunoprecipitation we observed also a reduction in Tyro3 phosphorylation, following exposure to both agents, showing that Tyro3 is a new target for those drugs. IHC analysis of Tyro3, Axl and Gas6 expression in a cohort of LMS patient is ongoing. In vivo analysis wil be performed. In conclusion these results strongly suggest that Tyro3 and Axl are relevant therapeutic targets for LMS treatment and will be investigated in a proof of concept clinical trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synovial sarcoma (SS) is an aggressive soft-tissue tumor. Despite being considered as a chemosensitive disease, the real impact of perioperative chemotherapy on metastasis-free survival (MFS) is controversial. We have shown that metastatic relapse of SS is strongly associated with genomic complexity. There are no data regarding the potential correlation between genomic complexity and response to chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study population included 65 SS patients diagnosed between 1991 and 2013 and with available tissue material. Genomic profiling was carried out by using array-CGH. Forty-five SS out of the 65 patients were treated with neoadjuvant anthracycline/ifosfamide-based chemotherapy. Radiological response was assessed according to RECIST criteria. Histological response was defined by the percentage of recognizable tumor cells on the surgical specimen. RESULTS Genomic complexity was significantly associated with MFS. However, there was no statistically significant association between radiological or histological response and genomic complexity. CONCLUSION The absence of significant association between response to chemotherapy and genomic complexity suggests that the prognostic value of chromosome instability in SS is independent of response to chemotherapy; mechanisms leading to metastatic relapse of SS are intrinsic to the biology of the tumor and current cytotoxic drugs are only poorly efficient to prevent it.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soft-tissue sarcomas (STSs) are rare tumors with varied histological presentations. Management and treatment are thus complex, but crucial for patient outcomes. We assess adherence to adult STS management guidelines across two French regions (10% of the French population). We also report standardized incidence. PATIENTS AND METHODS STS patients diagnosed from 1 November 2006 to 31 December 2007 were identified from pathology reports, medical hospital records, and cancer registries. Guideline adherence was assessed by 23 criteria (validated by Delphi consensus method), and age and sex-standardized incidence rates estimated. Associations between patient, treatment, and institutional factors and adherence with three major composite criteria relating to diagnostic imaging and biopsy as well as multidisciplinary team (MDT) case-review are reported. RESULTS Two hundred and seventy-four patients were included (57.7% male, mean age 60.8 years). Practices were relatively compliant overall, with over 70% adherence for 10 criteria. Three criteria with perfect Delphi consensus had low adherence: receiving histological diagnosis before surgery, adequacy of histological diagnosis (adherence around 50% for both), and MDT discussion before surgery (adherence <30%). Treatment outside of specialized centers was associated with lower adherence for all three composite criteria, and specific tumor sites and/or features were associated with lower adherence for diagnostic imaging, methods, and MDT meetings. STS standardized incidence rates were 4.09 (European population) and 3.33 (World) /100 000 inhabitants. CONCLUSIONS Initial STS diagnosis and treatment across all stages (imaging, biopsy, and MDT meetings) need improving, particularly outside specialized centers. Educational interventions to increase surgeon's sarcoma awareness and knowledge and to raise patients' awareness of the importance of seeking expert care are necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcomas represent a heterogeneous group of tumors. Accurate determination of histological diagnosis and prognostic factors is critical for the delineation of treatment strategies. The contribution of second opinion (SO) to improve diagnostic accuracy has been suggested for sarcoma but has never been established in population-based studies. METHODS Histological data of patients diagnosed with sarcoma in Rhone-Alpes (France), Veneto (Italy) and Aquitaine (France) over a 2-year period were collected. Initial diagnoses were systematically compared with SO from regional and national experts. RESULTS Of 2016 selected patients, 1463 (73%) matched the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Full concordance between primary diagnosis and SO (the first pathologist and the expert reached identical conclusions) was observed in 824 (56%) cases, partial concordance (identical diagnosis of connective tumor but different grade or histological subtype) in 518 (35%) cases and complete discordance (benign versus malignant, different histological type or invalidation of the diagnosis of sarcoma) in 121 (8%) cases. The major discrepancies were related to histological grade (n = 274, 43%), histological type (n = 144, 24%), subtype (n = 18, 3%) and grade plus subtype or grade plus histological type (n = 178, 29%). CONCLUSION More than 40% of first histological diagnoses were modified at second reading, possibly resulting in different treatment decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS) prognosis remains poor and few cytotoxic agents offer proven efficacy. This randomized open phase III study examines whether high-dose (HD) chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) could improve overall survival (OS) of chemosensitive patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Advanced STS patients aged 18-65 years received four courses of standard mesna, adryamycin, ifosfamide and dacarbazine (MAID) treatment. Chemotherapy-responding patients and patients with at least stable disease amenable to complete surgical resection were randomized to receive standard dose (SD) with two successive MAID cycles or HD treatments of one MAID then MICE intensification: mesna (3.6 g/m(2), day 1-5), ifosfamide (2.5 g/m(2), day 1-4), carboplatin [area under the curve (AUC) 5/day 2-4] and etoposide (300 mg/m(2), day 1-4) with PBSC reinjection at day 7. RESULTS From 2000 to 2008, 207 patients received four cycles of MAID and 87 assessable patients were randomly assigned to receive the following: 46 SD, 41 HD, with 45 and 38 maintained for analyses after secondary centralized histological review. Futility analyses led to study closure in November 2008. Three-year OS was 49.4% for the SD group versus 32.7% for HD arm, hazard ratio= 1.26, 95% confidence interval 0.70-2.29; progression-free survival was 32.4% and 14.0%, respectively. HD treatment led to higher grades 3-4 toxicity. CONCLUSION This study failed to show an OS advantage for advanced STS patients treated with dose-intensified chemotherapy with PBSC.

Abstract
Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is an exceedingly rare tumour of the pancreas with a high recurrence rate and a poor prognosis. Only 11 cases have been reported in the past in the English literature. In this report, the authors present the case of a 45-year-old man who was first operated on for a primary MFH of the pancreas. Eleven months after the surgery, he was diagnosed with a tumoural recurrence presenting as hepatic and pulmonary metastasis. The patient underwent a multidisciplinary treatment of chemotherapy, percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, and a right hepatectomy combined with intraoperative radiofrequency ablation. Under multidisciplinary treatment, the patient fully recovered. He remains disease-free 3 years after his first surgery and 25 months after the recurrence. We report a case of a primary MFH of the pancreas treated by using a multidisciplinary approach resulting in an above average survival rate. Although further cases and longer follow-up periods are necessary to conclude about the role of multidisciplinary treatment in the long-term prognosis of primary MFH of the pancreas, we believe that multidisciplinary treatment could improve the survival rates of other patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Rationale
TP 53 is frequently mutated in some sarcoma subtypes and its mutation status has been reported to be correlated to survival in some studies. We investigated whether TP53 status may play a role in determining outcome following resection of the primary tumor.
Material and methods
The functional status of p53 was tested in a retrospective series of 117 patients of the French Sarcoma Group with localized grade 2or 3 STS treated with surgery, followed by radiotherapy (70) and/or chemotherapy (37%) in whom frozen pre-treatment material was available. FASAY (Functional Analysis of Separated Alleles in Yeast) was used to test the functional properties of p53. Statistical analysis were performed using SPSS 16.0.
Results
The diagnosis and primary surgery was performed between April 1990 and March 2006. Median follow up was 10,5 years. There were 62% males 38% females, aged 16 to 92 (median 64) with 74% primary locations of the limbs, 26 trunk or H&N respectively. Major histotypes were MFH/undifferentiated (32%) leiomyosarcomas (LMS, 27%), liposarcomas (LPS, 16%), while grade 2 and 3 represented 27% and 73% respectively Functional inactivation of p53 was observed in 31 tumors (29%), and was not correlated to age, gender, site, histotype, with the exception of dedifferentiated LPS which never expressed a no functional p53 (0/12 vs 31/100, p=0.01). Mutations were more frequently observed in grade 3 vs grade 2 (33% vs 13%, p=0.03). 70% patients received adjuvant radiotherapy, and 17% received adjuvant chemotherapy (AdjCT). Adjuvant RT was not correlated to RFS and OS. Adjuvant CT was associated with a better RFS (trend p=0.07) and a better OS (p=0.008). P53 mutation was correlated marginally to a worse OS (p=0.03), and a worse RFS (p=0.03) in univariate analysis. Similar results were obtained when the DDLPS subgroup of patients- with mdm2 amplification, was removed from the group (p=0.01 and 0.006 for RFS and OS). Using Cox model with gender, age, size, LPS histology, depth, R, grade, trunk sites, p53, adjCT), only the last three were independently correlated to OS, while size, p53, and adjCT were retained by the model for RFS. In the WT p53 group, adjCT improved RFS (trend p=0,07) and OS (p=0,007). RT improved significantly RFS (p=0.001) and marginally OS (0.06). In Cox model in the WT group, tumor size, adjCT for RFS, and gender, DDLPS and adjCT for OS were the only independent factors Conversely, in the MUT p53 group, OS and RFS were super-imposable with adjuvant CT and adjuvant RT trending towards a worse outcome in the CT+ and RT+ subgroups.
Conclusion:
Mutations of p53 using Fasay correlated to RFS and OS and to a limited or no benefit of adjuvant CT for RFS and OS. A prospective series is required to confirm this observation which may be helpful for patient selection in the future.

Abstract
Imaging and histology are two complementary morphological techniques which play a fundamental role in the diagnosis and management of soft tissue sarcomas. Imaging allows to identify some pseudosarcomatous benign lesions such as myositis ossificans, intramuscular hemangioma, angiomyolipoma, intramuscular lipoma, giant cell tumour of tendon sheath, desmoid tumour and elastofibroma. There is no formal criterion for diagnosing a sarcoma on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but malignancy is strongly suspected with the presence of necrosis and vascular, bone or joint invasion. Imaging may also suggest some histological types of sarcoma such as well-differentiated liposarcoma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma, synovial sarcoma or extraskeletal osteosarcoma. Imaging is also extremely helpful in determining the appropriate kind of sampling to carry out and in guiding the performance of a microbiopsy. The appearance observed on imaging should always be taken into consideration for the interpretation of the microbiopsy by the pathologist.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of desmoid tumours, previously based on strategies employed for sarcomas, should be reassessed, given the morbidity of interventions used in their treatment. METHODS Long-term follow-up (median 123 months) of a series of 106 treated patients with 69 primary and 37 recurrent desmoids, in order to study natural history and outcome. RESULTS Desmoids typically evolved actively over a median period of 3 years, and stabilised thereafter. Recurrences or progression most commonly occurred between 14 and 17 months. Risk factors for recurrence were presentation (primary vs. recurrent), gender, tumour location and resection margins. However, survival was independent from these factors, with equivalent survival whether resection had been performed or not. Tumour control and functional outcome depended on location and presentation. Functional impairment was proportional to number of operations and whether patients had received radiotherapy. Recurrences were observed in 12/23 patients after radiotherapy. CONCLUSION Desmoids are relatively indolent tumours needing different approaches than sarcomas. Direct surgery is advisable only in primary lower trunk wall/girdle locations. Wait-and-see and medical treatment is preferable in other types of presentations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiosarcomas are rare, heterogeneous and a retrospective study was conducted to describe their natural history. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed 161 files of angiosarcoma treated in three institutions of the French Sarcoma Group from 1980 to 2004. Survival and prognostic factors for survival were analyzed. RESULTS Median age was 52 years. Primary sites were the breast (35%), skin (20%) and soft tissues (13%). At initial diagnosis, 31 (19%) had metastases. Surgery was the first treatment in 121 (75%) patients combined with chemotherapy or radiotherapy in 34 and 32, respectively. Ninety (74%) of these 121 patients relapsed, mostly locally (50). With an average time since initial diagnosis of 8.1 years, 123 (76%) patients progressed and 76 (47%) died. Median survival was 3.4 years [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.4-5.8], and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 43% (95% CI 33-53). In multivariate analysis, liver primary site [relative risk (RR) = 12.62], performance status (PS) of two or more (RR = 3.83), presence of metastases at diagnosis (RR = 2.50), soft tissue tumor (RR = 0.31) were correlated to OS. PS, liver and soft tissue tumors were identified as independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival. CONCLUSIONS Angiosarcomas have an overall poor outcome, but with a clearly distinct prognosis depending on the primary site.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare type of soft tissue sarcomas with a high risk of recurrence both local and distant. The place of surgical conservative treatment and the role of radiation therapy remain controversial. PATIENTS AND METHODS A serie of 9 consecutive patients treated with initial conservative surgery and postoperative radiotherapy (median dose of 52.8 Gy) from 1987 to 2006 in the same institution was analyzed. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 40 months (range 15-153 months), the rate of local, nodal and distant relapse is respectively 56%, 11% and 33%. The rate of death is 44.5%. No imputation has been performed. CONCLUSION Even with a high rate of local relapse observed, a conservative treatment doesn't seem to influence badly the overall survival (55.5% alive at 40 months). Indeed the rate of distant relapse and death are comparable with those found in the literature. Moreover relapse occurred almost within the irradiated volumes. An improvement of dose could be also discussed.

Abstract
Over the last fifteen years, pathology underwent significant changes in the field of soft tissue tumours. They were related to considerable advances in molecular biology and genetics. New data led to the revision of the WHO classification. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is no longer considered as an entity. It has split up into several subgroups belonging to liposarcomas, leiomyosarcomas or undifferentiated sarcomas. Haemangiopericytoma underwent reappraisal and was put in the same category as solitary fibrous tumour. Many tools have improved. Immunohistochemistry performed with new antibodies had its specificity increased, and became appropriate for the prediction of therapeutic response in some cases, e.g. CD117 detecting mutations of the c-kit proto-oncogen in gastro-intestinal stromal tumours. Refinement of the techniques allows accurate diagnoses from core needle biopsies. Surgical specimens are collegially examined by surgeons and pathologists with special attention paid to resection margins. Although bound by some limitations, the grading system of the French Federation of Cancer Centers has currently remained the best predictor of metastasis-free survival and overall survival of patients. It is based on an assessment of three parameters: differentiation, amount of necrosis, and mitotic count of tumours. The pathologist sets up a diagnosis, and actively takes part in the prediction of the prognosis and therapeutic response. He is one of the major participants in decision making for multimodal treatment of sarcomas.

Abstract
Atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma (ALT-WDLPS) and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) may be difficult to distinguish from benign adipose tumors and from poorly differentiated sarcomas, respectively. Genetically, they are characterized by amplification of MDM2 and CDK4 genes on chromosome 12q13-15. We examined a series of 559 soft tissue tumors (44 ALT-WDLPS, 61 DDLPS, 49 benign adipose tumors, and 405 non-ALT-WDLPS/DDLPS sarcomas) for MDM2 and CDK4 expression using immunohistochemistry. MDM2 and CDK4 immunoexpressions were compared with gene amplification status (as assessed by quantitative PCR and/or comparative genomic hybridization) in 241 neoplasms. Most ALT-WDLPS/DDLPS expressed MDM2 (97%) and CDK4 (92%) as opposed to few benign adipose tumors (MDM2, 5%; CDK4, 2%) and a limited number of non-ALT-WDLSP/DDLPS sarcomas (MDM2, 19%; CDK4, 6%). The sensitivity and specificity of MDM2 and CDK4 immunostainings in identifying ALT-WDLPS/DDLPS among other soft tissue tumors were 97% and 92%, and 83% and 95%, respectively. MDM2 and CDK4 immunostainings were particularly useful to separate ALT-WDLPS from the large group of differentiated adipose tumors, and to distinguish DDLPS from poorly differentiated sarcomas. A strong correlation was observed between MDM2 and CDK4 stainings and gene amplification status. In conclusion, MDM2 and CDK4 immunostainings, which correlate with gene amplification, are helpful adjuncts to differentiate ALT-WDLPS from benign adipose tumors and to separate DDLPS from poorly differentiated sarcomas.

Abstract
Atypical lipomatous tumours/well-differentiated liposarcomas and dedifferentiated liposarcomas are characterized by 12q13-15 region amplification. In contrast, this molecular event has not been reported in benign lipomas. Within the 12q13-15 chromosomal region, the MDM2, SAS, HMGA2, and CDK4 genes are the most frequent targets of amplification. A series of lipomas (36 cases) and liposarcomas (48 cases) was analysed for MDM2 and CDK4 gene amplification by real-time PCR. MDM2 and CDK4 gene amplification was detected in 2.8% and 5.6% of lipomas and 98.2% and 82.4% of liposarcomas, respectively. Moreover, co-amplification of the two genes as well as a higher-level amplification was observed more frequently in dedifferentiated liposarcomas than in atypical lipomatous tumours/well-differentiated liposarcomas. Real-time PCR proved to be a fast and reliable method to characterize lipomas and liposarcomas by quantification of MDM2 and CDK4 gene amplification. It is applicable to paraffin wax-embedded tissues and could be useful when histological diagnosis is difficult.

Abstract
Breast papillary lesions are difficult to interpret and include a large variety of benign, atypical and malignant lesions. We report the case of a 41-Year-old woman presenting with an intracystic papillary carcinoma, in order to illustrate our pragmatic diagnostic approach, which includes the use of a decision tree, useful for differentiating the different types of breast papillary lesions.

Abstract
CONTEXT The Standards, Options and Recommendations (SOR) project, which started in 1993, is a collaboration between the Federation of French Cancer Centers (FNCLCC), the 20 French Regional Cancer Centers, and specialists from French public universities, general hospitals and private clinics. The main objective is the development of clinical practice guidelines to improve the quality of health care and the outcome of cancer patients. OBJECTIVES To elaborate practice guidelines for difficult diagnoses in surgical pathology or cytopathology in cancer patients. METHODS The methodology is based on a literature review and critical appraisal by a multidisciplinary group of experts who define the CPGs according to the definitions of the Standards, Options and Recommendations project. Once the guidelines has been defined, the document is submitted for review by independent reviewers. RESULTS The main recommendations to prevent and reduce the number of difficult diagnoses in surgical pathology or cytopathology are: The main recommendations to detect lesions associated with difficult diagnosis in surgical pathology or cytopathology are: The main recommendations to solve difficult diagnosis in surgical pathology or cytopathology are:

Abstract
The alpha isoform of Topoisomerase IIalpha (Topo IIalpha) is a proliferation marker as well as a target for several chemotherapeutic agents such as anthracyclines. In vitro studies have demonstrated the relationship between the Topo IIalpha expression level and chemosensitivity of target cancer cells. To verify this effect in vivo, we selected 125 patients presenting with T(2)>3 cm and T(3) N(0-1) M(0) breast tumours who were treated by six cycles of primary chemotherapy, including epirubicin before any surgery. Therapy response was assessed by clinical and X-ray mammogram measurements of tumour shrinkage. The pretherapeutic core biopsies were immunostained with a monoclonal antibody (Ki-S7) against Topo IIalpha. Ki-S7 positivity ranged from 0 to 50% (median, 15%). A high percentage of Ki-S7-positive cells (>15%) was associated with tumour regression under chemotherapy (OR=2.88, CI: 1.3-6.4, P=0.004). Ki-S7 further emerged as an independent predictor of tumour regression (OR=3.34, CI: 1.41-7.93, P=0.006), together with tumour size of less than 40 mm (OR=3.82, CI: 1.58-9.25, P=0.002) and negative oestrogen receptor (ER) status (OR=3.35, CI: 1.43-7.86, P=0.005), in a multivariate analysis including tumour size, SBR grade, ER and PR status, Ki-67, p53 and Her-2/neu. Our clinical results confirm in vitro data on the relationship between Topo IIalpha expression and tumour chemosensitivity and thus may have important practical implications.
