  1. p53
  2. FAP - desmoid fibromatosis
  3. Rb - leiomyosarcoma
  4. SMARCB1 - extra-renal rhabdoid
  5. NF-1 - MPNST
19
Q

Prognostic factors in NRSTS

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Subtype of tumor
  2. Stage (localized vs. metastatic)
  3. Group (extent of resection)
  4. Size (<5 cm vs. >5cm)
  5. Tumor grade (mitotic rate, necrosis, nuclear atypia)
20
Q

NRSTS associated with HIV/immunosuppression

Study These Flashcards
A

leiomyosarcoma

21
Q

NRSTS likely to spread to LNs

Study These Flashcards
A

Epithelioid sarcoma and clear cell sarcoma

22
Q

NRSTS most common in < 1yo

Study These Flashcards
A

Infantile fibrosarcoma and infantile hemangioperiocytoma

23
Q

Osteo:

  • cytogenetic abnormality
  • molecula abnormalities
Study These Flashcards
A

cytogenetics: chromothripsis, supernumary ring chromosome (parosteal)

Molecular: Rb, p53, RECQL4 (rothmund thompson syndrome)

24
Q

Prognostic factors in Osteosarcoma

Study These Flashcards
A
  • stage
  • number of mets
  • extent of resection
  • histology (parosteal, telangiectatic, fibroblastic are fav)
  • extent of necrosis
  • LDH/ALP
  • Tumor location (axial unfav)
  • size of tumor (9+ cm)
25
Long-term toxicity for osteo
- functional impairment from surgery - 10% risk of anthracycline related cardiotoxicity - 10% risk of ototoxicity
26
Most common translocations in Ewing's
t(11;22) EWS-FLI1 t(21;22) EWS-ERG t(7;22) EWS-ETV6
27
EWS Prognostic factors
Stage - localized vs metastatic Primary site - extremity better than pelvis Age Tumor size (<8cm better)
28
Role of radiation in EWS
- local control for those without good surgical option that preserves function - in addition to surgery for residual disease
29
Principles of therapy for NRSTS
- Surgery is critical - everyone gets RT - role of chemo is controversial - generally reserve for large (>5cm), high-grade or unresectable tumors. **note if tumor is not chemo-sensitive when deciding.
30
List non-Ewing's sarcoma with EWS fusion transcripts
* Desmoplastic small round cell tumor [t(11;22)(p13;q12), EWS-WT1 fusion] * Clear cell sarcoma [EWS-ATF1 fusion; t(12;22)(q13;112)] * Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma * Myxoid liposarcoma [EWS-CHOP fusion; t(12;22)(q13;p11)]
31
Most common sites for Osteo vs EWS
Osteo: distal femur, prox tibia, prox humerus EWS: pelvis, femur, rib
32
what location is most common for RMS?
head and neck is most common | followed by GU tract
33
how do you stage a RMS (from a classification standpoint?)
start with pre-treatment TNM to get the STAGE then do the postoperative grouping to get GROUP COG risk group is determined into low, intermediate or high risk based on the stage, group and histology
34
what group of RMS do not require radiation?
Group I ERMS
35
which chemotherapy agent in RMS treatment is a radiosensitizer?
Dactinomycin
36
what are the 3 most common locations for OS?
metaphysis of 1-distal femur 2-proximal tibia 3-proximal humerus
37
what are the theoretical advantages for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in OS?
1. decrease in tumor-related edema and shrinkage of the tumour at the primary site to allow for better surgery 2. initial chemo directed toward micromets (we know are present in 80-90% patients) 3. assessment of the sensitivity of the primary tumour to chemo which has prognostic significance
38
what are the preliminary results of AOST0331?
this was a combined study with EURAMOS those with good response (>90% necrosis) were randomized to MAP vs MAP plus pegylated interferon alpha 2B those with poor response randomized to MAP or MAPIE neither experimental arms showed a survival advantage
39
for relapsed OS what salvage regimens can be used
high dose ifosfamide with etoposide Gemcitabine and docetaxel should do full resection if able radiation can be used for palliation
40
RF for NRSTS
``` p53 NF-1 (MPNST) FAP (desmoid-type fibromatosis) SMARCB1 (extra-renal rhabdoid tumor) RB1 (leiomyomatosis) Werner's ```
