LEARNING OBJECTIVES

PRESENTED BY: DIAN WANG, MD., PH.D., RUSH UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

Following this presentation, the participant should have improved knowledge of:

•Advances in Radiation Therapy (RT) technology for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma (STS)

•Evidence to support adjunctive RT for STS including both pre- and post – operative RT

•Recent combination studies on RT and targeted agents for STS

QUESTION 1

When compared to staging soft tissue sarcoma in

the AJCC 7th edition, staging in the AJCC 8th

edition NO LONGER includes the following:

A. T1-4 is based on tumor size

B. T1-4 is based on tumor depth

C. Grade is important

D. N1 or M1 is equally considered for stage IV

Ashamalla et al 2019

NCDB database 2004-2014: of 82,987, 55,417 met inclusion criteria

PRESENTED BY: DIAN WANG

Conclusion

Ashamalla et al 2019

In adult STS, including those of the trunk and

extremity, OS is superior with N1M0 compared

with N0-1M1 disease. These results suggest

that the AJCC 8th edition grouping of N1 and

M1 patients into stage IV may obscure the

more favorable prognosis of patients with

N1M0 disease.

PREOP VS. POSTOP RT

PRESENTED BY: DIAN WANG, MD., PH.D., RUSH UNIV. MED. CENTER

• Preop and postop RT are options for extremity STS

• Preop RT associated with acute wound complications

• IMRT, especially pre-op, significantly reduces late morbidity (joint stiffness, lymphedema, fibrosis et al)

• Smaller RT volume and reduced RT dose

• Might facilitate resection and reduce the risk for tumor seeding during the surgery

• Reserve Resection & postop RT

• Uncertain histology after initial biopsy if info critical for systemic treatment

• Lower extremity STS in pts with co-morbidities, at high risk for wound complications poor healing.

• Very small tumor & expectation that No RT will be required

QUESTION 2

The DRAWBACK for preoperative radiation for

extremity soft tissue sarcoma, when compared to

postoperative radiation, is the following:

A. More LATE toxicities such as fibrosis, joint stiffness,

and lymphedema.

B. Higher radiation dose.

C. Larger radiation target volumes.

D. More ACUTE wound complications.

Key Scientific Findings

pCR is associated with improved

survival outcomes in STS pts treated

with either neoadjuvant RT or CT-RT

from long-term update of these two

multicenter prospective studies

Local failure rate was 0% in pts with

pCR vs. 5-year 11.7% and 9.1% for

pts with <pCR in 9514 and 0630,

respectively.

Leiomyosarcoma, myxoid/round cell

liposarcoma, and myxofibrosarcoma

are associated with better OS while

liposarcoma/myxofibrosarcoma are

associated with better DFS

HYPOTHESIS AND OBJECTIVES:

• Biologic Hypothesis: AMG-232 and radiotherapy will have additive or synergistic anti-tumor

activity in p53 WT STS.

• Clinical Hypothesis: Preoperative AMG-232 +radiotherapy is safe/well tolerated and shows

preliminary efficacy in STS.

• Primary objectives:

• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG-232 in combination with standard-dose

radiotherapy in STS in two separate cohorts;

• To determine the MTD/RP2D of AMG-232 in combination with radiotherapy.

• DLT includes all grade 3-5 toxicities up to 4 weeks after AMG-232+RT treatment.

• Secondary Objectives:

• To determine % necrosis and pCR in final surgical resection specimen;• To determine % LC, PFS and OS at 2 years;• To determine PD effects of AMG-232 when combined with radiotherapy by

assessing serial serum Macrophage Inhibitory Cytokine (MIC)-1 levels; • To correlate AMG-232 exposure-response relationships (PD, toxicity, and

efficacy).

CONCLUSIONS

PRESENTED BY: DIAN WANG, MD., PH.D., RUSH UNIV. MED. CENTER

• Perioperative RT is required for many soft tissue sarcoma of extremity

• Both preop RT and postop RT are equivalent in clinical outcomes

• Preop RT, esp. IG-IMRT late toxicities, but acute wound complications mainly in low extremity

• Co-administration of angiogenesis inhibitor Pazopanib enhances pCR rate in patients with high grade STS treated with neoadjuvant chemoRT

• Correlation of pCR with survival outcomes: pending

• Future priority on RT for STS: Identification of new targeted agents in combination with modern RT

• Participation in the clinical studies such as NRG DT 001b STS trial is highly recommended.

PATHOLOGY – RETROPERITONEAL SARCOMA

• Common histologies:• Liposarcoma: All types may show lipoblasts

• Well-differentiated liposarcoma (WD)/Atypical lipomatous tumor (ALT)

• Dedifferentiated liposarcoma

• Pleomorphic liposarcoma

• Myxoid- (inclusive of round-cell) liposarcoma

• Leiomyosarcoma• Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma (UPS)/Undifferentiated or

Unclassified SarcomasDS Strayer. Rubin’s Pathology Ch 30, 2020CDM Fletcher. WHO Classification, 2013

Well-differentiated liposarcoma (WD):A locally aggressive neoplasm composed of mature adipocytic proliferation with variation in cell size and at least focal nuclear atypia in adipocytes and stromal cells.

Dedifferentiated liposarcoma: WD liposarcoma showing progression, either in the primary or in a recurrence, to (usually non-lipogenic) sarcoma of variable histological grade. In most cases there is substantial amplification of MDM2. A well-differentiated component may not be identifiable. Rarely, the high-grade component may be lipogenic.

RETROPERITONEAL SARCOMA

• Well-differentiated liposarcoma and G1- G2 de-differentiated liposarcoma, the 2 most common histological subtypes originating at this site, predominantly fail locally

• High grade dedifferentiated liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma are characterized by a high metastatic risk, which portends a dismal prognosis, with a risk of death of > 70% at 5 yrs

MCB Tan. Ann Surg 2016; 263: 593A Gronchi. Ann Surg 2016; 263: 1002

RECAP:

A dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS):Has the histological hallmark of a transition from ALT/well-differentiated liposarcoma to non-lipogenic sarcoma, which, in most cases, is of high grade. In addition, DDLPS most often has ring or giant marker chromosomes wherein MDM2 is consistently amplified and over-expressed.

STRASS 2: RANDOMIZED PHASE III STUDY OF NEOADJUVANT CHEMO FOLLOWED BY SURGERY

VS SURGERY ALONE FOR HIGH RISK RETROPERITONEAL SARCOMA

• Systemic chemo has the potential to address the metastatic risk and improve relapse free survival and overall survival

• The neoadjuvant setting is preferable as it allows assessment of drugefficacy, immediately address the systemic risk, and study tumor biology

STRASS 1 & STRASS 2 SUMMARY

• "STRASS [1] included all "adult-type" primary RPS, without distinguishing those with a high loco-regional risk from those with a more pronounced systemic risk. This is the main reason why the study failed to show a benefit of neoadjuvant radiation in the whole RPS family" - STRASS 2

QUESTIONS FOR CME CREDIT:

Which statement is true in regards to staging (per AJCC Manual v.

8th ed, 2017) of retroperitoneal sarcomas:

1. The current AJCC staging manual generalizes all sarcomas sites into 1 staging system.

2. Retroperitoneal staging does NOT include grade in the group staging.

3. The manual lumps abdominal and thoracic visceral organ sarcomas with that of

retroperitoneal sarcomas.

4. The staging system breaks up the T-stage of the sarcoma based upon size of greatest

dimension (every 5cm increments from </= 5cm for T1 up to >15cm for T4). *

RETROPERITONEAL SARCOMA• Only proven treatment modality for RPS is surgery

– Local control only ~50% at 5 years with surgery•Hard to achieve (-) margins: Tumor size and adjacent organs• Compartmental resection may reduce LR to 30-40% (Bonvalot 2009)

• Local recurrence more common with liposarcoma• If RT to be used, should be done pre-op• STRASS I study suggests potential benefit for preop RT

for patients with liposarcoma– STRASS II study to assess role of chemoRx for high grade

dediff liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma

If RT is to be used, preoperative RT is preferred

MSKCC: No Impact of (+) Margins on RPS LR• 2084 pts who underwent sarcoma resection at MSKCC

– (+) margins: RPS: 45% Head/Neck: 30% Extremity 19%– Risk for local recurrence: RPS: HR=3.1 (highest risk), P<.001– For the majority of sarcoma anatomic sites and histologies, (+) margins

were a significant risk factor for local recurrence (LR)

• 229 pts with retroperitoneal sarcomas• No significant difference in risk of LR with (+) margins

– Relative risk of LR only 1.2 with (+) vs (-)…p> 0.05 (NS)• This suggests that although margins were nominally (-) in 55% of

patients, many may have had undetected (+) margins.Stojadinovic A et al, Ann Surg 2002:235;424-34
