Q

Principles of therapy for NRSTS

A
  • 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.

32
Q

what location is most common for RMS?

A

head and neck is most common

followed by GU tract

33
Q

how do you stage a RMS (from a classification standpoint?)

A

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?

A

Group I ERMS

35
Q

which chemotherapy agent in RMS treatment is a radiosensitizer?

A

Dactinomycin

36
Q

what are the 3 most common locations for OS?

A

metaphysis of
1-distal femur
2-proximal tibia
3-proximal humerus

37
Q

what are the theoretical advantages for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in OS?

A
  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
Q

what are the preliminary results of AOST0331?

A

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
Q

for relapsed OS what salvage regimens can be used

A

high dose ifosfamide with etoposide
Gemcitabine and docetaxel

should do full resection if able
radiation can be used for palliation

40

p53
NF-1 (MPNST)
FAP (desmoid-type fibromatosis)
