          Abstract

          Background

          NETSARC (netsarc.org) is a network of 26 sarcoma reference centers with specialized multidisciplinary tumor boards (MDTB) aiming to improve the outcome of sarcoma patients. Since 2010, presentation to an MDTB and expert pathological review are mandatory for sarcoma patients nationwide. In the present work, the impact of surgery in a reference center on the survival of sarcoma patients investigated using this national NETSARC registry.

          Patients and methods

          Patients’ characteristics and follow-up are prospectively collected and data monitored. Descriptive, uni- and multivariate analysis of prognostic factors were conducted in the entire series ( N = 35 784) and in the subgroup of incident patient population ( N = 29 497).

          Results

          Among the 35 784 patients, 155 different histological subtypes were reported. 4310 (11.6%) patients were metastatic at diagnosis. Previous cancer, previous radiotherapy, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and Li–Fraumeni syndrome were reported in 12.5%, 3.6%, 0.7%, and 0.1% of patients respectively. Among the 29 497 incident patients, 25 851 (87.6%) patients had surgical removal of the sarcoma, including 9949 (33.7%) operated in a NETSARC center. Location, grade, age, size, depth, histotypes, gender, NF1, and surgery outside a NETSARC center all correlated to overall survival (OS), local relapse free survival (LRFS), and event-free survival (EFS) in the incident patient population. NF1 history was one of the strongest adverse prognostic factors for LRFS, EFS, and OS. Presentation to an MDTB was associated with an improved LRFS and EFS, but was an adverse prognostic factor for OS if surgery was not carried out in a reference center. In multivariate analysis, surgery in a NETSARC center was positively correlated with LRFS, EFS, and OS [ P < 0.001 for all, with a hazard ratio of 0.681 (95% CI 0.618–0.749) for OS].

          Conclusion

          This nationwide registry of sarcoma patients shows that surgical treatment in a reference center reduces the risk of relapse and death.

          Descriptive epidemiology of sarcomas in Europe: Report from the RARECARE project

          Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of malignant neoplasms arising from mesenchymal cells which encompass dozens of histological types and can occur in virtually any anatomic site. They form one of the principal groups of rare cancers in Europe as defined in the RARECARE project. We analysed 45,568 incident cases diagnosed during 1995-2002 and registered by 76 population-based cancer registries. Total crude incidence was 5.6 per 100,000 per year with an estimated 27,908 new cases per year in the EU27 countries, of which 84% were soft tissue sarcomas and 14% were bone sarcomas. Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) were only widely recognised as an entity in the late 1990s and consequently were under-registered. Their true incidence is believed to be about 1.5 per 100,000. Age-standardised incidence of soft tissue sarcomas ranged from 3.3 per 100,000 in Eastern Europe to 4.7 per 100,000 in Northern Europe. About 280,000 persons were estimated to be alive at the beginning of 2003 with a past diagnosis of sarcoma, of which 83% were soft tissue sarcomas and 16% were bone sarcomas. Five-year relative survival for 2000-2002 by the period was 58% for soft tissue sarcomas and 62% for bone sarcomas. The diversity and rarity of sarcomas combined with the quite large number of people affected by them mean that they provide a classic example of the importance of networking in diagnosis, therapy and research for rare cancers.

            Incidence of Sarcoma Histotypes and Molecular Subtypes in a Prospective Epidemiological Study with Central Pathology Review and Molecular Testing

            Background The exact overall incidence of sarcoma and sarcoma subtypes is not known. The objective of the present population-based study was to determine this incidence in a European region (Rhone-Alpes) of six million inhabitants, based on a central pathological review of the cases. Methodology/Principal Findings From March 2005 to February 2007, pathology reports and tumor blocks were prospectively collected from the 158 pathologists of the Rhone-Alpes region. All diagnosed or suspected cases of sarcoma were collected, reviewed centrally, examined for molecular alterations and classified according to the 2002 World Health Organization classification. Of the 1287 patients screened during the study period, 748 met the criteria for inclusion in the study. The overall crude and world age-standardized incidence rates were respectively 6.2 and 4.8 per 100,000/year. Incidence rates for soft tissue, visceral and bone sarcomas were respectively 3.6, 2.0 and 0.6 per 100,000. The most frequent histological subtypes were gastrointestinal stromal tumor (18%; 1.1/100,000), unclassified sarcoma (16%; 1/100,000), liposarcoma (15%; 0.9/100,000) and leiomyosarcoma (11%; 0.7/100,000). Conclusions/Significance The observed incidence of sarcomas was higher than expected. This study is the first detailed investigation of the crude incidence of histological and molecular subtypes of sarcomas.

              Analysis of the prognostic significance of microscopic margins in 2,084 localized primary adult soft tissue sarcomas.

              To define the significance of positive microscopic resection margins in a large cohort treated for soft tissue sarcoma. The authors analyzed 2,084 patients with localized primary soft tissue sarcoma (all anatomic sites) treated from 1982 to 2000. Clinicopathologic variables studied included tumor site, size, depth, histologic type, grade, and resection margin status. Treatment other than resection was not analyzed. Study endpoints included local and distant recurrence-free and disease-specific survival rates, estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the log-rank test and the Cox proportional hazards model. Median follow-up was 50 months. After primary resection, 1,624 (78%) patients had negative and 460 (22%) had positive resection margins. Having positive margins nearly doubled the risk of local recurrence and increased the risk of distant recurrence and disease-related death. Seventy-two percent of patients with positive margins had no recurrence. Resection margin did not predict local control for retroperitoneal sarcomas or fibrosarcomas. Resection margin remained significantly associated with distant recurrence-free survival and disease-specific survival across all subsets after adjusting for other prognostic variables. The overall 5-year disease-specific survival rates for negative and positive margins were 83% and 75%. Positive microscopic resection margins significantly decrease the local recurrence-free survival rate for other-than-primary fibrosarcoma and retroperitoneal sarcomas, and independently predict distant recurrence-free survival rates and disease-specific survival rates for all patient subsets. Adjuvant therapy should be considered in the management of soft tissue sarcoma to increase local control. Because 72% of positive margins did not equate with inevitable local recurrence, considerable clinical judgment is required in considering additional treatment. Microscopic resection margins should be considered for inclusion in staging systems and treatment algorithms that address local recurrence.
