- Background: Outcome of relapsed disease of localized rhabdomyosarcoma remains poor. An individual treatment approach considering the initial systemic treatment and risk group was included in the Cooperative Weichteilsarkom Studiengruppe (CWS) Guidance. Methods: Second-line chemotherapy (sCHT) ACCTTIVE based on anthracyclines (adriamycin, carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, topotecan, vincristine, etoposide) was recommended for patients with initial low- (LR), standard- (SR), and high-risk (HR) group after initial treatment without anthracyclines. TECC (topotecan, etoposide, carboplatin, cyclophosphamide) was recommended after initial anthracycline-based regimen in the very high-risk (VHR) group. Data of patients with relapse (n = 68) registered in the European Soft Tissue Sarcoma Registry SoTiSaR (2009-2018) were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Patients of initial LR (n = 2), SR (n = 16), HR (n = 41), and VHR (n = 9) group relapsed. sCHT consisted of ACCTTIVE (n = 36), TECC (n = 12), or other (n = 15). Resection was performed in 40/68 (59%) patients and/or radiotherapy in 47/68 (69%). Initial risk stratification, pattern/time to relapse, and achievement of second complete remission were significant prognostic factors. Microscopically incomplete resection with additional radiotherapy was not inferior to microscopically complete resection (p =.17). The 5-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were 26% (+/- 12%) and 31% (+/- 14%). The 5-year OS of patients with relapse of SR, HR, and VHR groups was 80% (+/- 21%), 20% (+/- 16%), and 13% (+/- 23%, p =.008), respectively. Conclusion: Adapted systemic treatment of relapsed disease considering the initial risk group and initial treatment is reasonable. New treatment options are needed for patients of initial HR and VHR groups.

- Background Endothelial cell malignancies are extremely rare in childhood. New identification of genetic abnormalities (WWTR1:CAMTA1 translocation) helps to recognize potential therapeutic targets. Little is known about treatment and outcome of these patients. Methods Clinical course, treatment, and outcome in patients with endothelial cell malignancies treated within the Cooperative Weichteilsarkom Studiengruppe (CWS) trials CWS-91, -96, -2002P, and the Soft-Tissue Sarcoma Registry (SoTiSaR) were analyzed (1991-2019). Results Patients had angiosarcoma (AS) (n = 12), malignant epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) (n = 16), and kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) (n = 13). The median age was 5.39 years (range, 0.8-17.34); 33 patients had localized disease (LD), and 8 patients had metastatic disease. Therapy consisted of chemotherapy (CHT) (AS n = 8, EHE n = 9, KHE n = 5), interferon or new agent therapy (EHE n = 5, 2 KHE n = 2), microscopically or macroscopically complete resection (AS n = 3, EHE n = 6, KHE n = 3), and radiotherapy (AS n = 6, EHE n = 2, KHE n = 1). Two patients (KHE) had watch-and-wait strategy resulting in stable disease. Complete remission (CR) was achieved in AS (10/12; 83%), EHE (10/16; 63%), and KHE (5/13; 38%). The five-year EFS and OS for patients with AS was 64% (+/- 29 CI 95%) and 80% (+/- 25, CI 95%), with EHE 62% (+/- 24, CI 95%) and 78% (+/- 23, CI 95%), with KHE 33% (+/- 34, CI 95%) and 92% (+/- 15, CI 95%), respectively. Complete resection was a significant prognostic factor for AS, LD for EHE. Conclusions Endothelial cell malignancies in childhood have a fair outcome with multimodal treatment. New treatment options are needed for metastic disease.
