  • A web-based prognostic tool for extremity and trunk wall soft tissue sarcomas and its external validation
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: British Journal of Cancer. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1532-1827 .- 0007-0920. ; 106:6, s. 1076-1082

    • BACKGROUND: We developed a web-based, prognostic tool for extremity and trunk wall soft tissue sarcoma to predict 10-year sarcoma-specific survival. External validation was performed. METHODS: Patients referred during 1987-2002 to Helsinki University Central Hospital are included. External validation was obtained from the Lund University Hospital register. Cox proportional hazards models were fitted with the Helsinki data. The previously described model (SIN) includes size, necrosis, and vascular invasion. The extended model (SAM) includes the SIN factors and in addition depth, location, grade, and size on a continuous scale. Models were statistically compared according to accuracy (area under the ROC curve = AUC) of 10-year sarcoma-specific survival prediction. RESULTS: The AUC of the SAM model in 10-year survival prediction in the Helsinki patient series was 0.81 as compared with 0.74 for the SIN model (P = 0.0007). The corresponding AUCs in the external validation series were 0.77 for the SAM model and 0.73 for the SIN model (P = 0.03). A web-based calculator for the SAM model is available at http://www.prognomics.org/sam. CONCLUSION: Addition of grade, depth, and location as well as tumour size on a continuous scale significantly improved the accuracy of the prognostic model when compared with a model that includes only size, necrosis, and vascular invasion.

  • Impact of the smallest surgical margin on local control in soft tissue sarcoma
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: British Journal of Surgery. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0007-1323 .- 1365-2168. ; 95:2, s. 237-43
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: The aim was to review a single-institution experience of a prospective treatment protocol for soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity and trunk wall, with particular focus on the smallest surgical margin leading to local control. METHODS: The study included 270 patients who had surgery for soft tissue sarcoma at Helsinki University Central Hospital between 1987 and 1997. Resection margins were measured prospectively from tumour specimens. Radiotherapy was administered if the smallest margin measured less than 2.5 cm, irrespective of tumour grade. RESULTS: With a median follow-up of 6.6 years, the 5-year local control rate was 76.4 per cent. On multivariable analysis, the smallest surgical margin around the sarcoma (after radiotherapy) was prognostic for local control. A margin of at least 2.5 cm was associated with a local recurrence-free rate of 89.2 per cent at 5 years. Tumour size, depth or grade and patient's age had no independent prognostic effect on local control. CONCLUSION: Surgical margin had independent prognostic value for local control. A surgical margin of 2-3 cm provided reasonable local control of soft tissue sarcoma, even without radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is recommended for smaller margins, irrespective of tumour grade.

  • Comparative genomic hybridization of postirradiation sarcomas
  • 2001
  • Ingår i: Cancer. - 1097-0142. ; 92:7, s. 1992-1998
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND. Radiotherapy is a known risk factor for sarcoma development. Postirradiation sarcomas arise within the radiation field after a latency period of several years and usually are highly malignant. Very little is yet known about their genetic changes. METHODS. Twenty-seven postirradiation sarcomas were analyzed by comparative genomic hybridization, which allows genome-wide screening of DNA sequence copy number changes. RESULTS. Copy-number aberrations were detected in 20 (74%) tumors. The mean number of aberrations per tumor was 5.3 with gains outnumbering losses. The most frequent gains affected the minimal common regions of 7q11.2-q21 and 7q22 in 30% and 7p15-pter in 26%. Gain of 8q23-qter was detected in 22%. The most frequent losses affected 11q23-qter and 13q22-q32 in 22%. In osteosarcomas, the most frequent aberration was loss of 1p21-p31, in malignant fibrous histiocytomas (MFH) gain of 7cen-q22, and in fibrosarcomas gain of 7q22. The findings in postirradiation osteosarcomas and MFHs were compared with findings in sporadic osteosarcomas and MFHs, reported previously by the authors. In sporadic osteosarcomas, gains outnumbered losses, but, in postirradiation osteosarcomas, losses were more frequent than gains. Loss at 1p was rare in sporadic osteosarcoma (3%) but frequent (57%) in postirradiation osteosarcomas. Gains at 7q were frequent both in postirradiation and sporadic MFH. CONCLUSIONS. According to previous studies on different types of sporadic sarcomas, gains at 7q or 8q are associated with poor prognosis or large tumor size. Thus, the frequent gains at 7q and 8q might have been responsible in part for the poor prognosis of postirradiation sarcomas. Also, however, some of their clinical features, i.e., high malignancy grade, late diagnosis, and central location, are associated with a poor prognosis.
