Methods A 5-year retrospective analysis of consecutive patients treated for orbito-ocular tumors. We evaluated patterns of occurrence, clinic-pathological concordance, and outcome of treatment. Associations were evaluated with chi square and confidence interval. Data analysis was performed using SPSS for windows version 23 and inferences were judged using the 95% level of significance. Results Among 100 patients with orbito-ocular masses, 62 were histologically confirmed. The female to male ratio (F:M) was 1.0. Their ages ranged from 7 months to 93 years, mean = 33.4 ± 2.7 years. There was an age variation among tumor types. Patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) had a mean age of 46.4 years, while for retinoblastoma the mean age was 3.09 years. All patients with retinoblastoma had proven macroscopic orbital extension. SCC was the most common tumor type (n = 19), however, among children, retinoblastoma (n = 11) was more common. Melanocytic nevus, sebaceous gland carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma of lacrimal gland (n = 6, n = 5, n = 5), respectively, among other tumors were treated.

In this analysis, pooled PRO data are reported from patients with advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS) enrolled to the ANNOUNCE phase III trial of doxorubicin-based therapy. Methods: ANNOUNCE was a phase III trial that randomized 509 patients with STS to receive up to eight cycles of doxorubicin with olaratumab or placebo, followed by single-agent olaratumab or placebo. Dexrazoxane was allowed at any cycle of treatment. Participants completed the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30, which is scored 0–100), and Brief Pain Inventory Short Form Modified (mBPI-sf, scored from 0–10) at each treatment cycle. A descriptive analysis of the longitudinal data was conducted overall and by cumulative dose of doxorubicin received to inform the clinical care of patients with STS. Worsening on the QLQ-C30 was defined as a change of 10 points or more at any post-baseline assessment. Worsening on the mPBI-sf was defined as an increase of ≥2 points from baseline. Results: The majority of participants completed the baseline and at least one subsequent PRO assessment within the trial (n = 460, 90.4% EORTC QLQ-C30; n = 454, 89.2%, mBPI-sf). Patients with STS enrolled to the ANNOUNCE trial had clinically meaningful problems with physical function and pain before initiating doxorubicin. Overall, those with fewer symptoms or better function at baseline received higher cumulative doxorubicin dose throughout the study. At baseline, mean QLQ-C30 fatigue was 29.9 with a median time to first worsening of 0.9 months, and mean nausea/vomiting was 6.5 with 1.4 months until worsening; mean physical function was 78.3 with median time to worsening of 2.1 months and mean health status was 66.8 with median time to first worsening of 1.6 months. Median time to worsening of pain was 7.9 months. Conclusion: Patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma reported a relatively rapid decline in PROs during doxorubicin-based treatment, with patients with poorer symptoms at baseline (specifically fatigue), subsequently receiving less doxorubicin therapy. The availability of detailed summary data from the patient perspective during doxorubicin-based treatment may inform future care of these patients and can provide a resource for the development of PRO endpoints in future trials.","PeriodicalId":46078,"journal":{"name":"Rare Tumors","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47755898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We recognise the proposed advantages of multidisciplinary team (MDT) working that Rosell et al.1 describe in their evaluation paper. In the UK, multidisciplinary team (MDT) working is mandated in the National Health Service (NHS) Cancer Plan. Benefits of this model include improved evidence-based treatment decisions, coordination of care and education for MDT members, along with improved patient outcomes and clinical trial recruitment.2–5 Childhood cancer is rare. There are approximately 1900 new cases per year in the UK, with childhood cancer cases comprising less than 1% of all new cancer cases.6 All children with suspected cancer in the UK are referred to one of 19 principle treatment centres (PTC) which together comprise a network of tertiary specialist cancer services for diagnosis, treatment and coordination of care for each patient. It is standard of care for every child with a new diagnosis to be discussed at a PTC MDT meeting at which recommendations are formulated for management. In addition to PTC MDT meetings, there has been a recent rise in a number of virtual national advisory panels (NAP) for children’s cancer in the UK. These panels have developed alongside increasing centralisation of cancer services and enhanced complexities of patient management. Advice may be sought from these panels for individual patients with specific disease types including sarcoma (panel established in 2011), histiocytosis (2013), ependymoma (2015) leukaemia (2016), neuroblastoma (2017) and renal cancers (2017) As of January 2019, collectively there had been 920 referrals to the NAPs in the UK. Rosell et al. acknowledge rare cancers and complex cases may benefit from referrals to such forums to gather further clinical expertise, particularly when the evidence base is lacking or treatment pathway is not clearly defined. In contrast to the Swedish model described in Rosell’s evaluation, NAP referral is not mandated at either diagnosis or relapse. Furthermore, NAPs are distinct from PTC MDT meetings, involving national experts for particular cancer types offering an advisory role only ensuring overall responsibility for the patient remains that of the referring team. While the primary role of the NAPs is not to ensure equitable access to treatment, there is a degree of overlap with the UK Experimental Cancer Medicine Network regional meetings (ECMC). These meetings are designed to discuss cases at time of relapse to ensure equitable access to clinical trials, irrespective of geography.
