Abstract

ABSTRACT Aim: We analyzed retrospectively data about treatment outcome with existing treatments in DTF. Methods: Descriptive analysis of data related to diagnosis and treatment from all DTF was collected in patients (p) between Sept. 1999 and Nov. 2013 in 26 hospitals of GEIS . Ethics committee approval was obtained. Results: 185 patients. Age: median 37 years (6-85) .63.2% female .Median time lapse from first symptom to diagnosis: 4 months(m). Location : trunk wall 81p (43.8%), extremities 50p (27%), retroperitoneum 10p (5.4%), Gastro-intestinal 16p (8.6%), Head/neck 6p( 3.2%), others 6p(3.2%), 2p (1.1%) missing . 20p (11%) presented a second neoplasia (throughout the whole process). Median tumor size: 8 cm(range 1-96). 3 p (1.6%) presented distant peritoneal disease. First treatment : No treatment 6p (2.7%), Surgery (S) alone 144 p ( 77.8%, 3p >1), S+radiotherapy (RT) 7p (3.7%), S+ chemotherapy (CT) 2 p (1.08%), S+hormonetherapy (HT) 3p (1.62%), S +HT+ Non steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID)+Tirosin-kinasa inhibitor(TKI) 1p (0.54%), CT 5p (2.7%), RT 3p ( 1.6%),NSAID 5p (2.6%), HT 2p (1.08%), TKI 1p(0.54%), HT+NSAID 6p (2.7%). 128p (69.2%) became free of disease, in 49p (26.5%) residual disease remained . 61p (33%) progressed. Median Progression free survival (PFS) :109 m (95%CI 44.6-175.1).Multivariate analysis for PFS: extended/radical surgery(p=0.000) and tumor size Response to CT /other treatments CT treatment Other treatments (TKI, HT, NSAID) p % p % PR 12 30.7 4 7.4 SD 15 38.4 31 55.3 PD 3 7.6 10 17.8 NE 4 10.2 6 10.7 NA 5 12.8 5 8.9 Total 39 100 56 100 PR: partial response; SD: stable disease; PD: progressive disease; NE: non evaluable; NA: non available data. Conclusions: Surgical quality and tumor size seems to play a relevant role in predicting PFS in DFT. Other sistemic treatments showed meaningful activity in progressive disease.
