RARE-31. RECURRENT CHOROID PLEXUS CARCINOMA IN THE SETTING OF LI-FRAUMENI SYNDROME: REPORT OF TWO CHILDREN MANAGED WITH INTENSIVE RE-INDUCTION AND MARROW-ABLATIVE CONSOLIDATION CHEMOTHERAPY WITHOUT IRRADIATION FOLLOWED BY MOLECULARLY-TARGETED BIOLOGICAL THERAPY

Abstract

BACKGROUNDThe optimal management for children with recurrent choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC), is not established. We report two children with germline TP53 mutations, whose CPC relapses were managed with marrow-ablative chemotherapy and oral biologically-targeted therapies. PATIENTS: Patient A: A 17 months old male presented with non-metastatic bilateral CPC. A de novo mosaic germline TP53 mutation was identified. After near-total resections, 16 months of standard chemotherapy were administered; 18 months later, localized tumor growth developed, again near-totally resected. Two cycles of re-induction chemotherapy were administered followed by three cycles of thiotepa/carboplatin with autologous hematopoietic cell rescue (AuHCR) and subsequently 21 months of sirolimus and thalidomide, continuing without residual or recurrent disease. Patient B: A 30 months old male presented with left lateral ventricular non-metastatic CPC. A de novo TP53 germline mutation was identified. Following sub-total resection, craniospinal irradiation with boost was administered followed by eight cycles of standard chemotherapy; 18 months later, localized recurrence developed; gross total resection was followed by 15 months of standard dose chemotherapies; four months thereafter, a second local recurrence developed, again gross totally resected. He then received one cycle of high-dose cyclophosphamide followed by three cycles of thiotepa/carboplatin with AuHCR. Subsequently he received sirolimus and thalidomide for 12 months, complicated by progressive pancytopenia. A small localized CPC recurrence was noted, gross totally resected, concomitant with myelodysplastic syndrome; he underwent an allogeneic matched unrelated donor marrow transplantation.CONCLUSIONSMarrow-ablative chemotherapy with post-transplant targeted biological therapy may afford durable survival for select children with recurrent CPC.
