2. No one denies the importance of evidence.
It is a sine qua non of professional practice. But
often, there are no simple answers to
apparently simple questions: there is a role for
judgement and decision-making
3. Levels of evidence
Level-I=large double blind RCTs, or, metaanalysis of
smaller RCTs , with clinically relevant outcomes
I a=evidence from meta-analysis of RCT
I b=evidence from at least 1 RCT
Level-II=small RCTs, non-blinded RCTs
IIa=evidence from one well designed non-RCT
IIb=evidence from one well-designed quasi-
experimental study
Level-III=observational [cohort ] studies ,case-
control studies , non-RCTs
Level-IV=opinion of expert committees, or
respected authorities
Level -V=expert opinion 3

“The gross anatomy, as evidenced by X-rays is a
safer guide to a correct clinical conception of the
disease than the variable and uncertain structure of
the small piece of tissue sent for microscopy”

20. The biopsy should be performed by the
surgeon who will be doing the definitive
surgery
24. Needle Biopsy
OPD procedure, LA
Can be image guided or CT guided
Practically no infection
Very little tissue contamination
Much smaller risk of causing fracture
Cores from depth of the tumor
Minimally invasive, much less traumatic
25. May not yield adequate tissue
May be difficult to make a diagnosis
Experienced pathologist required to
be able to give a diagnosis on small
quantity of tissue

33. Information helps decide
Post op radiotherapy
Radiotherapy indicated for patients with
positive margins and considered for those with
residual viable tumor
Radiation dose adjusted depending upon the
percentage necrosis of tumor and margins of
resection
36. 10/20/12 36
Osteosarcoma lesions can be purely osteolytic
(30%), purely osteoblastic (45%), or a mixture of
both. (Kesselring 1982).
Lytic Sclerotic Mixed
38. 10/20/12 38
CT scanning
CT scanning of the chest is more sensitive than is
plain film radiography for assessing pulmonary
metastases.
MRI
MRI of the primary lesion is the best method to assess
the extent of intramedullary disease as well as
associated soft-tissue masses and skip lesions. (Estrada
1995)
Bone Scan
A bone scan should be obtained to look for skeletal
metastases or multi focal disease.
39. 10/20/12 39
Treatment
Current standard of care
1. Radiological staging
2. Biopsy to confirm diagnosis
3. Preoperative chemotherapy
4. Repeat radiological staging
(access chemo response, finalize surgical tx plan)
5. Surgical resection with wide margin
6. Reconstruction using one of many
techniques
7. Post op chemo based on preop response
41. 10/20/12 41
Chemotherapy
Before the era chemotherapy osteosarcoma was usually
treated with immediate wide or radical amputation on
diagnosis.
This usually treated the local disease adequately. However
80% of patients eventually died of micrometastatic
disease.
With the use of modern chemotherapy protocols, the
current 5-year survival rate for osteosarcoma is
approximately 70%.
42. 10/20/12 42
Surgery
The main goal of surgery is to safely and completely
remove the tumor.
Historically, most patients had an amputation. Over the
past 30 years, limb-sparing procedures have become the
standard, mainly due to advances in chemotherapy and
sophisticated imaging techniques (Scully 2002).
Limb salvage procedures now can provide rates of local
control and long-term survival equal to amputation.
44. 10/20/12 44
Radiotherapy
Radiation therapy has no major role in osteosarcoma
Radiation therapy may be useful in some cases where the
tumor cannot be completely removed by surgery. E.g. in
pelvic bones or in the bones of the face. In these
situations, As much tumor as possible is removed, and
then radiation is given to try to kill the remaining cancer
cells. Chemotherapy may be used after radiation.
Radiation can also be helpful in controlling symptoms like
pain and swelling if the cancer has come back or surgery is
not possible.

Neural markers - neuron-specific
enolase, Leu-7, synaptophysin,
neurofilament, and S100.
49. Management
The primary goal of treatment is local control of the
disease while, if possible, achieving salvage of the
limb and its function
Limb-salvage procedures a valid alternative method
of treatment to amputation in 80-85% of patients
with primary bone sarcomas.
Wafa H et alExpert Rev Anticancer Ther. 2006 Feb;6(2):239-48.
50. Why anterior chemotherapy
Before the era of chemotherapy, fewer
than 10% of patients with Ewing’s
sarcoma survived despite
radiosensitivity
Why systemic therapy?

53. Is surgery the best modality for local control at all sites ?

54. Ewing’s pelvis L
8 year old girl
Involves ilium + upper acetabulum
64. Imaging
MRI
For extremity masses
Gives good delineation between muscle, tumor and
blood vessels
CT for abdominal and retroperitoneal
PET
May help determine high vs. low grade
May be helpful in recurrences
66. Relative risk for recurrence and survival
Age >50 years 1.6
Local recurrence at presentation 2.0
Microscopically positive margin 1.8
Size 5.0–10.0 cm 1.9
Size > 10.0 cm 1.5
High-grade 4.3
Deep location 2.5
Local recurrence 1.5
67. Surgery
Limb-sparing vs amputation
Comparison study with post-op radiation in limb sparing
showed no difference in survival
Amputation still may be indicated for
neurovascular or bone involvement
68. Resection
Arbitrary 2 cm margin if no plan for post-op
radiotherapy
Negative margins may be adequate for post-op
radiation therapy
Presence of positive margins increases local recurrence
by 10-15%
No need for lymph node dissection as only 2-3%
have nodal metastasis
69. Adjuvant radiotherapy
Small, low grade tumors resected with 2 cm
margins may not require radiation
Improves local control but not survival
Whether improved local control leads to
improved survival is controversial
70. Pre-op or post-op radiation?
Some avoid pre-op use because of increased
wound complications (although this is debatable)
RCT looking at wound complication rate pre-op vs post-
op radiation showed 35% vs 17%
Risk confined to lower extremity
Conclusions: pre-op may be better for upper extremity
and head & neck because of equal wound complication
risk and benefit of lower radiation doses to more vital
tissues
72. Chemotherapy
Can improve local control, but not survival
Doxorubicin and iFosfamide have response rates
of 20%
Use only in advanced disease
Combination with radiation or neoadjuvant
therapy are controversial
Hypothermic isolated limb perfusion may be used
for palliation
73. Treatment of Recurrence
20-30% of STS patients will recur
More common in retroperitoneal and head &
neck high grade tumors because hard to get clear
margins
38% for retroperitoneal
42% for head and neck
5-25% for extremity
After re-resection recurrence is 32% for extremity
and much higher for visceral
75. Retroperitoneal Sarcomas
15% of all sarcomas
Liposarcoma 42% and leiomyosarcoma 26%
CT scan can show cystic/solid/necrotic components and relation
to surroundings
CXR to r/o mets, chest CT if CXR abnormal
Biopsy not necessary unless suspect a lymphoma or germ cell
tumor or plan preop chemo or radiation
En bloc resection is standard treatment
bowel prep
assess bilateral kidney function
50-80% need organ resection
78% of primary lesions can be completely resected
77. Prognosis for retroperitoneal sarcomas
5 year survival after complete resection of 54-65%
Drops to 10-36% if incompletely resected
Recurrence occurs in 46-59% of completely
resected tumors
78. Radiation or chemotherapy for retroperitoneal
sarcomas
Radiation
GI and neuro toxicities limit delivery of sufficient
doses
May improve local control
Recommended for use only in clinical trials given
lack of data either way
Chemotherapy
Use for recurrent, unresectable or metastatic
disease
79. GIST
Separate subtype of sarcoma defined by expression of
c-Kit (CD117)
Surgery: complete resection without local or regional
lymphadenectomy
Very resistant to traditional chemotherapy
Gleevec (imantinib mesylate)
c-Kit is constitutively active tyrosine kinase receptor
Drug is tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in CML
Initial studies showed 54% response rates
Two RCTs currently looking at adjuvant treatment
114. CAUTION
C - Change in bowel or bladder habits
A - A sore that does not heal
U - Unusual bleeding or discharge
T - Thickening or lump in the breast or any part of the
body
I - Indigestion or difficulty swallowing
O - Obvious change in a wart or mole
N - Nagging cough or hoarseness
40. Breast Cancer: Stage IV
Stage IV, or metastatic, breast cancer is a lethal disease. The most common sites of metastases are soft tissue (skin or draining lymph nodes), bone, and viscera (eg, liver, lung).
