1 Response to Chemotherapy Does Not Predict Survival After Resection of Sarcomatous Pulmonary etastases Louis A. Lanza, D, Joe B. Putnam, Jr, D, Robert S. Benjamin, D, and Jack A. Roth, D Departments of Thoracic Surgery and edicine, The University of Texas D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas Between and, 6 patients with pulmonary metastases from adult soft-tissue sarcomas were treated with Adriamycin (doxorubicin hydrochloride), Cytoxan (cyclophosphamide), and DTIC before metastasectomy. Thirty-eight thoracotomies were performed with postoperative complications in patients (/,.%) and one postoperative death (/,.6%). Two patients had benign lesions at thoracotomy and were excluded from further survival analysis. The median survival of the remaining patients after thoracotomy was.. months, and the actuarial -year survival was %. ive patients (0, %) achieved a clinically complete response with preoperative chemotherapy, but all had recurrence in the lung and underwent resection of pulmonary metastases. Seven patients (/,%) achieved a partial response and had residual disease resected at thoracotomy. Twelve patients (/,0% showed either no change or disease progression while receiving chemotherapy and were referred for resection. Postthoracotomy disease-free survival and postthoracotomy overall survival did not differ significantly between the three groups. One patient in the group showing no change or progression of disease while receiving chemotherapy is alive without recurrence months after initial pulmonary metastasectomy. Chemotherapy can be used for the initial treatment of pulmonary metastases from adult soft-tissue sarcomas. However, survival after resection of pulmonary metastases cannot be accurately predicted based on the clinical response to preoperative chemotherapy.

Although combination chemotherapy produces significant responses in many patients with metastatic softtissue sarcoma [&], few patients with metastatic disease achieve long-term survival with chemotherapy alone. Rosenberg and colleagues [ reported improved survival in patients with extremity soft-tissue sarcomas treated with adjuvant Adriamycin (doxorubicin hydrochloride) and Cytoxan (cyclophosphamide) after complete resection of the primary sarcoma. Others [], however, have failed to show a beneficial effect in this setting. In patients with metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma, a favorable response to chemotherapy administered before pulmonary metastasectomy may be predictive of prolonged survival after surgical resection of pulmonary metastatic disease.

These patients were treated with combination chemotherapy followed by exploration and resection of pulmonary metastases, had a histologically confirmed diagnosis of soft-tissue sarcoma, had the primary tumor controlled, and had metastatic disease that was confined to the thorax and was deemed potentially resectable. All patients were part of a prospective study designed () to evaluate the efficacy of combination chemotherapy with single-dose cyclophosphamide and -day infusion of Adriamycin and dimethyltriazeno-imidazolecarboxamide (DTIC) in the treatment of patients with metastatic or inoperable soft-tissue sarcomas and () to maximize tumor reduction by surgical excision. There were male and female patients with a mean age of 0 years (range, to 6 years). The mean follow-up after initial resection was months (range, to 0 months).

All patients received combination chemotherapy preoperatively for two to 6 cycles (mean number, six cycles). Chemotherapy consisted of Adriamycin (60 mg/m infused over 6 hours), Cytoxan (600 mg/m), and DTIC ( g/m over 6 hours). Two patients also received vincristine sulfate. Combination chemotherapy was continued postoperatively unless toxicity was prohibitive. Patients were stratified to one of three response categories according to standard response criteria as judged by the attending physician s evaluation of clinical response at the time of treatment: CR = complete response, no measurable disease; = partial response, greater than 0% reduction in volume of measurable disease; = no change or less than 0% reduction in volume of measurable disease; and = progressive disease. Twelve patients (/6,6%) whose disease either showed no clinically significant change () or progressed () while they were receiving chemotherapy were classified as /. ive patients (/6, %) who achieved a clinically complete response with chemotherapy (not pathologically confirmed) but later had recurrence (RE) and underwent metastasectomy were classified as CR/RE. Seven patients (/6, %) whose disease partially regressed with chemotherapy and who had residual disease resected were classified as. Patients undergoing thoracotomy met previously described criteria []. Briefly, the primary tumor was controlled, extrapulmonary metastases were absent, and the lesions were considered resectable. Thoracic exploration was performed through a median sternotomy or staged bilateral thoracotomies as previously described [. All gross disease was removed when technically possible, sparing maximal pulmonary parenchyma. Sfatisfical Analysis Postoperative survival and disease-free survival were estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and eier []. Statistical comparisons between groups were made using the log-rank test with survival estimated from the time of pulmonary metastasectomy. All p values reported are two tailed. Results The 6 patients had a total of thoracotomies. Seventeen patients (/6, 6%) underwent a single exploration, patients (/6, %) underwent two explorations, patient (/6, %) underwent three explorations, and l patient (/6,%) underwent four explorations.

All other patients in this group (0/, %) died of progressive metastases. Postthoracotomy disease-free survival did not differ between the three patient groups (p = 0.) (ig ). Similarly, no significant differences were found in postthoracotomy actuarial survival between groups (p = 0.) (ig ) despite complete surgical resection of metastatic disease. Comment Tumor response to preoperative chemotherapy in patients with primary soft-tissue sarcomas may provide a biological assessment of tumor sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents and indirectly predict survival. However, the clinical response to preoperative chemotherapy for pulmonary metastases from soft-tissue sarcomas in this select patient population was not indicative of survival after thoracotomy. In osteosarcomas, histological evidence of a response to preoperative chemotherapy, measured as percent tumor necrosis, has been found to be a significant prognostic factor [6]. This information has been used to modify the treatment regimens of poorly responding patients [. Similarly, patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus who show a response to preoperative chemotherapy have been found to have prolonged survival compared with nonresponders or controls in a prospective randomized trial [. Surgical resection of pulmonary metastases in patients with soft-tissue sarcomas provides improved postthoracotomy survival [l,,,. Despite complete resection, the majority of patients with pulmonary metastases from soft-tissue sarcomas will have recurrences in the lung, and many die of progressive pulmonary insufficiency. The development of combination chemotherapy with marked activity against soft-tissue sarcomas has improved overall survival in patients with disseminated disease [0,. The incidence of postoperative complications in this patient population (.% morbidity and.6% mortality) compares favorably with that in another reported series

Twenty-one patients (/; %) received preoperative chemotherapy (histologies not given) and were retrospectively stratified by response. All patients who demonstrated a clinical response were alive without disease a median of months postoperatively. Ten patients had prolongation of the tumor doubling time to greater than 0 days. The median survival of these patients was months. Six patients showed no response to chemotherapy, and their postthoracotomy median survival was only. months. In this study, changes in tumor growth induced by preoperative chemotherapy favorably affected survival after metastasectomy. The histologies of the subset of patients who received preoperative chemotherapy were not stated and may have included histologies other than soft-tissue sarcomas. In addition, the chemotherapy protocol differed substantially from that administered to our patient population. The effects and outcome of these two differences are difficult to determine. Giritsky and co-workers [] examined the effect of preoperative chemotherapy on survival of pediatric patients with metastatic osteogenic sarcoma.

The value of preoperative chemotherapy, pulmonary metastasectomy, and possibly pulmonary irradiation in patients with pulmonary metastases from osteogenic sarcoma is unclear, as the results were based on comparison with historical controls and can be considered only tentative. Belli and colleagues [] observed only one complete response, one partial response, and three disease stabilizations among patients with osteosarcoma metastatic to the lungs who were treated with combination chemotherapy before metastasectomy. All patients had received previous chemotherapy during treatment of the primary tumor. In this review, the clinical response to bulk disease in patients who had received previous chemotherapy was poor. A survival advantage was not observed for the responding patients. In our patients, the response to preoperative chemotherapy was not a reliable predictor of postthoracotomy survival. utational models for the development of drug resistance predict that an inverse relationship exists between curability and tumor burden []. Thus, the earliest possible use of appropriate chemotherapy may have the potential for improving cure rates for solid tumors. ost patients in this series who responded to chemotherapy received prolonged courses of chemotherapy before operation. Surgical intervention was undertaken only when there was evidence of disease recurrence or progression or when a complete response could not be achieved. We

The response to preoperative chemotherapy has proved to be a useful prognostic indicator in other solid tumors [6,. The clinical response to chemotherapy represents complex interactions between malignant cell subsets and cytotoxic agents. Disparate responses have been noted between the primary tumor and its metastases in patients receiving preoperative chemotherapy [6]. Thus, the clinical response to chemotherapy given preoperatively may not reliably predict survival outcome in all histologies, as micrometastases may respond differently than bulk disease. urther studies will be helpful in defining these complex interactions. Two of the 6 patients were found to have unresectable metastases at thoracotomy. Both were in the / gr~up. The usefulness of preoperative chemotherapy in improving resectability or survival could not be determined from our data. In conclusion, preoperative chemotherapy can be used safely in patients with pulmonary metastases from softtissue sarcomas. A high clinical response rate can be achieved in this population using chemotherapy combinations that include Adriamycin, Cytoxan, and DTIC. However, the clinical response to preoperative chemotherapy cannot be used to accurately predict overall survival or disease-free survival after complete surgical resection of metastatic disease. Aggressive surgical resection of metastatic disease in patients with pulmonary metastases from soft-tissue sarcomas can result in longterm survival and should be performed for all patients with potentially resectable pulmonary metastases regardless of response to preoperative chemotherapy.
