12 «Operable» STS Take home messages (ESMO 2014) Surgery is the standard treatment of all patients with an adult type, localized STS. It must be carried out by a surgeon specifically trained in the treatment of this disease [III, A]. The standard surgical procedure is a wide excision with negative margins (R0)

13 Règles carcinologiques STM - Chirurgie Discussion pluridisciplinaire avant chirurgie Exérèse large monobloc R0 x mm (rechute < 20%) R1: résidus microscopiques (rechute > 50%) R2: résidus macroscopiques (rechute 100%) Cicatrice dans l axe du membre! Reprise systématique si exérèse marginale (si possible!) Exérèse monobloc enlevant les cicatrices de la biopsie «Le chirurgien ne doit pas voir la tumeur»: un chirurgien qui voit la tumeur est une exérèse R1 par définition: «énucléation» Une exérèse fragmentaire est une exérèse R2 par définition: «sarcomatose du lit tumoral» (risque métastatique augmenté)

15 Adjuvant systemic treatment in STS in high grade STS (grade 2-3) A never ending issue?

R1 resection with CT R1 resection no CT R0 resection +/- CT Cntrl-Marginal Adjuv-Marginal Cntrl-Radical Adjuv-Radical (years) Adjuvant chemotherapy should never be intended to rescue inadequate surgery Le Cesne et al, Annals of Oncol 2014

18 STS Adjuvant CT ESMO CPGs / IGR algorythm (2017) Adjuvant CT R1 resection (even after salvage surgery) grade 3 specially in males. Discussion if margins unknown No adjuvant CT R0 resection, male/female grade 2-3 R1 resection, grade 2. All grade 1 Superficial STS, all grade, all age All retroperitoneal sarcomas All STS > 70 yrs Induction CT R2, R1 fragmentated resection before salvage surgery Adjuvant CT is not standard treatment in adult-type STS. It can be proposed as an option to the high-risk individual patient for a shared decision-making with the patient

19 Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in STS A resolved question?

20 Neoadjuvant CT in STS Take home messages (ESMO 2014) If the decision is made to use CT as upfront treatment, it may well be used preoperatively. A local benefit may be gained, facilitating surgery Multi agent CT with adequate dose anthracyclines plus ifosfamide is the treatment of choice

21 R0 resection: prerequisite for cure! Stoeckle E, et al. EJSO 2006; 32: Primary endpoint for each localized STS: R0 en bloc resection!

Evidence for neoadjuvant CT: «Facilitate» surgery: «planed» surgery vs «unplaned» one High level of R0 resection, pre-requisite for a better outcome in STS Very few PD during CT (3%) : no lost of chance for the vast majority of patients Validation of routine practice in referral center using neoadjuvant full dose since a few decades in «marginally» operable STS patients Rigorous selection of patients (50-70% risk of relapse, use of a «sarcomator algorythm»?) Translational studies for precision medecine programs in large/referral centers with techniques used to identify new actionable targets (Moscato, MOST, MultiSarc.) Impact of MTB in the decision making in referral centers dedidated to STS (NetSarc, ESMO 2016)

68 Is neoadjuvant chemotherapy in resectable STS a new standard of care? Evidence against neoadjuvant CT/ Limits Not indicated in all extremity high grade STS (<50% risk of relapse?) where a R0 resection is a «easy» achievement with free tumor margins. Discussion in MTB!! Optimal management of pts with early PD under CT at first tumor evaluation (after 2 cycles)? : RT, ILPs, local hyperthermia, salvage CT, amputation? Selection of histotype based on early predictive factors of sensitivity/resistance to anthracyclins/alkylating agents has to be defined! Quality of induction CT no equivalent to quality of surgery!! Induction CT has to be performed in referral centers qualified for surgery of these diseases +++ Optimal duration of induction CT in «responding» patients? How many cycles of EI?
