A New Platform for Discussion of Challenging Desmoid Tumor Cases: DTRF Virtual Tumor Board Aaron Weiss, DO Associate Professor of Pediatrics Tufts University School of Medicine Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Maine Children s Cancer Program weissa2@mmc.org
Tumor Board Definition Multidisciplinary treatment planning approach for reviewing and discussing the medical condition and treatment options of a patient NCI Dictionary of Cancer Terms
Background No standardized approach to upfront, progressive or recurrent desmoid tumor management Opinions of experts frequently sought Advice often given with limited information regarding the case
Purpose Creation of an established scientific forum for discussion of complex desmoid tumor cases
Planning Small working group discussions Surgical oncology Radiology Pathology Medical oncology Pediatric oncology Informatics DTRF
Sponsorship Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation Administrative Financial
Format Regularly scheduled meetings Quarterly First Wednesday of the month Web-based conference platform GoToMeeting Core of committed specialists
Personnel Oncology (medical and pediatric) Radiology Surgical oncology (general and orthopedic) Pathology Radiation oncology
Access Open to medical personnel (no patients) Initially North America but more recent international expansion
Process Cases solicited ahead of meeting Meeting announcements Powerpoint presentation preferred Presenting site responsible for providing their own radiology/pathology personnel (if applicable)
Security HIPAA provisions Removal of Protected Health Information Name, date of birth, age, date of scans Pre-presentation site instructions
Sample Cases
Sample Case #1 18 yo male with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndrome Maternal history of FAP Underwent screening colonoscopy in 2014 Found numerous polyps removal of colon Developed lower abdominal/back pain in October 2015 Abdominal mass discovered Needle biopsy performed
Sample Case #1
Sample Case #1 December 2015: started on sorafenib Mild decrease in symptoms and tumor burden October 2016: changed to tamoxifen/sulindac Worsening pain and new concerns of bowel encased within the tumor Surgery being recommended Would lead to permanent colostomy and patient reluctant
Sample Case #1 Questions for the group: Is surgery a reasonable option as a next step? What other, if any, neoadjuvant (presurgical) or adjuvant (postsurgical) therapies should be considered? Is this patient eligible for any open clinical trials?
Sample Case #2 17 year old male with two year history of enlarging right shoulder/axillary mass 6 months of pain, decreased mobility, and preferentially using non-dominant hand Active wake boarder, notes he tends to have prolonged scars for years after superficial trauma
Sample Case #2 Past Medical History: scoliosis Family History: brother seizures, MGM breast cancer in remission, MGGF colon and prostate cancer, MGGA ovarian cancer, MGGM breast and pancreatic cancer

ASCO 2018 2 Toulmonde M, et al. ASCO 2018
Sample Case #2 Questions for the group: Systemic therapy options Methotrexate/Vinblastine? Would stable response at any timepoint lead to consideration of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy? Systemic therapy versus surgical management or radiation Beyond disease progression, any other indications for local control? Considerations of side effects?
