Surgery plus chemotherapy improves survival of patients with extremity soft tissue leiomyosarcoma and metastasis at presentation.

Abstract:

:Purpose: Extremity soft tissue leiomyosarcoma (LMS) with metastasis is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. The purpose of our study was to define clinical features of extremity soft tissue LMS with metastasis as well as to identify multivariable predictors of survival. Methods: During 1973-2015, 239 patients with metastatic extremity soft tissue LMS were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program database. The prognostic analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and a Cox proportional hazards regression model. Results: This group comprised 126 females (52.7%) and 113 males (47.3%), whose ages ranged from 8 to 95 years (median 67 years). The overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates of the entire group at 3 years were 22.6% and 23.4%, respectively. The median OS and CSS were 14.0±1.5 and 15.0±2.3 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that tumor size >10 cm, no surgery and no chemotherapy were independent risk factors of decreased OS and CSS. Radiotherapy was not significantly associated with OS or CSS. Conclusion: Extremity soft tissue LMS patients who present with metastasis at diagnosis had a poor prognosis. Patients who performed surgery for primary tumors and chemotherapy had a better chance for prolonged survival.
