e19259 Background: Soft Tissue Sarcomas (STS) are a group of neoplasm with huge histological diversity and biological behaviors. They have a low prevalence and lack of data, especially in Colombia where there is no specific report of this disease. The objective of this study is to describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with soft tissue sarcoma at Fundación Santafe, a university hospital located in Bogotá. Methods: This is an observational study of a cohort of soft tissue sarcoma patients treated at a single institution with a follow-up of 4 years (2015 - 2019). Clinical, molecular and epidemiological variables were registered, and overall survival was calculated for stage IV sarcomas. For the survival analysis a Kaplan Meier model was used. Results: Twenty-four patients were included. The histologies reported were: Pleomorphic sarcoma 25.0%, Ewing's sarcoma 20.8%, liposarcoma 16.7%, chondrosarcoma 8.3%, leiomiosarcoma 8.3%, synovial sarcoma 8.3%, soft part alveolar sarcoma 8.3%, and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans 4.3%. OSm for the whole stage IV group was: 30.22m, according to subtypes OSm was: Ewing's sarcoma 37.13 OSm, liposarcoma 11 OSm, chondrosarcoma 12.3 OSm. Only 3 of the cases (2 Ewing's sarcoma and 1 alveolar sarcoma) had multigenic platform information. In these cases, main mutations in BCL2, SOX9, SATB2 and TFE3 were described. In two of the cases PDL1 expression was done with a negative result ( < 1%) (pleomorphic sarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma). Ifosfamide and anthracyclines was the most frequent chemotherapy regimen used, but in two of the cases checkpoint inhibitors were initiated. Conclusions: This real-world cohort of STS have a similar clinical and epidemiological distribution to historic cohorts, but our OSm for Ewing's sarcoma stage IV is longer than reported, even with a case of complete remission after consolidation with autologous bone marrow transplant. Other histologies had a worse prognosis with a less than 12 m OSm. Genomic data were scarce and useless for directed therapies or immunotherapy as usual in STS. [Table: see text]

Eleven patients with extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma (EES) were treated with combined modality therapy at the National Cancer Institute. The diagnosis of EES was reserved for lesions that were identical to Ewing's sarcoma of bone by light and electron microscopy. Diagnostic work-up to rule out a skeletal primary included bone scan, localized views of adjacent bone, and bone tomography. Seven patients presented with an extremity primary and four patients had a truncal primary. No patients had evidence of metastases at presentation. Patients were treated with combined modality therapy consisting of high-dose local irradiation and vincristine, actinomycin D, and cyclophosphamide chemotherapy following a biopsy or local excision. No attempt was made to excise widely the primary tumor mass. Gross tumors generally responded rapidly to the combined modality treatment. Of 11 patients, seven (64%) remain disease free, with a follow-up of three to seven years from completion of therapy. Long-term local control was established in nine of 11 patients (82%). Autopsy findings on two patients with local failure showed no tumor involvement of adjacent bone. Attempts at gross resections by radical surgical procedures do not routinely appear to be necessary in light of the high local control rates with high-dose irradiation.

Ewing's sarcoma is a distinctive clinical and pathologic entity that may be intraosseous or of soft-tissue origin. In the facial bones, the incidence of the sarcoma is estimated at 2.5% of all Ewing's sarcoma of bone. The soft tissues of the head and neck account for 11% of extraskeletal sites of the neoplasm. Combined modality treatment has modified its high-grade malignancy.

Sarcomas originating in the bone represent a challenge for physicians and patients. Because they constitute only 0.2% of all adult malignancies and 6% of pediatric malignancies, resources for studying this disease are often limited.1,2 Nonetheless, significant advancements have been made in the treatment of this disease, and there are ongoing efforts toward improvement. This article discusses recently completed and currently enrolling clinical trials for the 3 most common bone sarcomas: osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma family tumors, and chondrosarcoma.
