ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To determine outcomes of children with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) with isolated lung metastases.METHODS:
Data were analyzed for 428 patients with metastatic RMS treated on COG protocols. Categorical variables were compared using Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test.RESULTS:
Compared with patients with other metastatic sites (n = 373), patients with lung-only metastases (n = 55) were more likely to be <10 years of age, have embryonal histology (embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma), have N0 disease, and less likely to have primary extremity tumors. Lung-only patients had significantly better survival outcomes than patients with all other sites of metastatic disease (p < .0001) with 5-year EFS of 48.1 versus 18.8% and 5-year OS of 64.1 versus 26.9%. Patients with lung-only metastases, and those with a single extrapulmonary site of metastasis, had better survival compared with patients with two or more sites of metastatic disease (p < .0001). In patients with ERMS and lung-only metastases, there was no significant difference in survival between patients ≥10 years and 1-9 years (5-year EFS 58.3 vs. 68.2%, 5-year OS 66.7 vs. 67.7%).CONCLUSIONS:
With aggressive treatment, patients with ERMS and lung-only metastatic disease have superior EFS and OS compared with patients with other sites of metastatic disease, even when older than 10 years of age. Consideration should be given to including patients ≥10 years with ERMS and lung-only metastases in the same group as those <10 years in future risk stratification algorithms.Palabras clave
