Hyper-Dependence on NHEJ Enables Synergy Between DNA-PK Inhibitors and Low-Dose Doxorubicin in Leiomyosarcoma
CONCLUSION: Combinations of DNA-PK inhibitors with unconventionally low, sensitizing, doxorubicin dosing showed synergistic effects in LMS in vitro and in vivo models, without discernable toxicity. These findings underscore the relevance of DNA damage repair alterations in LMS pathogenesis and identify dependence on NHEJ as a clinically actionable vulnerability in LMS.PMID:37773632 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-0998 (Source: Cell Research)

Anlotinib as a maintenance treatment for advanced soft tissue  sarcoma after first-line chemotherapy (ALTER-S006): a multicentre, open-label, single-arm, phase 2 trial
This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03890068.FINDINGS: At the data cut-off date (August 8, 2022), 49 patients were enrolled, including 17 with liposarcoma (35%) and 15 with leiomyosarcoma (31%). After a median follow-up of 17.1 months (IQR 9.0-27.2), the median PFS from the beginning of maintenance treatment was 9.1 months (95% CI 5.7-12.5), and the median OS was not reached, and the 1-year OS rate for anlotinib maintenance treatment was 98.0%. The best ORR and DCR were 16% (8/49, 95% CI 7-30) and 94% (46/49, 95% CI 83-99), respectively. Most of the treatment-related adverse events were grade 1-2. Of the g...

Surgical Outcomes of Patients With Inferior Vena Cava Leiomyosarcoma
Vascular leiomyosarcomas are rare tumors, particularly those arising from the inferior vena cava (IVC). The disease has a poor prognosis with surgical resection being the only curative treatment option for patients. The purpose of this study was to analyze surgical outcomes of patients with inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma. There is limited data on the surgical management of IVC leiomyosarcoma, specifically when to ligate or reconstruct the IVC; thus, we are contributing to the literature on the management of this rare tumor.

Carcinosarcoma of the Esophagus-A Diagnostic Challenge
Conclusion: Carcinosarcoma can be easily missed in the presence of predominantly sarcomatous components even on immunohistochemical analysis. These tumors may be associated with poor prognosis and may have early recurrence despite surgery and adjuvant treatment.PMID:37711471 | PMC:PMC10498951 | DOI:10.31486/toj.23.0007 (Source: Ochsner Journal)
