ESMO 2019 presentation, 2019 Changes in Management Approach to Desmoid Tumor • Up to 1500 cases per year in USA • FAP associated (15%) with loss of function of APC gene product and subsequent accumulation of β-cateinin • Sporadic (85%): point mutations in the β-cateinin gene with aberrant stability and accumulation • Least aggressive surgical intervention is advised • Medical therapies preferred (e.g. anti-inflammatory agents, low dose anthracyclines, vinca alkaloids, methotrexate, or TKI) 25 Sorafenib improves PFS in Desmoid – but responses are seen with placebo as well as sorafenib Changes from baseline in Tumor Size Placebo Sorafenib Gounder MM, et al. 26 Summary: New Approaches to Sarcomas and GIST • The most expert and detailed diagnosis is key to management • Referral to centers with expertise in all disciplines is helpful • New trials and new approaches change management • It is hard to keep up – lots of new therapies! • Expert centers are here to help you care for your patients 27 THANK YOU for your attention George D.
