Purpose: Though the prognosis for pediatric patients with localised synovial sarcoma (SS) is generally good, the chances of being cured after relapse are limited. This study describes a retrospective multi-institutional series of relapsing SS patients treated at six selected European referral centers for pediatric sarcoma. Patients and methods: The study included 41 patients <21 years with relapsing SS, treated between 2002 and 2022. The analysis included patient's characteristics at first diagnosis, first-line treatments, clinical findings at relapse, and second-line treatment modalities. Results: The first relapse occurred within 3–132 months (median 18 months) after first diagnosis and was local in 34%, metastatic in 54%, and both in 12%. Treatment at first relapse included surgery in 56% of cases, radiotherapy in 34%, and systemic therapy in 88%. In all, 36 patients received second-line medical treatment, that was chemotherapy in 32 cases (with 10 different regimens) and targeted t...

Abstract
Purpose: Though the prognosis for pediatric patients with localised synovial sarcoma (SS) is generally good, the chances of being cured after relapse are limited. This study describes a retrospective multi-institutional series of relapsing SS patients treated at six selected European referral centers for pediatric sarcoma. Patients and methods: The study included 41 patients <21 years with relapsing SS, treated between 2002 and 2022. The analysis included patient's characteristics at first diagnosis, first-line treatments, clinical findings at relapse, and second-line treatment modalities. Results: The first relapse occurred within 3–132 months (median 18 months) after first diagnosis and was local in 34%, metastatic in 54%, and both in 12%. Treatment at first relapse included surgery in 56% of cases, radiotherapy in 34%, and systemic therapy in 88%. In all, 36 patients received second-line medical treatment, that was chemotherapy in 32 cases (with 10 different regimens) and targeted t...File | Dimensione | Formato | |
