Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST):clinical, pathologic and molecular predictors of survival Sarcoma Research Center UT MDACC Kerrington Smith, M.D. CTOS Nov 14, 2008
Clinical challenges in MPNST Diagnostic challenges Which deep neurofibromas will undergo malignant transformation?
Clinical challenges in MPNST Prognostic challenges After resection which patients will recur? What is the pattern of recurrence? NF1-MPNST vs. sporadic MPNST?
Clinical challenges in MPNST Therapeutic challenges Effective systemic therapy?
Which factors alter clinical outcome? Patient factors….NF-1 status? Tumor factors? Treatment related factors?
MPNST epidemiology Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF-1) History of radiation exposure 10% • Autosomal dominant • 1 in 3500 live births • Nf1 gene on Ch 17 40-50% 50-60% Sporadic MPNST Evans DG J Med Genet 2002:39;311-4
How are MPNSTs staged? AJCC staging MPNST Histopathologic grade Primary tumor Size Depth Regional lymph nodes Distant metastases Most high grade Most >10 cm All deep Rare Coindre JM et al. Cancer 2001:91;1914-26
There is a need to subclassify stage III MPNST

Purpose To identify and validate tumor, pathologic and molecular factors prognostic of MPNST clinical behavior
Methods MDACC clinical database Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses MPNST tissue microarray
Study population Study dates: 1985 to 2006 Median length of follow up: 91 mo (2 to 236) Total patients N=140 Without NF-1 Syndrome N= 68 With NF-1 Syndrome N= 72
