  2. Introduction and Background • Solitary Fibrous Tumor/Hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) is a ubiquitous mesenchymal tumor of fibroblastic type. SFT/HPC typically affects adults from ages 20 to 70 years • Vallat-Decouvelaereet al first distinguished malignant from benign variants on the basis of nuclear atypia, hypercellularity, greater than 4 mitosis/10 HPFs, and necrosis • However, the correlation between morphology and aggressiveness is poorly defined • Surgery is the treatment of choice for local disease, radiation is an option of unclear benefit, and chemotherapy is often a final effort

  3. Introduction and Background • One recent retrospective study examined the use of temozolomide and bevacizumab to treat SFT/HPC • A prospective trial was presented at AACR in 2010 that examined the molecular characteristics and targeted therapeutics for patients with SFT/HPC resistant to conventional chemotherapies. Eleven patients received sunitinibmaleate and figitumumab with favorable response

  4. Our Purpose • This retrospective chart review was conducted to further define the clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients with benign and malignant SFT/HPC • We hope that it will further the understanding of this rare disease and become useful as a reference for future clinical trials

  5. Methods • Patients with pathology defined SFT/HPC who were treated at the Moffitt Cancer Center were first identified through the Total Cancer Care database and then through PowerChart database queries from 1993 to 2011 • Two sarcoma pathologists re-reviewed every case in an un-blinded manner • Internal Review Board approval under an umbrella protocol for the purpose of retrospective studies • Data collected from PowerChart included age of the patient, patient gender and race, vital status, last follow up, age of presentation, primary tumor site, date and site of metastases, chemotherapeutic, surgical and radiotherapeutic interventions

  6. Our Patients • 82 patients total • 47(57%) women • 73(89%) Caucasian • Median age: 62 years (range, 20 - 89) • Thirty-two (39%) pts died as of Nov. 2011 • The median follow-up was 55.3 months

  7. Disease Characteristics • - Lung/Pleura in 28(34%) - Abdomen/Pelvis in 23(28%) • - Extremity in 13(16%) - Head/Neck in 9(11%)

  8. Disease Characteristics • Benign: 43(52%) • Malignant: 39(48%)

  9. Benign Malignant

  10. Disease Characteristics

  11. Disease Characteristics • Compared to benign SFT/HPC, malignant histology was associated with: • larger tumor size • higher mitotic counts • metastatic disease at diagnosis • greater use of chemotherapy and radiation therapy • Gender, age, and tumor site were not significantly different between benign and malignant subtypes.

  12. Treatments

  13. Survival Differences Between Benign and Malignant SFT/HPC By univariate analysis, benign vs. malignant variant positively impacted overall survival (P=0.02)

  14. Survival Differences in Surgically and Non-Surgically Treated Patients By univariate analysis, complete resection positively impacted overall survival (P<0.0001, HR 0.09)

  15. Univariate Survival Analysis

  16. Survival Data for Clinical Characteristics

  17. Discussion and Conclusions • Malignant SFT/HPC was associated with larger, mitotically active tumors that were more likely to be metastatic at diagnosis compared to benign SFT/HPC • Primary site was not associated with tumor behavior • Clear survival differences exist between benign and malignant SFT/HPC

  18. Discussion and Conclusions • Patients treated with chemotherapy had an inferior OS compared to untreated patients, however, this is likely due to the severity of their disease. • While surgery is the best treatment option for benign and malignant SFT/HPC, targeted systemic therapies and better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis are needed to improve outcomes for patients with metastatic, malignant SFT/HPC.
