Zusammenfassung

Patienten mit Hochrisikoweichteilsarkomen (FNCLCC-Grad 2–3, > 5 cm und tief gelegen) haben ein hohes Risiko sowohl für das Auftreten eines Lokalrezidivs als auch von Fernmetastasen trotz bestmöglicher Tumorresektion. Es sollte daher ein multimodales Vorgehen für die Therapie dieser prognostisch ungünstigen Tumoren gewählt werden. Neben Chirurgie, Strahlentherapie und Chemotherapie bildet die Hyperthermie die 4. Säule im Kontext multimodaler Behandlungskonzepte. Hyperthermie meint dabei die über Mikrowelleneinstrahlung möglichst selektive Erwärmung der tumortragenden Region auf Temperaturen von 40–43 °C für eine Zeitdauer von 60 min in Ergänzung zu einer simultanen Chemotherapie oder Strahlentherapie. In einer randomisierten Phase-III-Studie konnte durch die Hinzunahme der Hyperthermie zu einer neoadjuvanten Chemotherapie eine deutliche Verbesserung des Tumoransprechens verbunden mit einem sehr niedrigen Risiko der Frühprogression gegenüber alleiniger Chemotherapie gezeigt werden. Die Hinzunahme der Hyperthermie zu einer multimodalen Therapie bei Patienten mit Hochrisikoweichteilsarkomen, bestehend aus Chirurgie, Strahlentherapie und Chemotherapie, entweder neoadjuvant oder auch adjuvant nach einer unvollständigen bzw. marginalen Tumorresektion, führten zu einer signifikanten Verbesserung des lokalrezidiv- und krankheitsfreien Überlebens. Basierend auf diesen Ergebnissen und in Verbindung mit der nur moderaten zusätzlichen Belastung des Patienten durch eine Hyperthermiebehandlung sollte der Einsatz dieses Verfahrens in Kombination mit einer Chemotherapie im Rahmen multimodaler Therapieansätze als Standardtherapieoption erwogen werden.

Abstract

Patients with high-risk soft tissue sarcomas (FNCLCC grades 2–3, > 5 cm and deep lying) are at a high risk of local recurrence or distant metastases despite optimal surgical tumor resection. Therefore, multimodal treatment should be considered for this difficult to treat patient group. Besides surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, hyperthermia has become a valid, complementary treatment option within multimodal treatment concepts. Hyperthermia in this context means the selective heating of the tumor region to temperatures of 40–43 °C for 60 min by microwave radiation in addition to simultaneous chemotherapy or radiation therapy. A randomized phase III study demonstrated that the addition of hyperthermia to neoadjuvant chemotherapy improved tumor response and was associated with a minimal risk of early disease progression as compared to chemotherapy alone. The addition of hyperthermia to a multimodal treatment regimen for high-risk soft tissue sarcoma consisting of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, either in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting after incomplete or marginal tumor resection, significantly improved local progression-free and disease-free survival. Based on these results and due to the generally good tolerability of hyperthermia, this treatment method in combination with chemotherapy should be considered as a standard treatment option within multimodal treatment approaches for locally advanced high-risk soft tissue sarcoma.
