Popis: 9001 Background: The STS COG defines patients with low-risk RMS as those with localized tumors of embryonal histology that occur in favorable sites or occur in unfavorable sites and are grossly resected. Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Studies (IRS)-III (1984–1991) and -IV (1991–1997) found that these patients had a 5-year failure-free survival (FFS) of 83% and an overall survival of 95%. Methods: Two subsets were identified for the IRS-V low-risk RMS study (D9602) (1997–2004) based on the hypothesis that they required different treatment intensities to achieve similar excellent outcomes. Patients assigned to Subset A (Stage [Sg] 1 Group [Gp] I/IIA, Sg 1 Gp III orbit, Sg 2 Gp I) received VA (cumulative doses over 1 year of treatment: V: 54 mg/m2, A: 24 mg/kg) ± local RT. Patients assigned to Subset B (Sg 2 Gp IIB/C, Sg 1 Gp III non-orbit, Sg 2 Gp II, Sg 3 Gp I/II) received VA + C (C: 28.6 g/m2) ± RT. The RT dose was reduced to 36 Gy (instead of 41.4 Gy on IRS-IV) for Gp IIA patients and to 45 Gy (instead of 50.4 or 59.4 Gy on IRS-IV) for Gp III orbit patients. The primary endpoint was FFS. Results: Estimated 3-yr FFS was 89% (95% CI 84%, 93%) for Subset A (n=263) and 89% (95% CI 77%, 95%) for Subset B (n=79). Median follow-up was 2.9 years. Estimated 3-yr FFS was 80% (95% CI 64%, 89%; n=59) for patients with Sg 1 Gp IIA disease and 88% (95% CI 77%, 94%; n=76) for Gp III orbit disease. Conclusions: There is not evidence to suggest that outcome for these patients differs from outcomes observed in similar patients treated on IRS-III and IRS-IV. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
