Personalized Ewing’s Sarcoma Case
Personalized Ewing’s Sarcoma Case Patient History (10 yo) • • Was diagnosed at age 6 (2009) with Ewing’s Sarcoma of the scapula with bilateral pulmonary metastases. EWS-FLI 1 fusion gene rearrangement was confirmed Initial therapy consisted of high dose vincristine, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide alternating with ifosfamide and etoposide • Scapulectomy revealed predominantly viable residual tumor (2010) • Consolidative whole lung-irradiation was followed by a completion of 6 cycles of maintenance therapy using irinotecan and temozolomide (2011) • Recurrent pulmonary metastases were developed and resected following 7 cycles of cyclophosphamide and topotecan therapy (2012) Patient pulmonary tumor was resected on February 2012 and engrafted in immunedeficient mice in order to form a Personalized Tumor. Graft model Rapid disease progression occurred during continued treatment with cyclophosphamide and topotecan followed by further aggressive progression over one month during treatment on a phase I trial
