Summary

This study was undertaken to clarify the risk factors, including the mutation status of CTNNB1, for the local recurrence after surgery of the rare disease, desmoid-type fibromatosis. It was designed as a multi-institutional joint research project with seven major centers in Japan participating. Of 196 cases with specimens and medical records collected from the 7 institutions, 88 surgically treated ones were analyzed regarding clinicopathological prognostic factors including CTNNB1 mutation status. Excluding R2 cases (n=3), 5-year local recurrence free survival (LRFS) was 52.9%. No case had received pre- or post-operative radiotherapy. Univariate analysis revealed that extremity location (P<0.001) and larger size (?8cm, P=0.036) were significant adverse risk factors for LRFS. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that extremity location (P<0.001) was a significantly adverse factor in addition to recurrent tumor (P=0.041), S45F mutation (P=0.028), and R1 surgical margin (P=0.039). Pre-operative drug treatment including NSAIDs did not reduce the incidence of local recurrence (P=0.199). This is the first study to analyze the factors correlating with outcomes of surgical treatment including CTNNB1 mutation status in a relatively large number of cases from an Asian country. Tumor location was found to be the most influential prognostic factor for local recurrence, similar to the results from Western countries. The development of more sensitive method(s) for determination of CTNNB1 mutation is a priority for future study.
