Response to systemic treatments and survival of fibrolamellar carcinomas: An AGEO-SFCE French multicenter retrospective cohort
Archive ouverte
International audience. IntroductionFibrolamellar carcinomas (FLC) are rare and predominantly advanced hepatic malignancies, lacking a clear consensus on anti-tumor treatments (ATT). The primary objective of the study was to determine whether any ATT appeared to give favorable outcomes in terms of morphological objective response (ORR) and disease control (DCR) rate according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.Patients and methodsThis retrospective multicentric French cohort from 14 centers included 44 patients with histologically proven FLC who received at least one ATT (chemotherapy and/or tyrosine kinase inhibitors, TKI) and underwent at least one morphological evaluation. .ResultsA total of 40 anti-tumor responses were analyzed after a first line treatment. No complete response was observed, with an ORR in 13 % of cases, a DCR in 55 % of cases and 45 % of disease progression. GEMOX regimen (n = 9) showed an ORR of 11 % and a DCR of 33 %; the combination of doxorubicin and platinum-based chemotherapy (n = 6) achieved an ORR of 33 % and a DCR of 83 %. For TKI, sorafenib (n = 10) and sunitinib (n = 3), there was no objective response, with a DCR of 40 % and 33 % respectively. The median and the 5-years overall survival were 3.3 years and 35 % (95 %CI=[0.23–0.54]) respectively.ConclusionFLC have a poor prognosis; ATT show mild response rate. Further approaches and personalized medicine seem to be an unmet need for patients with FLC and new treatments should be urgently developed.
