Title Treatment modalities of ALK-positive relapsed/refractory inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the brain and lungs in 7-year-old girl: case-based reviews.
URL
Abstract Text Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) belongs to mesenchymal neoplasm of intermediate malignancy in WHO classification. Primary CNS disease or CNS metastases (CNS-IMT) occur in minority. We describe a case of relapsed/refractory IMT of lungs with multiple brain metastases in young child who achieved long-term complete response after alectinib. This systematic review also summarizes treatment modalities and outcome of children and adolescent with CNS-IMT.PRISMA 2020 guideline was applied to select an article from PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases without time limits. This review focused on children and adolescent 0-24 years of age with CNS-IMT or inflammatory pseudotumor (CNS-IPT). The clinical characteristics and treatment outcome were explored.A total of 51 patients in 49 publications were identified. Median age of patients with CNS-IMT/IPT was 15-year-old and 60.8% were male. The most common location of tumor was cerebral cortex (54.9%). Complete resection of CNS-IMT/IPT was performed in 27 cases with 100% complete response and 18.5% recurrence. Nearly half of patients who received partial resection without adjuvant therapy experienced progressive disease, while the contrast group totally achieved partial response. Overall responses in 7 patients treating with ALK inhibitors were 57.1% durable complete response and 42.9% transient partial response.First-line treatment of CNS-IMT/IPT is complete resection. Patients who received partial tumor removal might have benefit from adjuvant therapy. ALK inhibitors reveal a promising result in unresectable CNS-IMT/IPT. Our case has shown a success in treating relapsed and refractory CNS-IMT as well as the primary site using 2nd-generation ALK inhibitor.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
