173 Table 5. Published results regarding variables that are potentially associated with time to disease stabilisation, risk of progression or change in treatment strategy. Significant outcomes (p-value <0.05) are in bold. Ref Outcome p-value Statistically significant identified risk factor Barbier, 2010 27 Time difference in evolution to stabilisation Primary vs. recurrent disease p = 0.0417 Longer evolution time before stabilization in recurrent tumours Kim, 2020 37 Age Tumour status Tumour site (axial vs. extremity) p = 0.022 p = 0.041 p = 0.148 Age, < 40 years and recurrent tumours are predictive factors of longer time to disease stabilization Bonvalot, 2013 10 Change in treatment strategy Pregnancy before the development of DTF Age Tumour size 3.5-5.0 cm (HR 3.7, 95% CI 1.0% to 14%) 5-7 cm (HR 4.0, 95% CI 2.4% to 2.8%) 7-15.6 cm (HR 8.2, 95% CI 2.4% to 28%) p = 0.27 p = 0.27 p = 0.004 Larger tumour size (>3.5) Cassidy, 2018 31 Change in treatment strategy Age Sex Documentation of symptoms at presentation PFS a Age (HR 0.99) Tumour size (HR 1,027) Tumour site extremities/all other sites vs. abdominal wall Tumour site paraspinal/flank vs abdominal wall p = 0.22 p = 0.07 p = 0.35 p = 0.31 p= 0.13 p = 0.54/ p = 0.38 p = 0.01 Colombo, 2015 9 Change in treatment strategy Sex Tumour site Size p = 0.565 p = 0.926 p = 0.397 Turner, 2019 38 Progression Tumour site abdominal wall vs. other sites p = 0.53 Van Houdt, 2019 36 Change in treatment strategy Tumour size >7 cm (HR 2.04, 95% CI 1.29% to 3.21%) Reporting pain PR vs. SD, PD Age Tumour site Sex p < 0.01 p < 0.001 p < 0.001 p = 0.13 p = 0.36 p = 0.84 Larger tumour size (>7 cm), reporting pain, and stable disease or progressive disease are associated with a higher risk of initiation of an active form of treatment CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; PD, progressive disease; PFS.
