Summary

Remarkable progress has been made in treating germ-cell tumor (GCT) through the use of platinum-based regimens. However, part of yolk sac tumor (YST) with cisplatin resistance or recurrence is nevertheless prone to relapse after second-line treatment. This leaves a gap in effective treatment, which needs to be filled by novel therapeutic approaches. This paper is the first one to report the treatment combining sirolimus with nab-paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and carboplatin (S-TIC) for children with repeated relapsed or refractory yolk sac tumor (rrrYST).

Conditions

  • Germ Cell Tumor
  • Yolk Sac Tumor

Interventions

DRUG

sirolimus combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of recurrent/refractory yolk sac tumor in children

The planned treatment protocol comprised four cycles of the S-TIC regimen, which included sirolimus administered orally at a dose of 1 mg/m² from day 1 to day 21-28, nab-paclitaxel at a dose of 200 mg/m² on day 1, ifosfamide at a dose of 1200 mg/m² from day 2 to day 5, and carboplatin at a dose of 400 mg/m² on day 2. Additionally, mesna and sulfamethoxazole were prescribed to prevent hemorrhagic cystitis and Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia (PJP), respectively. Each cycle spanned a duration of three to four weeks. AFP levels were evaluated at the end of each cycle, and radiological assessments were conducted every two cycles. Surgical intervention decisions were made based on the results of these assessments.
