Patti Cohenour
Actress, Singer, Director, Writer, Vocal and Acting Coach
Ms. Cohenour is an award winning actress who is currently the official Stand By for Christine Ebersole as Elizabeth Arden in the new musical War Paint. The show is currently running at The Goodman Theater in Chicago through August 21st, 2016.
She has created and performed numerous roles on Broadway including Signora Naccarelli and Margaret Johnson (Alternate) in The Light in the Piazza for Lincoln Center, and just reprised her Signora role at the Vivian Beaumont Theater's 10 Year Anniversary Benefit Concert which celebrated this extraordinary and groundbreaking musical.
Her Broadway debut was in Hal Prince's production of A Doll's Life where she understudied the leading role of Nora which ultimately led her to be cast as the first American actress to play the role of Christine Daae' in the original cast of The Phantom of the Opera. After originating the role of Lily in The Secret Garden Workshop performances, she was given the opportunity to reprise Ms. Daae' with the 1st National Tour of Canada opposite her amazing leading man Jeff Hyslop, and her final performances of the role were presented opposite the remarkable Colm Wilkinson in Toronto.
One of her most memorable performances was as Rosabud in The Mystery Of Edwin Drood winning critical acclaim as well as the Clarence Derwent Award, a Tony and a Drama Desk nomination. She was then honored to reprise the role at the Savoy Theater in London's West End.
She originated the role of Mary Jane Wilkes in Big River; winning a Theater World Award, and a Drama Desk nomination, and portrayed the Mother Abbess in the 1996 revival of The Sound of Music. In 2012 she received a Jeff Award nomination for reprising her Mother Abbess at Chicago's Drury Lane Theatre, and in 2013 was the winner of Seattle's 2013 Gregory Award for her critically acclaimed portrayals of Edith/Little Edie in the 5th Avenue/ACT theatre's production of Grey Gardens.
Other credits include Adeline in Sweet Adeline for NYC's Encores!, Magnolia in Hal Prince's Showboat, Mimi in La Boheme alternating the role with Linda Ronstadt, and Isabel/Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance for the New York Shakespeare Festival, Florence Foster Jenkins in Souvenir for Seattle's ACT Theatre, Maudie in To Kill A Mockingbird for Seattle's Intiman Theatre, Katherine in The Taming of the Shrew for Syracuse Stage, and for Seattle's 5th Avenue she performed Rosabella in Most Happy Fella, Abigail Adams in 1776, and Glinda in The Wizard of Oz. In 2014 she portrayed Mama Murphy in the San Diego Old Globe Theatre's acclaimed production of Steve Martin and Edie Brickell's musical Bright Star, and before that she portrayed the role of Charlotte Bartlett in the 5th Avenue Theatre Premiere of A Room With A View in which she was awarded the Seattle 5th Avenue's Subscriber Choice Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role.
Her concert performances have been conducted by such luminaries as Rob Fisher, Peter Nero, Paul Gemignani, the late Marvin Hamlish and John Dankworth, and she had the honor of performing the World Premiere of Imant Kalnin's Rock Symphony No. 4 with the Detroit Symphony, and the Leipaja Symphony in Leipaja and Riga, Latvia.
Her solo recording To an Isle in the Water: The Poetry of William Butler Yeats was produced by multiple Grammy winner Thomas Z. Shepard, and she can be heard on the cast recordings of Big River, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, the 1996 Revival of The Sound of Music, and The Light in the Piazza.
For the last twenty four years Patti has resided in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, and has performed leading roles in productions for the 5th Avenue, Intiman, ACT, and Seattle Repertory theaters. She has also directed and collaborated in the writing of two one-woman presentations; I Will Wait For You and The Ladies of Lyric and Song, and a new project entitied Myer's Musings for a performer who will present the piece in Fall/Winter of 2016.

Score and Parts
Commissioned by the Schubert Ensemble of London to mark their 20th anniversary.
First performance by the Schubert Ensemble of London at the Brighton Festival, 7 May 2003, and the London premiere at Wigmore Hall, 15 March 2005
"The title refers to the amazing story of Angus McPhee of South Uist who, through many years of mental illness, made sense of his life by making things out of grass--not decorative items but household objects such as hats, clothes and even shoes. For me these remarkable but transient artefacts, more than anything of the avant-garde, raise questions about the purpose of art, being deeply rooted in collective memory while not actually functional (with the possible exception of the hats). They are more like cousins once-removed of art--and at the same time emblems of everyday life. Meanwhile the bending of natural materials into artificial, recognizable forms seems to me akind of composition process. The work forms a continuous sequence but it is in fact a quilt of smaller panels--a collection of related artefacts rather like the grass weavings." -- (Piers Hellawell)

Staci Carter of Muskogee, Okla., has signed a letter of intent to play women's basketball at Bethany College for the 2013-2014 academic year.
Carter, a 6-foot-1 forward, is transferring to Bethany from the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Prior to that she attended Muskogee High School where she averaged 10 points and eight rebounds per game. She had shot 65 percent from the field and 85 percent from the foul line.
"Staci brings much needed depth, size and experience to our front-court," Bethany coach Brett Morehouse said. "She is strong and aggressive and can finish shots in traffic. Although she did not play last year, Staci was not separated from the game of basketball. She worked last season as a high school coach and I think that experience has expanded her knowledge of the game and has fueled her desire to return to the court and finish her playing career."
Carter is the daughter of Richard and Bonnie Carter and plans to major in English.

Northeast softball opens home season during Tigerfest
Northeast Mississippi Community College softball program's TigerFest Tournament has always brought in some of the nation's elite to Booneville.
Northeast's 2011 edition of the TigerFest is no different with 10 teams descending upon the City of Hospitality on Friday, February 25 and Saturday, February 26 for the tournament at Booneville City Park.
Northeast head softball coach Jody Long welcomes nine other teams to Booneville City Park with five of those squads hailing from outside the Magnolia State.
Northwest-Shoals from Phil Campbell, Ala., is Alabama's lone representative in the tournament this year while Illinois puts a pair of teams into the tournament.
Indian Hills and John A. Logan community colleges both have agreed to be a part of the 2011 version of the TigerFest.
Three Rivers out of Missouri as well as Southwest Tennessee from Memphis, Tenn., join Northwest Mississippi, East Central, Itawamba and Copiah-Lincoln in rounding out the 10-team affair.
Long has made a change to the tournament's set up following the reduction in the amount of games teams can play during the season.
Instead of playing a round-robin format to open the tournament and kicking into a single-elimination affair, each team is guaranteed five games in the 2011 TigerFest.
With that change, Booneville City Park becomes a hub of activity with 25 games being played on three fields over a two-day span.
Northeast, which has already knocked of the 2009 and 2010 National Junior College Athletic Association's Division II national champions in Heartland Community College and Muskegon (Mich.) Community College, opens the tournament against Northwest-Shoals (Ala.) at 1 p.m. on Friday, February 25 before taking on Indian Hills (Ill.) at 5 p.m.
Northeast and Northwest-Shoals' game will be the only game played at the 1 p.m. block at Booneville City Park on Friday with Field 2 and 3 seeing a flurry of activity starting at 3 p.m.
Northeast and Northwest-Shoals' contest will also serve as the 2011 home opener for the Lady Tigers. Prior to the TigerFest, Northeast opened the season with two two-day tournaments at the Patriot Bash in Phil Campbell, Ala., and at the Rush Invitational in Meridan.
Saturday sees the most action at Booneville City Park as all three fields are filledfrom 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. with five games on each field for 15 of the tournament's 25 games.
Northeast faces John A. Logan (Ill.) at noon on Saturday before wrapping up the tournament against Three Rivers (Mo.) and Southwest Tenn. at 4 and 6 p.m., respectively.

Underweight baby?

Try eating healthy fatty foods if you're too concerned.

My daughter had IUGR (a growth issue which isn't diagnosed until a little further along). Eat lots of healthy, protien rich foods.
I asked a few weeks ago for healthy weight gaining suggestions because I've lost so much with this pregnancy and worry about growth:
There are some good ones.
They told me my boy @20 weeks/ 13 oz was normal, so she's not that far off. Good luck.
J1: 6 years of precociousness!
J2: Challenging the household since Feb 2013!
Listen to your doc! Don't be afraid to ask questions. Did they suggest anything to you for helping the baby gain?
Momma Lioness to N (3) & A (1)
Step Momma to T (12)
That is not underweight at all! We had our 20 week US and our baby was 9 oz, which the US tech said is completely normal.

I call At+t this am to get answers and to get rid of the monthly charge and was told I needed to speak to the connect tech people directly: there was nothing an AT+T supervisor could help me with. On to the connect tech person who informed me in very broken English there would be a fee of 15$ for his time yesterday and another 110 early termination fee. I am so angry at the underhandedness of AT+t .take note don't get ripped off like we did!!!

New York legislators in both houses passed a bill banning people from taking photos while touching or petting tigers, according to the New York Post.
An Assemblywoman says the law is meant for safety, but it would also destroy a strange trend taking hold on dating sites -- men posting selfies of themselves with tigers.
"They can still pose with bears and monkeys," the assemblywoman said. "They just have to take big cats off their list."

"RE: Fotos out of focus"
@jpFoto......Will Under exposure make the difference?ManuUnder exposing an image will not affect your focus, however, it does affect your overall image quality. It's not my place to tell you how to shoot or setup your camera, but since you have noted here and in your other thread that you are disappointed with your D3200, and would like some suggestions, I would suggest a few things.First, you haven't posted very many images, but a few of the ones that you did post were taken in low light with high shutter speeds, low ISO and wide open; some with flash and some without; and all with custom white balance. You also have chosen manual mode in at least one of your portraits. I think that these settings are a blueprint for disaster. Until you feel comfortable with your camera, manual mode probably isn't a good choice. Also, most built-in flashes do not produce good results used as the primary lighting solution.Second, I have my camera set up as follows and you may want to try a similar setup until you are comfortable with the camera and have experienced some success:1. Auto White Balance.2. Auto ISO Sensitivity ON - ISO 100 - Maximum sensitivity 6400 - Minium shutter speed 1/125. (You may want to set your Maximum sensitivity to 1600, particularly if you are shooting jpegs only).3. I use A (aperture priority) most of the time, but you may want to try using P (programmed auto) until you are comfortable with the camera. I would avoid using AUTO, (the one in green.)Brian's suggestions for your focus settings make very good sense for portraits and other relatively stationary subject.You may also want to pick a copy of Bryan Peterson's, "Understanding Exposure." Here's a link:http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Exposure-3rd-Edition-Photographs/dp/0817439390/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340567495&sr=8-1&keywords=understanding+exposureGood luck and let us know how things work out.jP

Mitt Romney Gets Into the Race
I was in the car driving as former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney prepared to make his formal announcement that he is running for the presidency of the United States. As is typical with such events, the candidate was running a bit behind schedule and so C-Span Radio replayed phone calls from listeners, broadcast earlier in the day. This being C-Span, of course, some of those callers were a little, how do we say, eccentric.
Then, C-Span returned to New Hampshire as Romney took the stage and addressed the crowd. Instantly, I recognized the promise – and the problem - of his candidacy. If it can be said that some of the other presidential aspirants such as Herman Cain, Sarah Palin, Ron Paul and Michelle Bachmann, sound more than a little like one of the crazier callers into C-Span, Romney clearly does not sound like that. He is all sobriety and his lack of pith is remarkable in a politician. But, then the problem became manifest too: Romney may not sound like a C-Span caller, but he does sound like a C-Span host. He is dull: "Macaroni without any salt," as the Italians say.

Job cuts at both wireless service provider Sprint Nextel and mobile phone maker Nokia are looming as competition in the mobile phone business gets more intense.
Nokia announced Tuesday that it will layoff 2,300 employees at its German production plant, while the Wall Street Journal said Sprint is planning extensive layoffs.
At the same time, rumors resurfaced that Sprint is considering returning its headquarters to Overland Park, Kan. The firm's new chief executive officer Dan Hesse has been working and living in Kansas, and Sprint's longtime employees there have been agitating for the headquarters to be moved back there from Reston, Va. The headquarters was moved to Reston after Sprint acquired Nextel. Sprint laid off 5,000 employees last January.
Sprint has been racked with turmoil since the merger as the two firms incompatible networks haven't melded easily. In addition Sprint's $5 billion bet on Mobile WiMax -- a still largely unproven technology -- has complicated the firm's future as it also struggles to deploy advanced CDMA2000 EV-DO wireless technology at the same time.
A Sprint spokesman said the company won't comment on "rumors and speculation when asked about the reports of pending layoffs and a return of the headquarters to Kansas.
While Sprint is dealing with reports of layoffs, as well as takeovers and mergers, Nokia was precise in its announcement that it will close its Bochum, Germany, plant and layoff 2,300 jobs there. "The planned closure of the Bochum production site is necessary to secure Nokia's long-term competitiveness," said Nokia's Veli Sundbaeck, in a statement. "It cannot be operated in a way that meets the requirements for global cost efficiency and for flexible capacity growth." Sundbaeck is Nokia's head of corporate relations and responsibility.
Nokia has been expanding operations in Romania and South Korea, which are expected to make up for some of the production lost by the closing of the German plant. Nokia's sales and profits have been soaring, and the company's market share in mobile phone handsets is more than its next three competitors combined. The company recently reported an 85% jump in profits. Still, the job cuts are an indication of the growing competition in the marketplace as the major mobile phone players jockey to catch the latest handset and service wave.

Hi, I have an issue here with wp-cron.php. A process apparently runs using this page with this type of request "/wp-cron.php?check=", once or twice an hour all day long without causing any problems.
At about 5:30am edt almost like clockwork, this request starts happening 1 to 2 times a second. I typically end up having to restart the VPS container, to get things back to normal. At times (like today), I was too late, it not only took my VPS node down, it took the entire server down.
First question, is there a way to determine what maybe calling this?
Second question, is there a way to stop this all together until I can figure out what is causing the problem?
WordPress is installed on Windows 2003 server, IIS 6.0, on a VPS node.

Yosemite fire shows water resources at riskAugust 27, 2013
Photo: Jae C. Hong, Associated Press
As the record-breaking Rim Fire continues to consume power lines and structures in its path, the bigger story is its effect on water and power for San Francisco, the East Bay and hundreds of square miles of California farmland. The largest fire in Sierra Nevada history is a sobering reminder that our water resources are at risk, not only from wildfires but also from climate change and a legacy of poorly planned land management.

"I think that if he had harmed himself in any way he would have been found by now. This is a living hell for us. If anybody knows anything they need to tell somebody."
The last time the catering worker was seen was at around 3am on Christmas Day at the cottage he rents with housemates on Sandy Lane in the seaside town of Rush.
He sent a text to his girlfriend wishing her a happy Christmas at 10.30am -- the last known contact he had with anyone.
Since then, his mother and siblings Stephen (29), from nearby Lusk, and Suzanne (27), from Clontarf, have been frantically searching for him.
"The last time I was talking to Paul I felt that maybe there was something on his mind, and some of his friends said he was feeling down about the death of his father," Mary added.
Paul is 5ft 5in tall, slim with blue eyes, and light brown hair.

The Chinese developed a system of medicine 2000 years ago that is still widely used. The biologic actions of approximately 2000 natural products derived from plants, animals, and minerals were recorded and coupled with their notions about man's relationship with the universe and nature. The theories led to the application of a vast number of agents to prevent, diagnose, cure, and alleviate medical conditions. Chinese medical practitioners also noted that many products could interact to influence each other beneficially or adversely, and knowledge of this ability was exploited to write prescriptions with drugs in combination.

Since it began eight years ago and under the expert Music Direction of Dan Perkin, WNO Youth Opera (10-14) has earned itself an excellent reputation due to the high standard of choral singing consistently produced by the group and the quality of their performances.
During term time the group meets each Saturday at WNO Cardiff, offering young singers the opportunity to learn a vast range of repertoire whilst developing vocal and performance skills. The group regularly works with professional musicians, directors and performances range from informal sharing with friends and family, choral concerts to fully staged operatic productions. Membership requires no previous experience, and there are no auditions, all we ask is a regular commitment and enthusiasm for learning new skills and making new friends.
Recent productions include a newly commissioned UK premiere tour The Face in the Mirror composed by Lynne Plowman and a live broadcast performance on BBC Radio Three, The Choir Programme of a new setting of Dylan Thomas' Fernhill composed by Julian Philips.
Many WNO Youth Opera members perform in WNO main house productions in Cardiff and on tour across the UK.
Tutor Dan Perkin
If you are aged between 10 and 14 and would like to get involved, please email Paula Scott.
Unfortunately, the 10-14 group is currently not accepting new members at this time.

Imperfection's Relative for UConn
It was the sort of improbable moment that keeps college-basketball fans coming back every March for the NCAA tournament. The sort of unforeseen and seemingly unforeseeable turn of events that makes college basketball the reliably awesome game that it is. We're speaking, of course, of improbable score through much of Tuesday's NCAA women's final: The University of Connecticut's women's basketball team was trailing Stanford for a good portion of it. Given the degree to which UConn has dominated women's hoops this year, UConn's failure to go wire-to-wire is big news.
Things quickly got back on track and ended as everyone predicted: UConn pulled away thanks to a dazzling scoring outburst by Maya Moore to win 53-47, capping a second straight perfect season with a second straight championship. Amazingly, the Huskies' nine-point first-half deficit was the biggest they'd faced in any game in two years, and their six-point margin of victory was their smallest during their unbeaten streak.
"This only became the perfect stage for their greatness," the Houston Chronicle's Richard Justice writes. "They finally played a terrible half of basketball, finally gave an opponent hope. And they made imperfect look perfect." While UConn's bounce-back win was truly a team effort, tournament most outstanding player Maya Moore was, as her honor suggests, a bit more outstanding than everyone else on the floor.
That's certainly true of Stanford's star center Jayne Appel, who was hobbled by a painful ankle injury and ended her college career with an 0-for-12 effort. "Appel had been unable to practice for five weeks since she first hurt her ankle, and the injury inevitably undermined her usually graceful, swooping moves," the San Francisco Chronicle's Gwen Knapp writes. "When the job called for hustle or muscle, Appel still delivered. … [But] The Stanford team always will wonder what would have happened if Appel had been healthy Tuesday night."
As great as Appel has been, and as brilliant as Moore and her UConn teammates were throughout the Huskies' run, the breakout star of the tournament didn't play in Tuesday's final. Baylor's 6-foot-8 freshman center, Brittney Griner, changed games — and may yet change the sport — with her shot-blocking and inside play. Even scarier, Griner is still growing. Just how great Griner will become, both on and off the court, remains to be seen, but Guy Trebay argues in the New York Times that Griner is already challenging aesthetic expectations.
At Jezebel, Sadie Stein sends Trebay's argument several rows into the seats. "What 'changing standards' are we talking about?" Stein wonders. "Tall and thin have been the standard of at least high-fashion beauty (which is how the author seems to define it) for the past few decades. And by any standard, Griner is a conventionally pretty woman — is this radical new paradigm shift an acceptance of…tall women?" At Slate, Hanna Rosin parses the fraught gender politics of women's hoops.

It took everything Arsenal had to pull out a 2-2 draw with FC Barcelona in Champions League play last week. Given that the tie entailed a heroic comeback and happened at home, few gave the Gunners a chance at Barcelona's Camp Nou on Tuesday. Arsenal did lose, 4-1, and it was how the team lost that became the talk of the soccer world. Lionel Messi scored all four of Barca's goals in the victory, bouncing Arsenal from the Champions League and … wait, four goals in one game?
It's an astonishing effort, but it's something close to par for the defending world player of the year during an out-of-his-mind hot streak. "We get spoiled, basically," the Daily Telegraph's Mike Norrish writes. "And once [sportsmen have] reached that level, they have to produce something pretty damn special to shock us out of our seats again. Currently, though, Messi is doing exactly that on a weekly basis. He has now scored three hat-tricks in his last seven starts. Consider that for a second. Three goals in seven starts is rightly considered a decent tally for a world-class forward."
Stay tuned here Wednesday afternoon for a live blog of another Champions League quarterfinal, between Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

Did Tiger Woods enjoy his lunch on Tuesday? Or did it seem like he was just pretending to enjoy his lunch?
If you're curious, surely that issue — among other burning Tiger-related business — will be covered soon on the cable sports channel (or cable news channel) of your choice. Once the golf portion of the Masters starts Thursday, the hype-intensive portion of the event hopefully will wind down. Wednesday's traditional pre-tournament Masters Par-3 Contest should offer a nice opportunity for golfers and golf fans alike to catch their collective breath.
This sublimely mellow exhibition offers the players an opportunity to blow off some steam — often with kids, spouses, or famous buddies as caddies — and offers everyone else a chance to be awed at how good those players are when they're just blowing off steam. It's laid-back and fun, which is more than can be said for the coverage of how much Tiger enjoyed his club sandwich.
* * *
With all that basketball winding down and all this golf coming up, fans could be forgiven for barely noticing that the baseball season has started. But the 2010 season is indeed under way, and while it's tough to tell what 2010′s big stories will be given that there are still 160-odd games left in the season, we'll have a long summer to figure all that out.
It seems safe to assume that the Mets' push for the first undefeated season in baseball history will be a big deal until at least Wednesday night, but the emerging phenomenon of Atlanta Braves outfielder Jason Heyward likely will be a big story for longer than that. On Opening Day, the Braves sold 500 T-shirts and jerseys with the J-Hey kid's name on the back … after the fifth inning.
Heyward's still just 20 years old, which is a pretty good age for a phenom, all told. Hideki Matsui is 35, but the erstwhile Godzilla's rapturously received arrival in Anaheim as the new cleanup hitter for the Los Angeles Angels is proof that not all phenoms are kids.
The fans who christened the Edison Field outfield "Matsuiland" are doing their best to make Matsui feel at home. The Phillies fans who invaded Washington D.C.'s Nationals Park for Philadelphia's season-opening series against the Nats, on the other hand, are seeking to turn the home team into de facto visitors. On Opening Day, at least, they succeeded. At Nats Insider, Mark Zuckerman reveals how Phillies fans managed to occupy the nation's capital. As with any invasion this ambitious, chartered buses and tailgate parties are involved.

His minimalist approach to exercise belies the complexity of his system and the deep insight into exactly how the body works and the best way to get from A to Z in the shortest time possible. Sprinkled throughout the entire book are too-many-to-count insights and advice from a man who has come to his knowledge the hard way and knows exactly of what he speaks. But what Coach Wade does better than any before him is his unbelievable progressions on every exercise and stretch.

Old Tyre Sculptures
These old tyre sculptures created by Korean artist Yong Ho Ji are next level. Created from shreds of old tyres, Yong Ho Ji's art features larger-than-life creatures, mythical beasts, human-animal hybrids and ferocious animal species. Some of these old tyre sculptures are up to 9 feet high! Especially impressive given that tyres aren't the easiest material to work with.

New violence in Israel and West Bank
The Spin - Defies Logic?
To the terrorist organization Hamas and its sympathizers, Israel is to blame for the use of tunnels from Gaza to sneak into the Jewish State to raid, kill and kidnap Israelis.
The Israelis are to blame for using tunnels to smuggle in armaments and missiles to fire into Israel.
If Israel would simply open the border, demilitarize the area, there would be no reason or use for the tunnels.
In other words, the terrorists would then be free to walk across the border, kill and kidnap Israelis without having to resort to building tunnels.
There would then be no need to smuggle weapons and bombs into Gaza by tunnel if Israel would stop its barricade and allow free movement of weapons of mass destruction.
The reason civilians are being killed is Israel trying to root out Hamas and other jihadists. Hamas and jihadists have no choice, but to store weapons in United Nations facilities and to hide out in the civilian population since Israel is hellbent on defending itself from attacks.
If Israel would stand down, no civilians would be killed. Hamas, along with other jihadists, would not have to use civilians as shields to protect themselves.
Ignore that the only successful outcome called for by Hamas is the total annihilation of the nation of Israel. It is Israel's fault for existing.
From the Cornfield, I am sorry. This defies all logic.
Yes, I lament the loss of life by both sides. I lament the tragedy of civilians being used as pawns and fodder to be cut down like hay.
But let's be real.
Put the blame where it belongs.

Objectives: This study aimed to describe the clinicopathologic characteristics and outcomes and to assess the predictors associated with prognosis in endometrial carcinoma that developed bone metastasis.
Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was performed to identify the patients with endometrial carcinoma who developed bone metastasis between October 1994 and May 2012.
Results: Of the 1185 patients with endometrial carcinoma, 22 (1.8%) were identified with bone metastasis, and 21 patients were analyzed in the study. Seventeen (80.9%) patients had advanced-stage disease (2009 International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians stages III-IV). Four (19.0%) patients had a bone lesion at the diagnosis of endometrial cancer. The median time of recurrence to the bone in 17 patients was 9 months (range, 2–43 months). The median overall survival (OS) and survival after bone metastasis of the entire cohort were 33 months (range, 9–57 months) and 15 months (range, 12–17 months), respectively. The patients with bone metastasis at recurrence had significantly longer OS than those patients with bone metastasis at diagnosis of endometrial cancer (36 vs 13 months; P = 0.042). Metastasis to extrapelvic bone was significantly associated with longer OS (46 vs 19 months; P = 0.001) and longer survival after bone metastasis (25 vs 12 months; P = 0.002). Isolated bone recurrence without extraosseous metastases and extrapelvic bone metastasis revealed independent predictors for survival after bone metastasis (hazard ratio, 0.09; 95% confidence interval, 0.01–0.67; P = 0.019 and hazard ratio, 0.07; 95% confidence interval, 0.01–0.53; P = 0.01).
Conclusions: In endometrial carcinoma that develops bone metastasis, isolated bone recurrence and extrapelvic bone metastasis are significant predictors of prolonged survival after the diagnosis of bone metastasis. Further researches on the optimal treatment modality and factors that have the clinical implications are warranted.
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in developed countries.1 The incidence rates of endometrial cancer are steadily rising from 2.6% in 2000 to 5.0% in 2010 in South Korea, accounting for an estimated 1752 new cases and 222 deaths in 2010.2 Endometrial cancer with early-stage disease was diagnosed in more than 75% of the patients because most patients have obvious symptoms, including abnormal vaginal bleeding. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate is 80% to 85%.3 However, for patients with advanced-stage disease and those with recurrent endometrial cancer, the prognosis remains poor.
Endometrial cancer recurrence mostly occurs within the pelvis. Most distant recurrences develop within lymph nodes, lung, or liver.4,5 Bone involvement in endometrial cancer is rare and the prevalence is variously reported (0%–15%).6–8 Although metastases to the bone are thought to result from hematologic dissemination, the mechanism of bone metastasis is not clearly understood. It can be associated with primary tumor behavior, vascular supply, immune system, and bone environment.9
Once bone metastasis develops, neoplastic progress becomes incurable and the chances of survival of the patients are decreased. Moreover, bone metastases cause suffering because of severe pain, pathologic fracture, and disability. Therefore, early diagnosis and proper treatment could lead to better quality of life in patients with bone metastasis. There is some research on patients with endometrial cancer who developed bone metastasis. However, because of its rarity, almost all the published studies are case reports describing unusual cases of bone metastasis.
In this study, we describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 21 patients with endometrial cancer who developed bone metastasis. In addition, we investigate the prognostic factors associated with disease-related survival, which provide further understanding of bone metastasis in endometrial cancer.
This was a retrospective study of patients with endometrial cancer who developed bone metastasis using the electronic medical records. With institutional review board approval, we identified patients whose conditions were diagnosed with endometrial cancer between October 1994 and May 2012 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Samsung Medical Center. Of the patients with endometrial cancer, this study included the patients whose conditions were diagnosed to have bone metastasis either at the time of diagnosis or at recurrence, as the primary site, with or without concomitant lesions. Bone metastasis was diagnosed with histologic confirmation by a bone biopsy or with positive results on more than 2 radiographic imaging investigations without a biopsy. Patients with any history of malignancy and with uterine sarcomas or carcinosarcomas were excluded in this study.
With a comprehensive review of the medical records, clinicopathologic data and clinical outcomes of the patients with endometrial carcinoma who developed bone metastasis were evaluated. Staging was determined according to the 2009 FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Oncology) staging system.10 The number of bone metastases was categorized as being either single or multiple according to the location of the involved bone.
Clinical characteristics were summarized using descriptive statistics. Survival was calculated as the number of months, and survival probabilities were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Log-rank test was used to identify the predictors of disease-related survival, and Cox proportional hazards model was used for the multivariate analysis. Overall survival was defined as the time from diagnosis of endometrial cancer to death or last follow-up. Survival after bone metastasis was defined as the time from diagnosis of bone metastasis to death or last follow-up. All P values were 2 tailed and considered significant if less than 0.05. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software (version 18.0; SPSS, Chicago, Ill).
Endometrial cancer was diagnosed in 1185 patients during the study period. Of these patients, 22 (1.8%) had bone metastasis. One patient was excluded because of a history of breast cancer. Therefore, 21 patients were included in the study.
The characteristics of these patients are summarized in Table 1. The median age at diagnosis of endometrial cancer in 21 patients was 59 years (range, 28–72 years). Although bone metastasis occurred in all stages, most patients had advanced-stage disease (2009 FIGO stages III-IV, 17/21 [80.9%]). Of the 3 patients who had the early-stage disease (IB), 1 patient had serous adenocarcinoma with lymphovascular space invasion, 1 patient had grade 2 and 4-cm endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and 1 patient had grade 3 endometrioid adenocarcinoma with lymph-vascular space invasion.
Eight (38.1%) patients had endometrioid carcinoma, and 13 (61.9%) patients showed nonendometrioid histology including serous adenocarcinoma (n = 5), clear cell carcinoma (n = 1), poorly differentiated carcinoma (n = 2), villoglandular adenocarcinoma (n = 1), and adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (n = 4). Most of the tumors had grade 2 or 3 differentiation, and in the 18 patients who underwent a surgery, 12 (12/18, 66.7%) showed deep myometrial invasion (≥ 1/2 invasions to the myometrium). Three patients with clinical stage IVB received chemotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) without surgery as a primary treatment. As postoperative adjuvant treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or CCRT was performed. Most patients received platinum-containing combination chemotherapy. Chemotherapeutic regimens included the combinations of taxane and platinum in 4 patients and cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and platinum in 2 patients. During the CCRT, platinum-based chemotherapy was used in all patients.
Most patients presented symptoms with pain (81%) or fracture (9.5%) at the time of diagnosis of bone metastasis. The conditions of the 2 patients were diagnosed on routine recurrent work-up. Bone metastasis was diagnosed in 3 (14.3%) patients by bone biopsy, and the most commonly used imaging modality was positron emission tomography scan (47.6%) followed by bone scan (23.8%). Of the 21 patients, 4 (19%) had their bone metastasis identified simultaneously with the primary diagnosis of endometrial cancer, and 17 (81%) patients developed bone metastasis as a recurrence. The median time of recurrence to the bone in these 17 patients was 9 months (range, 2–43 months). Ten (47.6%) patients had a single bone lesion, and 11 (52.4%) patients had multiple bone metastases at more than 2 sites (Table 2).
At the diagnosis of bone metastasis, 13 (61.9%) patients had a coexisting extraosseous metastatic lesion, and the lung (8/13, 61.5%) was the most common coexisting visceral metastatic site. Other sites were the liver, brain, and lymph nodes including the supraclavicular and para-aortic lymph nodes. Ten (47.6%) patients had only extrapelvic bone metastasis (Table 2). The distribution of bone metastases was predominantly to the axial skeleton. The total locations of bone metastases were 36 in the 21 patients. The most common locations of bone metastasis were the vertebral spine (16/36, 44.4%) and pelvis (10/36, 27.8%). Additional unusual locations of bone metastasis were as follows: rib (n = 2), femur (n = 2), acetabulum (n = 2), clavicle (n = 1), parietal bone (n = 1), scapula (n = 1), and humerus (n = 1). There were no patients with hypercalcemia (reference, 8.4–10.2 mg/dL) because of the bone metastasis.
Patients received treatment with surgical resection (n = 2, 9.5%), radiotherapy (n = 4, 19%), chemotherapy (n = 6, 28.6%), or both (n = 7, 33.3%) as the salvage therapy after bone metastasis. Two (9.5%) patients received supportive care because of a predicted short life expectancy and unfavorable performance status (Table 2). These 2 patients died of the disease 9 days and 22 days after the diagnosis of bone metastasis. Of the 2 patients who underwent surgical resection, cranioplasty was performed in 1 patient with parietal bone metastasis, and laminectomy with fixation was performed in 1 patient who developed gait disturbance by compressive fracture of the thoracic spine metastasis.
The median follow-up time was 21 months (range, 2–78 months). At the date of data analysis, a total of 15 patients died of the disease. The median OS and median survival after bone metastasis of the entire cohort were 33 months (range, 9–57 months) and 15 months (range, 12–17 months), respectively. The OS of patients with bone metastasis at recurrence was significantly longer than that of patients with bone metastasis at the primary diagnosis of endometrial cancer (36 vs 13 months; P = 0.042; Fig. 1A). Metastasis only to the extrapelvic bone was significantly associated with longer OS (46 vs 19 months; P = 0.001) and longer survival after bone metastasis (25 vs 12 months; P = 0.002; Fig. 1B and Fig. 2). In the multivariate analysis, isolated bone recurrence without extraosseous metastases and extrapelvic bone metastasis revealed independent predictors for survival after bone metastasis (HR, 0.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.01–0.67; P = 0.019 and HR, 0.07; 95% CI, 0.01–0.53; P = 0.01; Table 3). Age, initial stage, histology, and number of bone metastasis were not associated with the OS and survival after bone metastasis.
The principal findings of this study are that extrapelvic bone metastasis and isolated bone recurrence are the prognostic factors for prolonged survival after bone metastasis in patients with endometrial carcinoma who developed bone metastases. Another finding of our study is that the patients with bone metastasis as a recurrence have longer survival than patients with endometrial carcinoma who developed bone metastasis at presentation. In addition, our study is one of the largest cohorts of bone metastasis in endometrial carcinoma that describes the clinical features and outcomes.
On the basis of our results, the patients with pelvic bone metastasis showed poor prognosis compared with patients with extrapelvic bone metastasis. Irradiation to the pelvic area such as whole pelvic radiotherapy and brachytherapy is the standard treatment for postoperative adjuvant or primary therapy in endometrial cancer. In the study, most patients (15/21, 71%) received pelvic radiation. In recurrent or metastatic endometrial cancer, the relapse of the disease within the previous radiation demonstrated a prognostic factor for poor survival in the previous literature.5 Similar results have been reported in cervical cancer, where a lower therapeutic response was shown in patients with relapse within the radiotherapy field.11 The reason for this is not fully understood, and this may reflect biologic differences. Radioresistant endometrial cancers may have unfavorable biologic factors, and the aggressiveness of these cancers may be associated with a lower response to treatment and rapid progression of disease.
Another finding of the study is that OS was significantly shorter in patients who had bone dissemination at the diagnosis of endometrial cancer than those patients with bone metastasis at disease recurrence. Kehoe et al6 reported similar results. They showed that the OS of those patients with bone metastases at primary diagnosis was 17 months (95% CI, 2–32) compared with 32 months (95% CI, 14–49) for those with recurrent bone metastasis. In addition, the authors reported that survival after bone metastasis is longer in patients with disease recurrence in the bone.
The occurrence of bone metastases secondary to endometrial cancer is very rare and is variously reported. Recently, Uccella et al7 reported that the exact frequency of bone metastases in endometrial cancer is less than 1% through the review of published literatures. In their series, the overall incidence of bone dissemination was presented in 0.8%, and the incidence of bone metastases at presentation with endometrial cancer was presented in 0.12%. In our series, the former was in 1.8% (22/1185) and the later was in 0.3% (4/1185). In another large series, only 21 patients were identified to have a bone metastasis among 6144 patients with endometrial cancer.6 The difference of diagnostic methods for bone metastasis or incidence of endometrial cancer may be associated with this distinction.
Tumor histology is a known prognostic factor in endometrial cancer. Some literatures reported that nonendometrioid histology is associated with poor prognosis in recurrent endometrial cancer5,12 and is a predictor of hematogenous dissemination in endometrial cancer.13 Similar result was reported in patients with endometrial cancer who developed bone metastasis. The authors found that the survival after bone metastasis is significantly longer in patients with endometrioid histology than those patients with nonendometrioid histology. In addition, this study showed that the patients with single bone metastasis have a better prognosis.7 However, in our results, tumor histology and number of involved bones were not associated with the outcomes of the patients. Further studies are warranted to identify the clinical implications of tumor histology and the number of involved bones in endometrial cancer that developed bone metastasis.
Similar to previous studies,6,7 the axial skeleton (vertebral spine, pelvic bone, and rib) was the predominant metastatic sites in the study. Metastasis to the spine account for 44.4%, and the most common site was thoracic spine followed by lumbar spine. In this study, the median survival after diagnosis of bone metastasis was 15 months, which is comparable with the 12 months and 10 months reported previous literatures.6,7 The median OS of patients with bone metastasis was 33 months in our result. This result was a relatively good outcome compared with the previous studies; the authors reported the median OS as 18 months and 25 months.6,7
Currently, there is no standard treatment for the patients with endometrial cancer who developed bone metastasis because of the limited number of studies with small cases due to their rarity. Treatment options include directed radiation therapy, systemic chemotherapy, surgical resection, and hormonal therapy. The selection of therapy is based on the sites and number of involved bones, concomitant extraosseous metastasis, type of previous treatment, and patients' performance status. According to the literatures from other solid tumors (ie, prostate or breast cancer), bisphosphonate could be considered as the treatment modality.14,15 Furthermore, further studies are required regarding the bone-targeting agents such as denosumab in breast and prostate cancers with bone metastasis.16
Our study is limited by its retrospective design and by the heterogeneity of patients and treatment strategies because of the long-term follow-up study. The study has the small number of patients, although it is the largest case series regarding patients with endometrial cancer who developed bone metastasis.
In conclusion, the median OS and median survival after bone metastasis are 33 months and 15 months in patients with endometrial cancer who developed bone metastasis, respectively. Recurrence to extrapelvic bone has a more favorable outcome than recurrence to the pelvic bone, and isolated bone recurrence without visceral metastasis is a predictor for survival after the diagnosis of bone metastasis. In addition, patients with bone involvement that occurred as a recurrence have a longer survival than those patients with bone involvement at presentation with endometrial cancer. Further researches on the optimal treatment modality and factors that have clinical implications are required.
