Is PET–CT an accurate method for the differential diagnosis between chondroma and chondrosarcoma?
The differential diagnosis between chondroma and intraosseous chondrosarcoma is based on imaging and clinical exams, but only a biopsy can confirm diagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of PET–CT in differen‑ tially diagnosing chondroma and chondrosarcoma. From October 2009 to May 2015, 36 patients with cartilaginous bone lesions in the […]
Analysis of morbidity and mortality in patients with primary bone tumors who underwent sacrectomy: A systematic review
Background: Sacrectomy is indicated for the resection of life-threatening tumors in the sacrum area. Several studies have been conducted to investigate important aspects of sacrectomy to help reduce the morbidity and mortality of patients who underwent the procedure. This aim of this systematic review was to highlight the prognoses of patients who underwent sacrectomy for […]
SELNET clinical practice guidelines for bone sarcoma
Bone sarcoma are infrequent diseases, representing < 0.2% of all adult neoplasms. A multidisciplinary management within reference centers for sarcoma, with discussion of the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies within an expert multidisciplinary tumour board, is essential for these patients, given its heterogeneity and low frequency. This approach leads to an improvement in patient’s outcome, as […]
Prophylactic Antibiotic Regimens In Tumor Surgery (PARITY): a multi-center randomized controlled study comparing alternative antibiotic regimens in patients undergoing tumor resections with endoprosthetic replacements—a statistical analysis plan
Background: Limb salvage with endoprosthetic reconstruction is the current standard practice for the surgical management of lower extremity bone tumors in skeletally mature patients and typically includes tumor resection followed by the functional limb reconstruction with modular metallic and polyethylene endoprosthetic implants. However, owing to the complexity and length of these procedures, as well as […]
What is the impact of local control in Ewing sarcoma: analysis of the first Brazilian collaborative study group – EWING1
Background: Relapse in localized Ewing sarcoma patients has been a matter of concern regarding poor prognosis. Therefore, we investigated the impact of local control modality (surgery, surgery plus radiotherapy, and radiotherapy) on clinical outcomes such as survival and recurrence in patients with non-metastatic Ewing sarcoma treated on the first Brazilian Collaborative Group Trial of the […]
GCT: what happened after 10 years of curettage and cement? retrospective study of 46 cases
Objective: To compare the functional outcome of patients with and without arthrosis, and to determine whether the development of arthrosis is related to the distance of the tumor from the subchondral bone. Methods: Forty six patients treated for Giant-cell tumor (GCT) between 1975 and 1999 met inclusion criteria. GCT was diagnosed by percutaneous biopsy and […]
Circulating tumor cells in desmoid tumors: new perspectives
Introduction: Desmoid tumor (DT) is a rare neoplasm with high local recurrence rates, composed of fibroblastic cells that are characterized by the expression of key molecules, including the intermediate filament vimentin, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and nuclear bcatenin, and lack of epithelial markers. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) isolated from the peripheral blood of patients with sarcomas and […]
Fatores de risco relacionados a má evolução no tratamento da infecção periprótese não convencional
Objetivos O objetivo do estudo é identificar os principais fatores de risco relacionados a má evolução do tratamento da infecção periprótese. Métodos Foram avaliados de forma retrospectiva os prontuários de 109 pacientes submetidos a cirurgias de endoprótese não convencional (primárias e revisões), no período de 01 de janeiro de 2007 a 31 de dezembro de […]
Sarcomas de partes moles nos membros, mais comuns e tão graves quanto os sarcomas ósseos
Os sarcomas musculoesqueléticos são doenças raras que exigem atenção. Frequentemente, apresentam alto grau de malignidade ao diagnóstico e se subestimados podem evoluir de forma agressiva local e sistemicamente. Apresentam-se como sarcoma de partes moles e sarcomas ósseos, sendo os de partes moles quatro a cinco vezes mais comuns. A maioria dos sarcomas de partes moles […]
Ressecção ampla e transposição fibular no tratamento do TCG da extremidade distal do rádio
Objetivo: Avaliação funcional e oncológica do tratamento do TCG do segmento distal do rádio (estadio B3) mediante ressecção ampla e reconstrução com enxerto autólogo avascular da extremidade proximal da fíbula. Métodos: A função residual foi avaliada mediante escore ISOLS, medida do arco residual global do punho operado, do percentual residual da força de preensão da […]
Atualização no estadiamento dos sarcomas ósseos e das partes moles
Os sarcomas ósseos e das partes moles consistem em grupo heterogêneo de neoplasias malignas de origem mesenquimal que podem ocorrer em qualquer faixa etária. O estadiamento preciso destas lesões determina as melhores estratégias terapêuticas e estimativas de prognóstico. Dois sistemas de estadiamento são os mais frequentemente empregados no manejo destas neoplasias: o sistema proposto pelo […]
Estudo histopatológico do trajeto de biópsia de tumores musculoesqueléticos malignos
Objetivo: Verificar se havia risco de contaminação por células neoplásicas no trajeto da biópsia e estudar as alterações histológicas locais. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo prospectivo com trajetos de biópsias de pacientes operados por tumores musculoesqueléticos malignos no Instituto de Ortopedia e Traumatologia da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo no período de abril […]
