Global, regional, and national burden and trends analysis of malignant neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage from 1990 to 2021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. Bone 2024; 188:117212. [PMID: 39059750 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage (MNBAC) is one of the causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. To date, there is a lack of detailed studies on the disease burden of MNBAC. METHODS Data on the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of MNBAC from 1990 to 2021 were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease study. We estimated the trends in the burden of MNBAC by calculating the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) in age-standardized rates by region, country, and social development index. RESULTS Globally, the cases of incidence and deaths of MNBAC showed a significant upward trend. In 2021, the global incidence cases of MNBAC were 91,375.1 (73,780.4-102,469.7), and the number of deaths was 66,114.3 (53,305.4-74,466.9). The age-standardized incidence, mortality, and DALYs rates were all on the rise, with EAPCs of 0.59 (0.51 to 0.68), 0.11 (0.02 to 0.21), and 0.08 (0 to 0.17), respectively. In 2021, China had the highest number of incidence cases and deaths. Two peaks in incidence cases and deaths were observed in the 15-19 and 65-69 age groups, with incidence rates and death rates generally increasing with age, and higher in males than females. The region with the highest incidence cases, deaths, and age-standardized incidence rate was East Asia, while Eastern Sub-Saharan Africa had the highest age-standardized mortality, and DALYs rates. CONCLUSION From 1990 to 2021, the global burden of MNBAC has continued to increase, particularly in East Asia, which faces the highest number of incidence cases and deaths, while Eastern Sub-Saharan Africa faces the highest ASMR and ASDR. To mitigate this burden, different regions should develop cancer control actions based on their respective epidemiological characteristics, with a focus on the elderly and adolescents, and control of risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osseous tumors of the foot and ankle are rarely encountered in general orthopaedic practice and represent only 3% of osseous neoplasms. It can be difficult to distinguish between benign and malignant lesions, leading to misdiagnosis. This is the main cause of litigation in sarcoma of the extremities. Poor understanding of how sarcomas present in this region can lead to inappropriate initial procedures, limiting options for limb salvage and increasing rates of local recurrence. Our aim is to improve understanding of these rare tumors to reduce misdiagnosis and decrease the occurrence of inappropriate or unwarranted procedures. METHODS We retrospectively analysed a prospectively maintained database of 288 new referrals to the West of Scotland regional musculoskeletal oncology service for osseous lesions of the foot, ankle and lower leg over a 10-year period. An analysis of patient demographics, presentation, anatomical location, diagnosis, classification, management and outcomes was performed. RESULTS Of all new referrals, 52.4% were diagnosed with primary benign osseous tumors, 8.7% with primary malignant osseous tumors, 9.7% with metastatic osseous lesions, and 29.2% pseudotumors. The most common primary benign tumor in our population was osteoid osteoma (18.5%), primary malignant tumor was osteosarcoma (32%) and metastatic osseous lesions were from small cell lung cancer primary (14.3%). In the foot and ankle, malignant bone tumors most commonly presented in the distal tibia and fibula (20%). Rest pain was the most common symptom at presentation in all groups, followed by swelling. The average duration of symptoms was 5 months for malignant lesions before primary referral. CONCLUSION Bone tumors in the foot and ankle remain a diagnostic challenge. We hope to have increased understanding of these rare lesions and have recommended a management protocol in order to reduce the number of inappropriate procedures performed, optimising clinical outcomes and reducing the cost of litigation to healthcare services. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III- Cross-sectional observational study.

Abstract
Patients diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma (STS) often present at intermediate to advanced stages, with inherently limited therapeutic options available. There is an urgent need to identify novel therapeutic targets. In this study, by screening STS data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases, KIFC1 is identified as a potential biomarker and a promising therapeutic target for STS. Notably, a significant increase in KIFC1 levels, which exhibited a strong correlation with a poor prognosis in STS patients is observed. The findings revealed that knockout of KIFC1 suppressed STS growth both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, KIFC1 is found to regulate cellular senescence in STS, which has not been reported before. that targeting KIFC1 induced cellular senescence via interacting with FXR1, an RNA-binding protein is discovered, thereby further stabilizing MAD2L1 mRNA in an m6A-dependent manner. Additionally, the suppression of KIFC1 markedly diminished the growth of patient-derived xenografts (PDX) and triggered senescence. This study provides the first evidence that KIFC1 inhibition induces cellular senescence through MAD2L1, underscoring KIFC1 as a novel prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for STS.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chordomas are malignant tumors that destroy bones, compress surrounding nerve tissues and exhibit phenotypes that recapitulate notochordal differentiation in the axial skeleton. Chordomas recur frequently, as they resist radio-chemotherapy and are difficult to completely resect, leading to repeated bone destruction and local expansion via unknown mechanisms. Here, using chordoma specimens and JHC7 chordoma cells, we asked whether chordoma cells possess bone-dissolving activity. METHODS CT imaging and histological analysis were performed to evaluate the structure and mineral density of chordoma-invaded bone and osteolytic marker expression. JHC7 cells were subjected to immunocytochemistry, imaging of cell fusion, calcium dynamics and acidic vacuoles, and bone lysis assays. RESULTS In patients, we found that the skull base invaded by chordoma was highly porous, showed low mineral density and contained brachyury-positive chordoma cells and conventional osteoclasts both expressing the osteolytic markers tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and collagenases. JHC7 cells expressed TRAP and cathepsin K, became multinucleated via cell-cell fusion, showed spontaneous calcium oscillation, and were partly responsive to the osteoclastogenic cytokine RANKL. JHC7 cells exhibited large acidic vacuoles, and nonregulatory bone degradation without forming actin rings. Finally, bone-derived factors, calcium ions, TGF-β1, and IGF-1 enhanced JHC7 cell proliferation. CONCLUSION In chordoma, we propose that in addition to conventional bone resorption by osteoclasts, chordoma cells possess bone-dissolving activity at the tumor-bone boundary. Furthermore, bone destruction and tumor expansion may occur in a positive feedback loop.

Abstract
Adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) from the release of chromium and cobalt ions in metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (MoM THA) is a well-reported complication, but there is little evidence suggesting that this inflammatory reaction causes malignancy. We present a 69-year-old female with MoM THA who developed synovial sarcoma (SS). She underwent mass resection and revision THA. Postoperative pathologic analysis revealed the unanticipated diagnosis of SS. She subsequently underwent chemotherapy, sarcoma resection, and endoprosthetic reconstruction. We hypothesize that the SS developed from an ALTR in the setting of failed MoM THA. Given the paucity of data on possible malignant transformation of an ALTR to SS, we advise surgeons to consider potential malignancies when diagnosing ALTR in the setting of failed MoM THA bearings.

Abstract
PURPOSE The literature on skull base chondrosarcoma (CHS) is scarce. We report outcomes for pediatric and young patients ≤22 years with base of skull CHSs treated with proton-based radiation therapy (PBRT). METHODS AND MATERIALS We retrospectively reviewed all patients treated with PBRT between 1981 and 2023. Primary endpoints were overall survival (OS), chondrosarcoma-specific survival (CSS), progression-free survival (PFS), local control, and distal control. RESULTS Eighty-four patients were identified. Median age at diagnosis was 19 years (range, 6-22). Most patients (n = 79, 94%) had conventional CHS, whereas 5 (6%) had mesenchymal CHS. Nine patients (11%) underwent gross total resection, 64 (76%) subtotal resection, and 11 patients (13%) underwent biopsy. Twenty-four (29%) patients progressed before radiation therapy. The median prescription dose was 70 Gy (relative biological equivalent) (range, 50-79.7). At a median follow-up of 18.0 years (IQR, 9.2-26.2) from diagnosis, 11 patients recurred (7 local, 4 distant). Six patients died of disease. Five patients died of other causes. Ten-year OS, CSS, and PFS rates for all patients were 93.3%, 94.7%, and 88%, respectively. Twenty-year OS, CSS, and PFS rates for conventional CHS (n = 79) were 93.1%, 97.1%, and 89.2%, respectively. Mesenchymal histology was significantly associated with worse OS and PFS. Preradiation therapy tumor progression portended worse OS and CSS. Eight patients (9.9 %) experienced a late toxicity grade 3 or greater. CONCLUSIONS This is the largest cohort of pediatric base of skull CHSs in literature to date. High-dose PBRT after surgical resection achieves excellent disease control with minimal toxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Spinal chondrosarcoma exhibits higher invasiveness and a worse prognosis compared to chondrosarcoma in the extremities. The prognosis and therapeutic plan vary greatly among different pathological subtypes of chondrosarcoma. This study aimed to analyze the differences in clinical characteristics, molecular features, therapeutic effects, and prognostic factors among the subtypes of chondrosarcoma in the spine. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on 205 patients with spinal chondrosarcoma. The clinical features and immunohistochemical (IHC) markers were compared among the pathological subtypes of chondrosarcoma grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MCS), dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DCS), and clear cell chondrosarcoma (CCCS). Chondrosarcoma grade 1/2/3 are collectively referred to as conventional chondrosarcoma (CCS) for multivariate survival analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to investigate independent prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with spinal chondrosarcoma. Furthermore, independent prognostic factors for OS and RFS were identified in CCS and MCS. RESULTS MCS patients were younger than the other subtypes. Patients with chondrosarcoma grade 1/2 had better OS than those with chondrosarcoma grade 3, MCS and DCS, while only chondrosarcoma grade 1 patients showed better RFS than chondrosarcoma grade 2/3, MCS and DCS patients. Ki-67 index was higher in chondrosarcoma grade 3, MCS and DCS than chondrosarcoma grade 1/2. The comparison of IHC markers further highlighted the overexpression of P53/MDM2 in MCS and DCS. Gross total resection, including en-bloc and piecemeal resection, significantly improved OS and RFS for CCS patients, while only en-bloc resection significantly improved the prognosis of MCS patients. Chemotherapy appeared to be important for the OS of MCS patients. CONCLUSION P53/MDM2 pathway was upregulated in MCS and DCS compared to chondrosarcoma grade 1/2. Radical tumor resection is crucial for the treatment of spinal chondrosarcoma, while MCS patients require further comprehensive treatments perioperatively.

Abstract
Exploring the causal relationship between sarcopenia and neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage (NBAC) by bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR). Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data on sarcopenia-associated traits including appendicular lean mass, low handgrip strength (including criteria from the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People and the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health), and usual walking speeds were obtained from the UK Biobank. GWAS data for NBAC (benign and malignant) were provided by the Finnish Genetic Database. Three different methods of MR analysis, including inverse-variance weighted, Mendelian randomized Egger regression, and weighted median methods, were utilized. MR analysis showed that high appendicular lean mass was positively associated with the risk of developing benign NBAC (odds ratio and 95% confidence interval = 1.236 (1.026,1.489), p = 0.025). At the same time, there is no statistically significant association was found between traits related to sarcopenia and malignant neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage. There was also no reverse causal correlation between NBAC and traits related to sarcopenia. In European populations, better appendicular lean body mass is positively associated with the risk of benign neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage, representing the possibility that sarcopenia may be a protective factor against neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage.

Abstract
There are currently no targeted delivery systems to satisfactorily treat bone-related disorders. Many clinical drugs consisting of small organic molecules have a short circulation half-life and do not effectively reach the diseased tissue site. This coupled with repeatedly high dose usage that leads to severe side effects. With the advance in nanotechnology, drugs contained within a nano-delivery device or drugs aggregated into nanoparticles (nano-drugs) have shown promises in targeted drug delivery. The ability to design nanoparticles to target bone has attracted many researchers to develop new systems for treating bone related diseases and even repurposing current drug therapies. In this review, we shall summarise the latest progress in this area and present a perspective for future development in the field. We will focus on calcium-based nanoparticle systems that modulate calcium metabolism and consequently, the bone microenvironment to inhibit disease progression (including cancer). We shall also review the bone affinity drug family, bisphosphonates, as both a nano-drug and nano-delivery system for bone targeted therapy. The ability to target and release the drug in a controlled manner at the disease site represents a promising safe therapy to treat bone diseases in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracranial mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (IMC) is a rare malignant tumor in pediatric population. IMC can present as extra- or intra-axial lesion in pediatric patients, though the former is commoner causing raised intracranial pressure (ICP). Radiological diagnosis is a challenge in these cases, as is it difficult to differentiate these from other extra-axial neoplasms due to the wide differential diagnosis in pediatric population. We aim to systematically review the literature and present a rare case of extraskeletal intracranial mesenchymal chondrosarcoma treated with safe maximal resection. METHODS A systematic review of literature was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. PubMed and Scopus databases were queried using the search terms, "primary intracranial chondrosarcoma", "extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma", "mesenchymal chondrosarcoma" and "pediatric". Presentation, surgical management and outcome of a 15-year-old male with an extraskeletal IMC are also described. RESULTS The search yielded 25 articles which met the inclusion criteria. These published records consisted of 33 IMC cases with mean age at presentation of 9.81 ± 5.2 years (range 2 months to 18 years). Frontal region was the commonest locations (11, 33.3%). Most common presentation was headache (14, 42.4%). All patients underwent surgical intervention: gross total resection (20, 60.6%), subtotal resection (9, 27.3%) and no extent mentioned (4, 12.1%). No adjuvant therapy was received in 15 patients (45.5%). On latest follow-up, 11 patients (33.3%) are on remission, 5 patients (15.2%) are symptom free, 3 patients (9.1%) had recurrence, 2 patients (6.1%) had metastasis and 9 patients (27.3%) expired. CONCLUSION IMC is a rare entity in pediatric population with imaging findings which are non-characteristic leading to its diagnostic challenge. It can masquerade as other extra-axial intracranial neoplasm (meningioma or hemangiopericytoma). Combination of clinico-radiological and pathological examination can help in accurate diagnosis. Safe Maximal resection followed by radiotherapy is the preferred treatment strategy.

Abstract
Imaging plays a central role in the management of patients with bone tumors. A number of imaging modalities are available, with different techniques having unique applications that render their use advantageous for various clinical purposes. Coupled with detailed clinical assessment, radiological imaging can assist clinicians in reaching a proper diagnosis, determining appropriate management, evaluating response to treatment, and monitoring for tumor recurrence. Although radiography is still the initial imaging test of choice for a patient presenting with a suspected bone tumor, technological innovations in the last decades have advanced the role of other imaging modalities for assessing bone tumors, including advances in computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy, and hybrid imaging techniques that combine two existing modalities, providing clinicians with diverse tools for bone tumor imaging applications. Determining the most suitable modality to use for a particular application requires familiarity with the modality in question, its advancements, and its limitations. This review highlights the various imaging techniques currently available and emphasizes the latest developments in imaging, offering a framework that can help guide the imaging of patients with bone tumors.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the predominant primary malignant bone tumor that poses a significant global health challenge. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) that regulate gene expression are associated with osteosarcoma pathogenesis. Thus, miRNAs are potential therapeutic targets for osteosarcoma. Nanoparticles, widely used for targeted drug delivery, facilitate miRNA-based osteosarcoma treatment. Numerous studies have focused on miRNA delivery using nanoparticles to inhibit the progress of osteosarcoma. Polymer-based, lipid-based, inorganic-based nanoparticles and extracellular vesicles were used to deliver miRNAs for the treatment of osteosarcoma. They can be modified to enhance drug loading and delivery capabilities. Also, miRNA delivery was combined with traditional therapies, for example chemotherapy, to treat osteosarcoma. Consequently, miRNA delivery offers promising therapeutic avenues for osteosarcoma, providing renewed hope for patients. This review emphasizes the studies utilizing nanoparticles for miRNA delivery in osteosarcoma treatment, then introduced and summarized the nanoparticles in detail. And it also discusses the prospects for clinical applications.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal sarcomas pose major challenges to researchers and clinicians due to their rarity and heterogeneity. Xenografting human cells or tumor fragments in rodents is a mainstay for the generation of cancer models and for the preclinical trial of novel drugs. Lately, though, technical, intrinsic and ethical concerns together with stricter regulations have significantly curbed the employment of murine patient-derived xenografts (mPDX). In alternatives to murine PDXs, researchers have focused on embryonal systems such as chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) and zebrafish embryos. These systems are time- and cost-effective hosts for tumor fragments and near-patient cells. The CAM of the chick embryo represents a unique vascularized environment to host xenografts with high engraftment rates, allowing for ease of visualization and molecular detection of metastatic cells. Thanks to the transparency of the larvae, zebrafish allow for the tracking of tumor development and metastatization, enabling high-throughput drug screening. This review will focus on xenograft models of musculoskeletal sarcomas to highlight the intrinsic and technically distinctive features of the different hosts, and how they can be exploited to elucidate biological mechanisms beneath the different phases of the tumor's natural history and in drug development. Ultimately, the review suggests the combination of different models as an advantageous approach to boost basic and translational research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most common primary malignant tumors of bone in children, which develops from osteoblasts and typically occurs during the rapid growth phase of the bone. Recently, Super-Enhancers(SEs)have been reported to play a crucial role in osteosarcoma growth and metastasis. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify specific targeted inhibitors of SEs to assist clinical therapy. This study aimed to elucidate the role of BRD4 inhibitor GNE-987 targeting SEs in OS and preliminarily explore its mechanism. METHODS We evaluated changes in osteosarcoma cells following treatment with a BRD4 inhibitor GNE-987. We assessed the anti-tumor effect of GNE-987 in vitro and in vivo by Western blot, CCK8, flow cytometry detection, clone formation, xenograft tumor size measurements, and Ki67 immunohistochemical staining, and combined ChIP-seq with RNA-seq techniques to find its anti-tumor mechanism. RESULTS In this study, we found that extremely low concentrations of GNE-987(2-10 nM) significantly reduced the proliferation and survival of OS cells by degrading BRD4. In addition, we found that GNE-987 markedly induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in OS cells. Further study indicated that VHL was critical for GNE-987 to exert its antitumor effect in OS cells. Consistent with in vitro results, GNE-987 administration significantly reduced tumor size in xenograft models with minimal toxicity, and partially degraded the BRD4 protein. KRT80 was identified through analysis of the RNA-seq and ChIP-seq data. U2OS HiC analysis suggested a higher frequency of chromatin interactions near the KRT80 binding site. The enrichment of H3K27ac modification at KRT80 was significantly reduced after GNE-987 treatment. KRT80 was identified as playing an important role in OS occurrence and development. CONCLUSIONS This research revealed that GNE-987 selectively degraded BRD4 and disrupted the transcriptional regulation of oncogenes in OS. GNE-987 has the potential to affect KRT80 against OS.

Abstract
The term chondroma refers to a slow-growing benign tumor. When the tumor arises from the medullary cavity, it is referred to as enchondroma, which is a very common bone tumor. However, if it arises from soft tissues, which is extremely rare, it is referred to as soft tissue chondroma or extraskeletal chondroma. Extraskeletal chondromas are uncommon; benign soft tissue tumors that mostly originate from hyaline cartilage are unrelated to the periosteum, tendon, or bone. The most common sites include fingers and toes. The frequent presentation is a slow-growing, firm, painless, and occasionally tender soft tissue mass. Morphologically, it exhibits lobular structures of hyaline cartilage, and hence it becomes difficult to differentiate it from low-grade chondrosarcoma, so the alarming sign of differentiation becomes a must. Recurrence is possible if it is incompletely removed. Complete removal with the capsule is a must to avoid recurrence. Immunohistochemistry remains the cornerstone for a definite diagnosis when S100 protein and vimentin show positivity for tumor cells and the proliferation index (Ki67%) is low. In this study, we present a very uncommon case of a 30-year-old patient with soft tissue chondromatosis of the palmer aspect of the index finger and palm.

Establishing a Collaborative Orthoplastic Approach for the Management of Primary Musculoskeletal Neoplasms: An 8-year Case Series. PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY-GLOBAL OPEN 2024; 12:e5971. [PMID: 38988480 PMCID: PMC11236390 DOI: 10.1097/gox.0000000000005971] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
Orthoplastic surgery is a multidisciplinary approach that is well-studied for extremity trauma, but not for musculoskeletal oncologic reconstruction. Here, the authors describe the application of a collaborative orthoplastic approach for the management of primary musculoskeletal neoplasms and evaluate its impact. The collaboration protocol, implemented in July 2019, comprises specific checkpoints of interdisciplinary co-management, which span the pre-, intra-, and postoperative treatment period. This involves direct communication between attending surgeons and their respective clinical teams. Patients who underwent resection of a primary musculoskeletal neoplasm between March 2014 and April 2022 were retrospectively categorized into conventional or collaboration groups. Of the 136 total patients, there were 63.2% (n = 86) conventional and 36.8% (n = 50) collaboration; 31.6% (n = 43) had reconstruction and 68.4% (n = 93) did not. Compared with the conventional group, the collaboration group had significantly higher rates of diabetes (18% versus 7%, P = 0.048) and radiation treatment (68% versus 43%, P = 0.005). The collaboration group was significantly more likely to have plastic surgery involvement in their care than the conventional group (38% versus 14%, P = 0.001), and to undergo reconstruction (42% versus 26%, P = 0.047). The groups showed no difference in rates of hematoma, seroma, delayed healing, infection, 30- or 90-day reoperation, or partial or complete flap/graft failure. The collaborative approach described here is feasible and associated with increased plastic surgery involvement and reconstructive surgery. Complications were equivalent despite evidence suggesting increased case complexity in the collaboration group. These early results are promising and could inspire wider adoption of structured orthoplastic protocols for care of these patients.

Abstract
Malignant bone tumors, including primary bone cancer and metastatic bone tumors, are a significant clinical challenge due to their high frequency of presentation, poor prognosis and lack of effective treatments and therapies. Bone tumors are often accompanied by skeletal complications such as bone destruction and cancer-induced bone pain. However, the mechanisms involved in bone cancer progression, bone metastasis and skeletal complications remain unclear. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), an intercellular lipid signaling molecule that exerts a wide range of biological effects mainly through specifically binding to LPA receptors (LPARs), has been found to be present at high levels in the ascites of bone tumor patients. Numerous studies have suggested that LPA plays a role in primary malignant bone tumors, bone metastasis, and skeletal complications. In this review, we summarize the role of LPA signaling in primary bone cancer, bone metastasis and skeletal complications. Modulating LPA signaling may represent a novel avenue for future therapeutic treatments for bone cancer, potentially improving patient prognosis and quality of life.

Abstract
Sarcomas are a diverse group of rare malignancies composed of multiple different clinical and molecular subtypes. Due to their rarity and heterogeneity, basic, translational, and clinical research in sarcoma has trailed behind that of other cancers. Outcomes for patients remain generally poor due to an incomplete understanding of disease biology and a lack of novel therapies. To address some of the limitations impeding preclinical sarcoma research, we have developed Sarcoma_CellMinerCDB, a publicly available interactive tool that merges publicly available sarcoma cell line data and newly generated omics data to create a comprehensive database of genomic, transcriptomic, methylomic, proteomic, metabolic, and pharmacologic data on 133 annotated sarcoma cell lines. The reproducibility, functionality, biological relevance, and therapeutic applications of Sarcoma_CellMinerCDB described herein are powerful tools to address and generate biological questions and test hypotheses for translational research. Sarcoma_CellMinerCDB (https://discover.nci.nih.gov/SarcomaCellMinerCDB) aims to contribute to advancing the preclinical study of sarcoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare cartilaginous tumor, accounting for < 1% of benign bone tumors. We report a case of temporomandibular joint (TMJ)-CMF, involving the pterygopalatine space and skull base and discuss its epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and management. CASE PRESENTATION A 56-year-old woman presented with facial asymmetry and progressive mouth opening restriction due to a mass expanding upwardly to the auriculotemporal region. Using digital techniques to determine the lesion's boundary and reconstruct the normal glenoid fossa, the temporalis myofascial flap was transplanted between the titanium mesh and condyle to reconstruct the disc after tumor resection. CONCLUSION This case highlights the importance of identifying patients with TMJ-CMF.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a prevalent malignancy among adolescents, commonly manifesting during childhood and adolescence. It exhibits a high degree of malignancy, propensity for metastasis, rapid progression, and poses challenges in clinical management. Chemotherapy represents an efficacious therapeutic modality for OS treatment. However, chemotherapy resistance of OS is a major problem in clinical treatment. In order to treat OS effectively, it is particularly important to explore the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance in OS.The Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a nuclear receptor primarily involved in the metabolism, transport, and elimination of xenobiotics, including chemotherapeutic agents. PXR involves three stages of drug metabolism: stage I: drug metabolism enzymes; stage II: drug binding enzyme; stage III: drug transporter.PXR has been confirmed to be involved in the process of chemotherapy resistance in malignant tumors. The expression of PXR is increased in OS, which may be related to drug resistance of OS. Therefore, wereviewed in detail the role of PXR in chemotherapy drug resistance in OS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic performance and inter-reader reliability of the Bone Reporting and Data System (Bone-RADS) for solitary bone lesions on CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective analysis included 179 patients (mean age, 56 ± 18 years; 94 men) who underwent bone biopsies between March 2005 and September 2021. Patients with solitary bone lesions on CT and sufficient histopathology results were included. Two radiologists categorized the bone lesions using the Bone-RADS (1, benign; 4, malignant). The diagnostic performance of the Bone-RADS was calculated using histopathology results as a standard reference. Inter-reader reliability was calculated. RESULTS Bone lesions were categorized into two groups: 103 lucent (pathology: 34 benign, 12 intermediate, 54 malignant, and 3 osteomyelitis) and 76 sclerotic/mixed (pathology: 46 benign, 2 intermediate, 26 malignant, and 2 osteomyelitis) lesions. The Bone-RADS for lucent lesions had sensitivities of 95% and 82%, specificities of 11% and 11%, and accuracies of 57% and 50% for readers 1 and 2, respectively. The Bone-RADS for sclerotic/mixed lesions had sensitivities of 75% and 68%, specificities of 27% and 27%, and accuracies of 45% and 42% for readers 1 and 2, respectively. Inter-reader reliability was moderate to very good (κ = 0.744, overall; 0.565, lucent lesions; and 0.851, sclerotic/mixed lesions). CONCLUSION Bone-RADS has a high sensitivity for evaluating malignancy in lucent bone lesions and good inter-reader reliability. However, it has poor specificity and accuracy for both lucent and sclerotic/mixed lesions. A possible explanation is that proposed algorithms heavily depend on clinical features such as pain and history of malignancy.

Abstract
Chondrosarcoma (ChS), a malignant cartilage-producing tumor, is the second most frequently diagnosed osseous sarcoma after osteosarcoma. It represents a very heterogeneous group of malignant chemo- and radiation-resistant neoplasms, accounting for approximately 20% of all bone sarcomas. The majority of ChS patients have a good prognosis after a complete surgical resection, as these tumors grow slowly and rarely metastasize. Conversely, patients with inoperable disease, due to the tumor location, size, or metastases, represent a great clinical challenge. Despite several genetic and epigenetic alterations that have been described in distinct ChS subtypes, very few therapeutic options are currently available for ChS patients. Therefore, new prognostic factors for tumor progression as well as new treatment options have to be explored, especially for patients with unresectable or metastatic disease. Recent studies have shown that a correlation between immune infiltrate composition, tumor aggressiveness, and survival does exist in ChS patients. In addition, the intra-tumor microvessel density has been proven to be associated with aggressive clinical behavior and a high metastatic potential in ChS. This review will provide an insight into the ChS microenvironment, since immunotherapy and antiangiogenic agents are emerging as interesting therapeutic options for ChS patients.

High expression of DEC2 distinguishes chondroblastic osteosarcoma and promotes tumour growth by activating the VEGFC/VEGFR2 signalling pathway. J Cell Mol Med 2024; 28:e18462. [PMID: 38847478 PMCID: PMC11157672 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.18462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumour in children and young adults. Account for 80% of all OS cases, conventional OS are characterized by the presence of osteoblastic, chondroblastic and fibroblastic cell types. Despite this heterogeneity, therapeutic treatment and prognosis of OS are essentially the same for all OS subtypes. Here, we report that DEC2, a transcriptional repressor, is expressed at higher levels in chondroblastic OS compared with osteoblastic OS. This difference suggests that DEC2 is disproportionately involved in the progression of chondroblastic OS, and thus, DEC2 may represent a possible molecular target for treating this type of OS. In the human chondroblastic-like OS cell line MNNG/HOS, we found that overexpression of DEC2 affects the proliferation of the cells by activating the VEGFC/VEGFR2 signalling pathway. Enhanced expression of DEC2 increased VEGFR2 expression, as well as increased the phosphorylation levels at sites Y951 and Y1175 of VEGFR2. On the one hand, activation of VEGFR2Y1175 enhanced cell proliferation through VEGFR2Y1175-PLCγ1-PKC-SPHK-MEK-ERK signalling. On the other hand, activation of VEGFR2Y951 decreased mitochondria-dependent apoptosis rate through VEGFR2Y951-VARP-PI3K-AKT signalling. Activation of these two signalling pathways resulted in enhanced progression of chondroblastic OS. In conclusion, DEC2 plays a pivotal role in cell proliferation and apoptosis-resistance in chondroblastic OS via the VEGFC/VEGFR2 signalling pathway. These findings lay the groundwork for developing focused treatments that target specific types of OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adolescent malignant-bone tumor patients' fear of cancer recurrence is a significant psychological issue, and exploring the influencing factors associated with fear of cancer recurrence in this population is important for developing effective interventions. This study is to investigate the current status and factors influencing fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) related to malignant bone-tumors in adolescent patients, providing evidence for future targeted mental health support and interventions. DESIGN A cross-sectional survey. METHODS In total, 269 adolescent malignant-bone tumor cases were treated at two hospitals in Zhejiang Province, China from January 2023 to December 2023. Patients completed a General Information Questionnaire, Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF), Family Hardiness Index (FHI), and a Simple Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ). Univariate and multivariable logistic regressions analysis were used to assess fear of cancer recurrence. RESULTS A total of 122 (45.4%) patients experienced FCR (FoP-Q-SF ≥ 34). Logistic regression analysis analyses showed that per capita-monthly family income, tumor stage, communication between the treating physician and the patient, patient's family relationships, family hardiness a positive coping score, and a negative coping score were the main factors influencing FCR in these patients (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS FCR in malignant-bone tumor adolescent patients is profound. Healthcare professionals should develop targeted interventional strategies based on the identified factors, which affect these patients; helping patients increase family hardiness, helping patients to positively adapt, and avoid negative coping styles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Musculoskeletal (MSK) tumors, given their high mortality rate and heterogeneity, necessitate precise examination and diagnosis to guide clinical treatment effectively. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is pivotal in detecting MSK tumors, as it offers exceptional image contrast between bone and soft tissue. This study aims to enhance the speed of detection and the diagnostic accuracy of MSK tumors through automated segmentation and grading utilizing MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS The research included 170 patients (mean age, 58 years ±12 (standard deviation), 84 men) with MSK lesions, who underwent MRI scans from April 2021 to May 2023. We proposed a deep learning (DL) segmentation model MSAPN based on multi-scale attention and pixel-level reconstruction, and compared it with existing algorithms. Using MSAPN-segmented lesions to extract their radiomic features for the benign and malignant classification of tumors. RESULTS Compared to the most advanced segmentation algorithms, MSAPN demonstrates better performance. The Dice similarity coefficients (DSC) are 0.871 and 0.815 in the testing set and independent validation set, respectively. The radiomics model for classifying benign and malignant lesions achieves an accuracy of 0.890. Moreover, there is no statistically significant difference between the radiomics model based on manual segmentation and MSAPN segmentation. CONCLUSION This research contributes to the advancement of MSK tumor diagnosis through automated segmentation and predictive classification. The integration of DL algorithms and radiomics shows promising results, and the visualization analysis of feature maps enhances clinical interpretability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a rare and diverse group of tumors. Curative options are limited to localized disease, with surgery being the mainstay. Advanced stages are associated with a poor prognosis. Currently, the prognosis of the patient is based on histological classification and clinical characteristics, with only a few biomarkers having entered clinical practice. AREAS COVERED This article covers extensive recent research that has established novel potential biomarkers based on genomics, proteomics, and clinical characteristics. Validating and incorporating these biomarkers into clinical practice can improve prognosis, prediction of recurrence, and treatment response. Relevant literature was collected from PubMed, Scopus, and clinicaltrials.gov databases (November 2023). EXPERT OPINION Currently, defining prognostic markers in soft tissue sarcomas remains challenging. More studies are required, especially to personalize treatment through advanced genetic profiling and analysis using individual tumor and patient characteristics.

Chondrosarcoma evaluation using hematein-based x-ray staining and high-resolution 3D micro-CT: a feasibility study. Eur Radiol Exp 2024; 8:58.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chondrosarcomas are rare malignant bone tumors diagnosed by analyzing radiological images and histology of tissue biopsies and evaluating features such as matrix calcification, cortical destruction, trabecular penetration, and tumor cell entrapment. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 16 cartilaginous tumor tissue samples from three patients (51-, 54-, and 70-year-old) diagnosed with a dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma at the femur, a moderately differentiated chondrosarcoma in the pelvis, and a predominantly moderately differentiated chondrosarcoma at the scapula, respectively. We combined a hematein-based x-ray staining with high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) microscopic x-ray computed tomography (micro-CT) for nondestructive 3D tumor assessment and tumor margin evaluation. RESULTS We detected trabecular entrapment on 3D micro-CT images and followed bone destruction throughout the volume. In addition to staining cell nuclei, hematein-based staining also improved the visualization of the tumor matrix, allowing for the distinction between the tumor and the bone marrow cavity. The hematein-based staining did not interfere with further conventional histology. There was a 5.97 ± 7.17% difference between the relative tumor area measured using micro-CT and histopathology (p = 0.806) (Pearson correlation coefficient r = 0.92, p = 0.009). Signal intensity in the tumor matrix (4.85 ± 2.94) was significantly higher in the stained samples compared to the unstained counterparts (1.92 ± 0.11, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Using nondestructive 3D micro-CT, the simultaneous visualization of radiological and histopathological features is feasible. RELEVANCE STATEMENT 3D micro-CT data supports modern radiological and histopathological investigations of human bone tumor specimens. It has the potential for being an integrative part of clinical preoperative diagnostics. KEY POINTS • Matrix calcifications are a relevant diagnostic feature of bone tumors. • Micro-CT detects all clinically diagnostic relevant features of x-ray-stained chondrosarcoma. • Micro-CT has the potential to be an integrative part of clinical diagnostics.

Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2024; 86:2507-2517.

Abstract
Background Surgical excision is considered one of the most effective treatments for secondary osteosarcoma (SO). It remains unclear whether the survival of patients with secondary osteosarcoma (SO) could be associated with their surgical willingness. Materials and methods The statistics of the patients diagnosed with SO between 1975 and 2008 were gathered from the surveillance epidemiology and end results (SEER) database. The patients were divided into three subgroups according to their surgical compliance. The authors used the multivariable Logistic regression analysis and cox regression method to reveal the influence of surgical compliance on prognosis and the risk factors of surgical compliance. Additionally, the authors formulated a nomogram model to predict the overall survival (OS) of patients. The concordance index (C-index) was used to evaluate the accuracy and practicability of the above prediction model. Results Sixty-three (9.2%) of the 688 patients with SO who were recommended for surgical treatment refused to undergo surgery. Lower surgical compliance can be ascribed to an earlier time of diagnosis and refusal of chemotherapy. The lower overall survival (OS) {[hazard ratio (HR)] 1.733, [CI] 1.205-2.494, P value [P]=0.003} of not surgical compliant patients was verified by the multivariate cox regression method, compared with surgical compliant patients. In addition, the discernibility of the nomogram model was proven to be relatively high (C-index=0.748), by which we can calibrate 3-year- and 5-year OS prediction plots to obtain good concordance to the actual situation. Conclusions Surgical compliance was proved to be an independent prognostic factor in the survival of patients with SO.

Reduced recurrence rate and comparable functionality after wide resection and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with allograft-prosthetic composite versus curettage for proximal humeral giant cell tumor: a multicenter retrospective study. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:1040-1049. [PMID: 37844829 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.09.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Giant cell tumors of bone (GCTBs) are rare, aggressive tumors, and the proximal humerus is a relatively rare location for GCTBs; limited evidence exists on which surgical approaches and reconstruction techniques are optimal. In the largest case series to date, we evaluated the recurrence rate of proximal humeral GCTBs and the functional outcomes of different resection and reconstruction options in this multicenter study. METHODS All 51 patients included in this study received initial surgical treatment for proximal humeral GCTBs from January 2007 to December 2020, with a minimum 2-year follow-up period. Local recurrence and functional outcomes were statistically analyzed in relation to demographic, clinical, and primary surgical variables. Functional outcomes were reported by patients and were assessed by the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score and QuickDASH instrument (shortened version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand instrument). RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 81.5 months (range, 30-191 months), and the overall recurrence rate was 17.6% (9 of 51 patients). The majority of recurrences (n = 7) occurred in the first 2 years of follow-up. The intralesional curettage group (n = 23) showed a statistically significant difference in the recurrence rate compared with the en bloc resection group (n = 28) (34.8% vs. 3.6%, P = .007). Among shoulders receiving en bloc resection, 16 were reconstructed with hemiarthroplasty; 8, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) with allograft-prosthetic composite (APC) reconstruction; and 4, arthrodesis. On the basis of intention-to-treat analysis, the mean functional Musculoskeletal Tumor Society scores of the groups undergoing curettage, rTSA with APC, hemiarthroplasty, and arthrodesis were 26.0 ± 3.1, 26.0 ± 1.7, 20.3 ± 2.8, and 22.5 ± 1.3, respectively (P < .001 [with P < .001 for curettage vs. hemiarthroplasty and P = .004 for rTSA with APC vs. hemiarthroplasty]) and the mean QuickDASH scores were 14.0 ± 11.0, 11.6 ± 4.5, 33.1 ± 11.8, and 21.6 ± 4.7, respectively (P < .001 [with P < .001 for curettage vs. hemiarthroplasty and P = .003 for rTSA with APC vs. hemiarthroplasty]). CONCLUSIONS On the basis of our data, en bloc resection followed by reverse shoulder arthroplasty showed a lower recurrence rate and no significant difference in functional outcome scores for proximal humeral GCTBs compared with intralesional curettage. Therefore, we believe that rTSA with APC may be reasonable for the initial treatment of proximal humeral GCTBs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Desmoplastic fibroma is an extremely rare primary bone tumor. Its characteristic features include bone destruction accompanied by the formation of soft tissue masses. This condition predominantly affects individuals under the age of 30. Since its histology is similar to desmoid-type fibromatosis, an accurate diagnosis before operation is difficult. Desmoplastic fibroma is resistant to chemotherapy, and the efficacy of radiotherapy is uncertain. Surgical excision is preferred for treatment, but it entails high recurrence. Further, skeletal reconstruction post-surgery is challenging, especially in pediatric cases. CASE PRESENTATION Nine years ago, a 14-year-old male patient presented with a 4-year history of progressive pain in his left wrist. Initially diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia by needle biopsy, the patient underwent tumor resection followed by free vascularized fibular proximal epiphyseal transfer for wrist reconstruction. However, a histological examination confirmed a diagnosis of desmoplastic fibroma. The patient achieved bone union and experienced a recurrence in the ipsilateral ulna 5 years later, accompanied by a wrist deformity. He underwent a second tumor resection and wrist arthrodesis in a single stage. The most recent annual follow-up was in September 2023; the patient had no recurrence and was satisfied with the surgery. CONCLUSIONS Desmoplastic fibroma is difficult to diagnose and treat, and reconstruction surgery after tumor resection is challenging. Close follow-up by experienced surgeons may be beneficial for prognosis.

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Pro-angiogenic Macrophage Profiles Reveal Novel Prognostic Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets for Osteosarcoma. Biochem Genet 2024; 62:1325-1346.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant bone tumor that most commonly occurs in children and adolescents. OS patients have a poor prognosis, and 5-year survival rates have rarely improved significantly over the past few decades. OS prognosis may be related to the infiltration of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). However, the role of proangiogenic macrophages, a subtype of TAMs, in OS prognosis has not been reported. In this study, seven subtypes of TAMs were identified from single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data that we propose defining as proangiogenic TAMs (Angio-TAMs), interferon-primed TAMs (IFN-TAMs), inflammatory cytokine-enriched TAMs (Inflam-TAMs), immune regulatory TAMs (Reg-TAMs), lipid-associated TAMs (LA-TAMs), and resident-tissue macrophages like TAMs (RTM-TAMs) (containing two subcellular types). In the survival analysis of each macrophage subtype, it was found that patients with Angio-TAMs had the most significant difference in survival. Eight genes associated with Angio-TAMs were obtained by differential expression analysis, and these genes were built into a prognostic model using the LASSO algorithm. Clinical OS case samples were categorized into high-risk and low-risk subgroups using median risk scores. In comparison to the low-risk subgroup, the survival time of the high-risk subgroup was much shorter. Additional studies on immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoint molecule expression in the two risk subgroups were carried out. In immunotherapy response prediction, the Angio-TAM-associated gene risk signature was found to be negatively correlated with immune checkpoint responses. In addition, the associated enriched GO (Gene Ontology) and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathways were mainly involved in the malignant progression of tumors. As suggested by these findings, the Angio-TAM gene risk signature may be an underlying prognostic biomarker and novel therapeutic target for OS patients.Kindly check and confirm whether the ESM file is correctly identifiedWe have checked this file and confirmed that it can be correctly identified.

Incidence of skeletal-related events in patients with Ewing sarcoma: An observational retrospective study in Japan. Cancer Med 2024; 13:e7060. [PMID: 38466026 PMCID: PMC10926881 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.7060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Skeletal-related events (SREs), including the pathological fracture, surgical treatment or radiation of bone lesions, malignant spinal cord compression, hypercalcemia, are important considerations when managing metastatic bone tumors; however, owing to their rarity, the incidence of SREs in patients with Ewing sarcoma remains unknown. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data from 146 patients with Ewing sarcoma treated at a single institution from 2005 to 2019. The median age at diagnosis was 22.7 years. Fifty patients (34.2%) had metastatic disease at diagnosis. The primary outcome was the SRE-free rate among patients with Ewing sarcoma. Moreover, we identified the risk factors for SREs using univariate or multivariate analyses. RESULTS During the observational period (median, 2.6 years), SREs occurred in 23 patients. Radiation to the bone, malignant spinal cord compression, and hypercalcemia were documented as the initial SREs in 12 patients (52.2%), 10 patients (43.5%), and one patient (4.3%), respectively. The SRE-free rate was 94.2 ± 2.0, 87.3 ± 3.0, and 79.6 ± 3.8% at 1, 2, and 3 years after the initial visit, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed bone metastasis at diagnosis (hazard ratio [HR] = 4.41, p = 0.007), bone marrow invasion (HR = 34.08, p < 0.001), and local progression or recurrence after definitive treatment (HR = 3.98, p = 0.012) as independent risk factors for SREs. CONCLUSIONS SREs are non-rare events that can occur during the treatment course for Ewing sarcoma, with an especially high incidence of malignant spinal cord compression. Patients with metastatic disease at diagnosis, especially in the bone or bone marrow, or with local progression or recurrence after definitive treatment, should be carefully monitored for the occurrence of SREs. The most effective methods to monitor the occurrence of SREs and new preventative therapies for SREs should be investigated in the future.

Endosteal stem cells at the bone-blood interface: A double-edged sword for rapid bone formation: Bone marrow endosteal stem cells provide a robust source of bone-making osteoblasts both in normal and abnormal bone formation. Bioessays 2024; 46:e2300173. [PMID: 38161246 DOI: 10.1002/bies.202300173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Endosteal stem cells are a subclass of bone marrow skeletal stem cell populations that are particularly important for rapid bone formation occurring in growth and regeneration. These stem cells are strategically located near the bone surface in a specialized microenvironment of the endosteal niche. These stem cells are abundant in young stages but eventually depleted and replaced by other stem cell types residing in a non-endosteal perisinusoidal niche. Single-cell molecular profiling and in vivo cell lineage analyses play key roles in discovering endosteal stem cells. Importantly, endosteal stem cells can transform into bone tumor-making cells when deleterious mutations occur in tumor suppressor genes. The emerging hypothesis is that osteoblast-chondrocyte transitional identities confer a special subset of endosteal stromal cells with stem cell-like properties, which may make them susceptible for tumorigenic transformation. Endosteal stem cells are likely to represent an important therapeutic target of bone diseases caused by aberrant bone formation.

[PMID: 38473238 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16050878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: RT-induced hyalinization/fibrosis was recently evidenced as a significant independent predictor for complete response to neoadjuvant radiotherapy (RT) and survival in patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Purpose: Non-invasive predictive markers of histologic response after neoadjuvant RT of STS are expected. Materials and Methods: From May 2010 to April 2017, patients with a diagnosis of STS who underwent neoadjuvant RT for limb STS were retrieved from a single center prospective clinical imaging database. Tumor Apparent Diffusion Coefficients (ADC) and areas under the time-intensity perfusion curve (AUC) were compared with the histologic necrosis ratio, fibrosis, and cellularity in post-surgical specimens. Results: We retrieved 29 patients. The median ADC value was 134.3 × 10-3 mm2/s. ADC values positively correlated with the post-treatment tumor necrosis ratio (p = 0.013). Median ADC values were lower in patients with less than 50% necrosis and higher in those with more than 50% (120.3 × 10-3 mm2/s and 202.0 × 10-3 mm2/s, respectively (p = 0.020). ADC values higher than 161 × 10-3 mm2/s presented a 95% sensitivity and a 55% specificity for the identification of tumors with more than 50% tumor necrosis ratio. Tumor-to-muscle AUC ratios were associated with histologic fibrosis (p = 0.036). Conclusions: ADC and perfusion AUC correlated, respectively, with radiation-induced tumor necrosis and fibrosis.

Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:1467-1484. [PMID: 38392213 PMCID: PMC10887834 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46020095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The orbital manifestation of a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is exceptionally rare and poses specific challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Its rather exceptional behavior among all SFTs comprises a high tendency towards local recurrence, but it rarely culminates in metastatic disease. This raises the question of prognostic factors in orbital SFTs (oSFTs). Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT)-promoter mutations have previously been linked to an unfavorable prognosis in SFTs of other locations. We analyzed the prevalence of TERT promoter mutations of SFTs in the orbital compartment. We performed a retrospective, descriptive clinico-histopathological analysis of nine cases of oSFTs between the years of 2017 and 2021. A TERT promoter mutation was present in one case, which was classified with intermediate metastatic risk. Local recurrence or progress occurred in six cases after primary resection; no distant metastases were reported. Multimodal imaging repeatedly showed particular morphologic patterns, including tubular vascular structures and ADC reduction. The prevalence of the TERT promoter mutation in oSFT was 11%, which is similar to the prevalence of extra-meningeal SFTs of the head and neck and lower than that in other extra-meningeal compartments. In the present study, the TERT promoter mutation in oSFT manifested in a case with an unfavorable prognosis, comprising aggressive local tumor growth, local recurrence, and eye loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A thorough bibliometric analysis of publications published in the field of chondrosarcoma research has not yet been performed using the Web of Science database, especially for publications published between 1993 and 2023. This study, with a focus on the fields of orthopedics, surgery, and oncology, aims to fill this knowledge gap by providing a thorough analysis of current knowledge in the field of chondrosarcoma. METHODS In this bibliometric study, a literature search was performed using the Web of Science database to find all publications on chondrosarcoma. A bibliometric software program was used for data visualization and analysis (opensource visualization application, Vosviewer). The Web of Science Core Collection data used for this retrospective bibliometric study, which covers the period from January 1993 to September 2023, revealed interesting trends in chondrosarcoma research. RESULTS As the most popular fields of study, orthopedics, surgery, and oncology account for a sizable portion of publications. A noteworthy increase in research output from 2014 to 2023, accounting for 41.74% of the papers, reflects the thriving research environment. The leading countries for publication were China, Japan, and the United States, demonstrating cross-border cooperation in chondrosarcoma research. Their contributions were highlighted by their important affiliations with institutions such as Harvard University, Leiden University, and China Medical University Taiwan. A thorough keyword mapping analysis also highlighted research priorities and encouraged interdisciplinary cooperation. The field's scholarly importance and ongoing relevance are highlighted by the study's high citation count (30,076) and highly cited articles. CONCLUSION Overall, this study offers crucial insights into the development and collaborative nature of the chondrosarcoma research landscape and its long-lasting influence on academic research and clinical practice.

Deep learning for differentiation of osteolytic osteosarcoma and giant cell tumor around the knee joint on radiographs: a multicenter study. Insights Imaging 2024; 15:35. [PMID: 38321327 PMCID: PMC10847082 DOI: 10.1186/s13244-024-01610-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a deep learning (DL) model for differentiating between osteolytic osteosarcoma (OS) and giant cell tumor (GCT) on radiographs. METHODS Patients with osteolytic OS and GCT proven by postoperative pathology were retrospectively recruited from four centers (center A, training and internal testing; centers B, C, and D, external testing). Sixteen radiologists with different experiences in musculoskeletal imaging diagnosis were divided into three groups and participated with or without the DL model's assistance. DL model was generated using EfficientNet-B6 architecture, and the clinical model was trained using clinical variables. The performance of various models was compared using McNemar's test. RESULTS Three hundred thirty-three patients were included (mean age, 27 years ± 12 [SD]; 186 men). Compared to the clinical model, the DL model achieved a higher area under the curve (AUC) in both the internal (0.97 vs. 0.77, p = 0.008) and external test set (0.97 vs. 0.64, p < 0.001). In the total test set (including the internal and external test sets), the DL model achieved higher accuracy than the junior expert committee (93.1% vs. 72.4%; p < 0.001) and was comparable to the intermediate and senior expert committee (93.1% vs. 88.8%, p = 0.25; 87.1%, p = 0.35). With DL model assistance, the accuracy of the junior expert committee was improved from 72.4% to 91.4% (p = 0.051). CONCLUSION The DL model accurately distinguished osteolytic OS and GCT with better performance than the junior radiologists, whose own diagnostic performances were significantly improved with the aid of the model, indicating the potential for the differential diagnosis of the two bone tumors on radiographs. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The deep learning model can accurately distinguish osteolytic osteosarcoma and giant cell tumor on radiographs, which may help radiologists improve the diagnostic accuracy of two types of tumors. KEY POINTS • The DL model shows robust performance in distinguishing osteolytic osteosarcoma and giant cell tumor. • The diagnosis performance of the DL model is better than junior radiologists'. • The DL model shows potential for differentiating osteolytic osteosarcoma and giant cell tumor.

Tracked ultrasound registration for intraoperative navigation during pediatric bone tumor resections with soft tissue components: a porcine cadaver study. Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg 2024; 19:297-302. [PMID: 37924438 PMCID: PMC10838821 DOI: 10.1007/s11548-023-03021-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Resection of pediatric osteosarcoma in the extremities with soft tissue involvement presents surgical challenges due to difficult visualization and palpation of the tumor. Therefore, an adequate image-guided surgery (IGS) system is required for more accurate tumor resection. The use of a 3D model in combination with intraoperative tracked ultrasound (iUS) may enhance surgical decision making. This study evaluates the clinical feasibility of iUS as a surgical tool using a porcine cadaver model. METHODS First, a 3D model of the porcine lower limb was created based on preoperative scans. Second, the bone surface of the tibia was automatically detected with an iUS by a sweep on the skin. The bone surface of the preoperative 3D model was then matched with the bone surface detected by the iUS. Ten artificial targets were used to calculate the target registration error (TRE). Intraoperative performance of iUS IGS was evaluated by six pediatric surgeons and two pediatric oncologic orthopedists. Finally, user experience was assessed with a post-procedural questionnaire. RESULTS Eight registration procedures were performed with a mean TRE of 6.78 ± 1.33 mm. The surgeons agreed about the willingness for clinical implementation in their current clinical practice. They mentioned the additional clinical value of iUS in combination with the 3D model for the localization of the soft tissue components of the tumor. The concept of the proposed IGS system is considered feasible by the clinical panel, but the large TRE and degree of automation need to be addressed in further work. CONCLUSION The participating pediatric surgeons and orthopedists were convinced of the clinical value of the interaction between the iUS and the 3D model. Further research is required to improve the surgical accuracy and degree of automation of iUS-based registration systems for the surgical management of pediatric osteosarcoma.

Diagnostics of IDH1/2 Mutations in Intracranial Chondroid Tumors: Comparison of Molecular Genetic Methods and Immunohistochemistry. Diagnostics (Basel) 2024; 14:200. [PMID: 38248076 PMCID: PMC10814347 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics14020200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Intracranial chondroid tumors are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms characterized by the presence of a cartilage matrix. These tumors exhibit overlapping clinical and histological features. Mutations in IDH1/2 genes serve as important diagnostic markers of tumor type, particularly chondrosarcoma. To improve the accuracy of IDH1/2 diagnostics, we compared three methods: biochip assay, real-time PCR with DNA melting analysis using TaqMan probes and sequencing (qPCR-DMA-Sanger), and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Tumor samples from 96 patients were investigated. The IDH1 mutations were detected in 34/64 (53%) chondrosarcomas; IHC detected 27/56 (48.2%) mutations, the qPCR-DMA-Sanger method 27/59 (46%) mutations, and the biochip assay revealed 29/60 (48.3%) mutations. The detection of IDH1 mutations in chordoma (2/15) and osteosarcoma (2/7) suggested the need for a revised diagnosis. In benign tumors, IDH1 mutations were present in chondroma (4/6), but absent in chondromyxoid fibroma (0/4). The most frequent IDH1 mutations were R132C (60%), R132L, and R132G (13.5% each), R132H (8%), and R132S (5%). The concordance between the biochip assay and IHC was 90%, between IHC and PCR-DMA-Sanger 83%, and between biochip assay and qPCR-DMA-Sanger was 98%, respectively. No IDH2 mutations were found. The use of independent diagnostic methods may improve the detection of IDH-mutant specimens in chondroid tumors.

Abstract
Malignant bone tumors are a group of rare malignant tumors and our study aimed to update the recent epidemiologic estimates based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database. Patients diagnosed with malignant bone tumors from 2000 to 2019 were included and their characteristics were retrospectively described. The limited-duration prevalence, annual age-adjusted incidence and mortality were calculated, and the annual percentage changes were analyzed to quantify the rate change. Finally, observed survival and relative survival rate were illustrated. Subgroup analysis across tumor type, age, gender, tumor Grade, primary tumor site and stage was also performed. As for results, a total of 11 655 eligible patients with malignant bone tumor were selected. Osteosarcoma was the most common tumor type, followed by chondrosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and chordoma. The estimated limited-duration prevalence of malignant bone tumors increased from 2000 (0.00069%) to 2018 (0.00749%). Steady age-adjusted incidence was observed in all patients during the study period while the highest rate occurred in osteosarcoma. Mortality rates differed in subgroups while elder patients (older than 64 years) presented the highest mortality rate compared to other age groups. In all bone tumors, the 10-year observed survival and relative survival rates were 58.0% and 61.9%, respectively. Chondrosarcoma patients had the best survival outcome, followed by osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, chordoma and other bone tumors. In conclusion, different epidemiologic performance in incidence and mortality was observed across tumor type as well as other demographic and clinicopathological variables, which provide potential suggestion for further adjustment of medical resource.

Abstract
Cartilaginous tumours are a large and heterogeneous group of neoplasms characterised by the presence of a chondroid matrix, with lobular growth and arcuate, ring-like or popcorn-like calcification patterns. MRI shows hyperintensity in T2-weighted sequences and a lobulated or septal relief in postcontrast images. In the WHO 2020 classification, chondral tumours are classified as benign, intermediate or malignant. Despite technological advances, they continue to pose a challenge for both the radiologist and the pathologist, being the main difficulty the differentiation between benign and malignant tumours, which is why they require a multidisciplinary approach. This paper describes the main changes introduced in the 2020 update, describes the imaging characteristics of the main cartilaginous tumours and provides the radiological keys to differentiate between benign and malignant tumours.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment is a dynamic network of stromal, cancer, and immune cells that interact and compete for resources. We have previously identified the Vanin1 pathway as a tumor suppressor of sarcoma development via vitamin B5 and coenzyme A regeneration. Using an aggressive sarcoma cell line that lacks Vnn1 expression, we showed that the administration of pantethine, a vitamin B5 precursor, attenuates tumor growth in immunocompetent but not nude mice. Pantethine boosts antitumor immunity, including the polarization of myeloid and dendritic cells towards enhanced IFNγ-driven antigen presentation pathways and improved the development of hypermetabolic effector CD8+ T cells endowed with potential antitumor activity. At later stages of treatment, the effect of pantethine was limited by the development of immune cell exhaustion. Nevertheless, its activity was comparable with that of anti-PD1 treatment in sensitive tumors. In humans, VNN1 expression correlates with improved survival and immune cell infiltration in soft-tissue sarcomas, but not in osteosarcomas. Pantethine could be a potential therapeutic immunoadjuvant for the development of antitumor immunity.

Abstract
The expression pattern, diagnostic value, and association of PD-L1, IFN-γ and TGF-β with bone tumor type, severity, and relapse are determined in this study. 300 human samples from patients with osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and GCT were enrolled. The PD-L1 gene and protein expression were assessed by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. ELISA and flow cytometry was used to detect cytokines and CD4/CD8 T cell percentages, respectively. A considerable increase in PD-L1 level was detected in bone tumor tissues at both gene and protein levels that was considerable in osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. A positive correlation was detected regarding the PD-L1 and tumor metastasis and recurrence in osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. The increased IFN-γ level was detected in patients with metastatic, and recurrent osteosarcoma tumors that were in accordance with the level of TGF-β in these samples. The simultaneous elevation of IFN-γ and TGF-β was detected in Ewing sarcoma and GCT, also the CD4 + /CD8 + ratio was decreased significantly in patients with osteosarcoma compared to GCT tumors. The elevated levels of PD-L1, TGF- β, and IFN-γ were associated with bone tumor severity that can provide insights into the possible role of this axis in promoting immune system escape, suppression, and tumor invasion.

Abstract
Sarcomas are heterogeneous bone and soft tissue cancers representing the second most common tumor type in children and adolescents. Histology and genetic profiling discovered more than 100 subtypes, which are characterized by peculiar molecular vulnerabilities. However, limited therapeutic options exist beyond standard therapy and clinical benefits from targeted therapies were observed only in a minority of patients with sarcomas. The rarity of these tumors, paucity of actionable mutations, and limitations in the chemical composition of current targeted therapies hindered the use of these approaches in sarcomas. Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is an innovative pharmacological modality to directly alter protein abundance with promising clinical potential in cancer, even for undruggable proteins. TPD is based on the use of small molecules called degraders or proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), which trigger ubiquitin-dependent degradation of protein of interest. In this review, we will discuss major features of PROTAC and PROTAC-derived genetic systems for target validation and cancer treatment and focus on the potential of these approaches to overcome major issues connected to targeted therapies in sarcomas, including drug resistance, target specificity, and undruggable targets. A deeper understanding of these strategies might provide new fuel to drive molecular and personalized medicine to sarcomas.
