Abstract
Bone tumor has become a common disease that endangers human health. Surgical resection of bone tumors not only causes biomechanical defects of bone but also destroys the continuity and integrity of bone and cannot completely remove the local tumor cells. The remaining tumor cells in the lesion bring a hidden danger of local recurrence. To improve the chemotherapeutic effect and effectively clear tumor cells, traditional systemic chemotherapy often requires higher doses, and high doses of chemotherapeutic drugs inevitably cause a series of systemic toxic side effects, often intolerable to patients. PLGA-based drug delivery systems, such as nano delivery systems and scaffold-based local delivery systems, can help eliminate tumors and promote bone regeneration and therefore have more significant potential for application in bone tumor treatment. In this review, we summarize the research progress of PLGA nano drug delivery systems and PLGA scaffold-based local delivery systems in bone tumor treatment applications, expecting to provide a theoretical basis for developing novel bone tumor treatment strategies.

Sun SY, Crago A. MDM2 Implications for Potential Molecular Pathogenic Therapies of Soft-Tissue Tumors. J Clin Med 2023; 12:3638. [PMID: 37297833 PMCID: PMC10253559 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12113638] [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: 03/26/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Murine double minute 2 (MDM2, gene name MDM2) is an oncogene that mainly codes for a protein that acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase, which targets the tumor suppressor protein p53 for degradation. Overexpression of MDM2 regulates the p53 protein levels by binding to it and promoting its degradation by the 26S proteasome. This leads to the inhibition of p53's ability to regulate cell cycle progression and apoptosis, allowing for uncontrolled cell growth, and can contribute to the development of soft-tissue tumors. The application of cellular stress leads to changes in the binding of MDM2 to p53, which prevents MDM2 from degrading p53. This results in an increase in p53 levels, which triggers either cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. Inhibiting the function of MDM2 has been identified as a potential therapeutic strategy for treating these types of tumors. By blocking the activity of MDM2, p53 function can be restored, potentially leading to tumor cell death and inhibiting the growth of tumors. However, further research is needed to fully understand the implications of MDM2 inhibition for the treatment of soft-tissue tumors and to determine the safety and efficacy of these therapies in clinical trials. An overview of key milestones and potential uses of MDM2 research is presented in this review.

Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in the pediatric and adolescent population, with 350 new cases diagnosed each year. While they can develop anywhere in the body, the genitourinary tract is the second most common primary location for an RMS to develop. Overall survival has improved through the increased use of protocols and multidisciplinary approaches. However, the guidelines for management continue to change as systemic and radiation therapeutics advance. Given the relative rarity of this disease compared to other non-solid childhood malignancies, healthcare providers not directly managing RMS may not be familiar with their presentation and updated management. This review aims to provide foundational knowledge of the management of RMSs with an emphasis on specific management paradigms for those arising from the genitourinary tract. The genitourinary tract is the second most common location for an RMS to develop but varies greatly in symptomology and survival depending on the organ of origin. As the clinical understanding of these tumors advances, treatment paradigms have evolved. Herein, we describe the breadth of presentations for genitourinary RMSs with diagnostic and treatment management considerations, incorporating the most recently available guidelines and societal consensus recommendations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Synovial sarcomas are rare tumors, and the incidence of axillary synovial sarcoma involving the brachial plexus has been reported as 2.9 % among all axillary soft tissue tumors. However, the recurrence of axillary synovial sarcomas has not been reported in literature. CASE PRESENTATION A 36-years-old Afghan female presented in Karachi, Pakistan with a history of persistently increasing, recurrent, right axillary mass for 6 months. Initially diagnosed as a spindle-cell tumor on excision in Afghanistan, she had received ifosfamide and doxorubicin, but the lesion recurred. On examination, it was a 5 × 6 cm, hard mass palpable in right axilla. After radiological work-up and a multidisciplinary team discussion, she underwent complete excision of the tumor with successful preservation of brachial plexus. The final diagnosis was reported as monophasic synovial sarcoma FNCLCC Grade 3. DISCUSSION Our patient presented with a recurrent right axillary synovial sarcoma that was involving the axillary neurovascular bundle and brachial plexus, which was initially diagnosed as a spindle cell sarcoma. Pre-operative core-needle biopsy was unable to provide a definitive diagnosis. MRI scan was useful in delineating the proximity of the neurovascular structures. Re-excision of the tumor was performed which is the mainstay of treatment for axillary synovial sarcomas, combined with radiotherapy depending on the disease grading, staging and patient factors. CONCLUSION Axillary synovial sarcoma recurrence with involvement of the brachial plexus is an extremely rare presentation. Our patient was successfully managed through a multidisciplinary approach with complete surgical excision and preservation of the brachial plexus followed by adjuvant radiotherapy.

Abstract
Bone contributes to the maintenance of vital biological activities. At the cellular level, multiple types of skeletal cells, including skeletal stem and progenitor cells (SSPCs), osteoblasts, chondrocytes, marrow stromal cells, and adipocytes, orchestrate skeletal events such as development, aging, regeneration, and tumorigenesis. Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary malignant tumor and the main form of bone cancer. Although it has been proposed that the cellular origins of OS are in osteogenesis-related skeletal lineage cells with cancer suppressor gene mutations, its origins have not yet been fully elucidated because of a poor understanding of whole skeletal cell diversity and dynamics. Over the past decade, the advent and development of single-cell RNA sequencing analyses and mouse lineage-tracing approaches have revealed the diversity of skeletal stem and its lineage cells. Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) in the bone marrow endoskeletal region have now been found to efficiently generate OS and to be robust cells of origin under p53 deletion conditions. The identification of SSCs may lead to a more limited redefinition of bone marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (BM-MSCs), and this population has been thought to contain cells from which OS originates. In this mini-review, we discuss the cellular diversity and dynamics of multiple skeletal cell types and the origin of OS in the native in vivo environment in mice. We also discuss future challenges in the study of skeletal cells and OS.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant bone tumor derived from mesenchymal cells that contains self-renewing cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are responsible for tumor progression and chemotherapy resistance. Understanding the signaling pathways that regulate CSC self-renewal and survival is crucial for developing effective therapies. The Notch, Hedgehog, and Wnt/β-Catenin developmental pathways, which are essential for self-renewal and differentiation of normal stem cells, have been identified as important regulators of osteosarcoma CSCs and also in the resistance to anticancer therapies. Targeting these pathways and their interactions with embryonic markers and the tumor microenvironment may be a promising therapeutic strategy to overcome chemoresistance and improve the prognosis for osteosarcoma patients. This review focuses on the role of Notch, Hedgehog, and Wnt/β-Catenin signaling in regulating CSC self-renewal, pluripotency, and chemoresistance, and their potential as targets for anti-cancer therapies. We also discuss the relevance of embryonic markers, including SOX-2, Oct-4, NANOG, and KLF4, in osteosarcoma CSCs and their association with the aforementioned signaling pathways in overcoming drug resistance.

Abstract
Bone sarcomas are rare heterogeneous tumors that affect patients of all ages including children, adolescent young adults, and older adults. They include many aggressive subtypes and patient groups with poor outcomes, poor access to clinical trials, and lack of defined standard therapeutic strategies. Conventional chondrosarcoma remains a surgical disease, with no defined role for cytotoxic therapy and no approved targeted systemic therapies. Here, we discuss promising novel targets and strategies undergoing evaluation in clinical trials. Multiagent chemotherapy has greatly improved outcomes for patients with Ewing sarcoma (ES) and osteosarcoma, but management of those with high-risk or recurrent disease remains challenging and controversial. We describe the impact of international collaborative trials, such as the rEECur study, that aim to define optimal treatment strategies for those with recurrent, refractory ES, and evidence for high-dose chemotherapy with stem-cell support. We also discuss current and emerging strategies for other small round cell sarcomas, such as CIC-rearranged, BCOR-rearranged tumors, and the evaluation of emerging novel therapeutics and trial designs that may offer a new paradigm to improve survival in these aggressive tumors with notoriously bad (to the bone) outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study presents a new case of solitary osteochondroma (SOC) identified on the proximal tibia of a 4th-century BCE individual from Pontecagnano (Salerno, Italy) with an aim to contribute to differential diagnosis of bone tumors in archeological contexts. MATERIALS Paleopathological assessment of a male individual with an estimated age-at death of 45.9-62.9 years brought to light during the archaeological excavations in the funerary sector of 'Sica de Concillis' within the necropolis of Pontecagnano. METHODS Macroscopic and radiographic analyses were performed for diagnostic purposes. RESULTS The proximal portion of the right tibia exhibited a large exophytic bone formation extending from the anteromedial to the posteromedial portion of the diaphysis. The x-ray confirmed the lesion being characterized by regular trabecular bone tissue with cortico-medullary continuity. CONCLUSIONS The lesion observed is diagnostic of sessile SOC, a neoplasm that must have had aesthetic and, possibly, neurovascular complications due to its large size. SIGNIFICANCE By offering a detailed description of a case of tibial osteochondroma and discussing the possible complications the individual might have experienced during life, this study highlights the role and importance of benign bone tumors in paleo-oncology. LIMITATIONS Histological analysis was not carried out in order to preserve the integrity of the affected tibia. SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH More attention should be devoted to benign tumors in paleopathology as their occurrence and manifestations in the past will lead to a better understanding of their impacts on the quality of life of affected individuals and to greater knowledge of their natural history.

Abstract
There are numerous bone tumors in the pediatric population, with imaging playing an essential role in diagnosis and management. Our understanding of certain bone tumors has rapidly evolved over the past decade with advancements in next-generation genetic sequencing techniques. This increased level of understanding has altered the nomenclature, management approach, and prognosis of certain lesions. We provide a detailed update of bone tumors that occur in the pediatric population with emphasis on the recently released nomenclature provided in the 5th edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Soft Tissue and Bone Tumours.

Abstract
Chordomas are rare tumors of the axial skeleton that are refractory to conventional therapy. Few studies have compared the morphological and molecular characteristics of chordomas according to the skull base and sacral locations. Histopathological data and changes revealed by array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) of cell cycle regulation genes were analyzed for 28 skull base (SBCs) and 15 sacral (SC) chordomas. All cases were conventional chordomas. SBCs were significantly more frequent in patients aged <40 years and SCs predominated in patients aged >60 years. Mitotic indices ≥2 mitoses/10 high-power fields were correlated with high degrees of nuclear atypia and Ki67 labeling indices ≥6%. We identified 321 genomic positions, and copy number variation losses were more frequent than gain. Moreover, we report a panel of 85 genetic variants of cell cycle genes and the presence of molecular clusters for chordoma as well in CGH as in NGS. These new data strengthen the view that the chordoma should not be considered as a single molecular entity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bone anabolic agents can benefit orthopaedic patients perioperatively and improve outcomes after fragility fractures. However, preliminary animal data raised concern for the potential development of primary bony malignancies after treatment with these medications. METHODS This investigation examined 44,728 patients older than 50 years who were prescribed teriparatide or abaloparatide and compared them with a matched control group to evaluate risk of primary bone cancer development. Patients younger than 50 years with a history of cancer or other risk factors of bony malignancy were excluded. A separate cohort of 1,241 patients prescribed an anabolic agent with risk factors of primary bone malignancy, along with 6,199 matched control subjects, was created to evaluate the effect of anabolic agents. Cumulative incidence and incidence rate per 100,000 person-years were calculated as were risk ratios and incidence rate ratios. RESULTS The overall risk of primary bone malignancy development for risk factor-excluded patients in the anabolic agent-exposed group was 0.02%, compared with 0.05% in the nonexposed group. The incidence rate per 100,000 person-years was calculated at 3.61 for the anabolic-exposed patients and 6.46 for control subjects. A risk ratio of 0.47 (P = 0.03) and incidence rate ratio of 0.56 (P = 0.052) were observed for the development of primary bone malignancies in patients undergoing treatment with bone anabolic agents. Among high-risk patients, 5.96% of the anabolic-exposed cohort developed primary bone malignancies and 8.13% of nonexposed patients developed primary bone malignancy. The risk ratio was 0.73 (P = 0.01), and the incidence rate ratio was 0.95 (P = 0.67). CONCLUSION Teriparatide and abaloparatide can safely be used for osteoporosis and orthopaedic perioperative management without increased risk of development of primary bone malignancy.

[PMID: 36980590 PMCID: PMC10046282 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15061703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Chondrosarcomas can be classified into various forms according to the presence or absence of a precursor lesion, location, and histological subtype. The new 2020 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors of Soft Tissue and Bone classifies chondrogenic bone tumors as benign, intermediate (locally aggressive), or malignant, and separates atypical cartilaginous tumors (ACTs) and chondrosarcoma grade 1 (CS1) as intermediate and malignant tumors. respectively. Furthermore, the classification categorizes chondrosarcomas (including ACT) into eight subtypes: central conventional (grade 1 vs. 2–3), secondary peripheral (grade 1 vs. 2–3), periosteal, dedifferentiated, mesenchymal, and clear cell chondrosarcoma. Most chondrosarcomas are the low-grade, primary central conventional type. The rarer subtypes include clear cell, mesenchymal, and dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas. Comprehensive analysis of the characteristic imaging findings can help differentiate various forms of chondrosarcomas. However, distinguishing low-grade chondrosarcomas from enchondromas or high-grade chondrosarcomas is radiologically and histopathologically challenging, even for experienced radiologists and pathologists.

The regulatory role of LncRNA HCG18 in various cancers. J Mol Med (Berl) 2023; 101:351-360. [PMID: 36872315 DOI: 10.1007/s00109-023-02297-5] [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: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/07/2023]
Abstract
As a member of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), LncRNA HLA complex group 18 (HCG18) has recently become the focus of cancer research. As outlined in this review, LncRNA HCG18 has been reported to be dysregulated in various cancers development and appears to be activated in a variety of tumors, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), colorectal cancer (CRC), gastric cancer (GC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LHSCC), lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC), osteosarcoma (OS), and prostate cancer (PCa). Furthermore, the expression of lncRNA HCG18 decreased in bladder cancer (BC) and papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Overall, the presence of these differential expressions suggests the clinical value of HCG18 in cancer therapy. Additionally, lncRNA HCG18 influences various biological processes of cancer cells. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms of HCG18 in cancer development, highlights reported the abnormal expression of HCG18 found in various cancer types, and aims to discuss the potential of HCG18 as a target for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) is an emerging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that can reflect microstructural changes in tissue through non-Gaussian diffusion of water molecules. Compared to traditional diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), the DKI model has shown greater sensitivity for diagnosis of musculoskeletal diseases and can help formulate more reasonable treatment plans. Moreover, DKI is an important auxiliary examination for evaluation of the motor function of the musculoskeletal system. This article briefly introduces the basic principles of DKI and reviews the application and research of DKI in the evaluation of disorders of the musculoskeletal system (including bone tumors, soft tissue tumors, spinal lesions, chronic musculoskeletal diseases, musculoskeletal trauma, and developmental disorders) as well as the normal musculoskeletal tissues. EVIDENCE LEVEL: 5 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: 1.

Abstract
Improved understanding of tumor biology through molecular alteration and genetic advances has resulted in a number of major changes in the 2020 World Health Organization's (WHO) classification of bone tumors. These changes include the reclassification of the existing tumors and the introduction of several new entities. A new chapter on undifferentiated small round cell sarcomas of bone and soft tissue was added to classify Ewing sarcoma and the family of Ewing-like sarcomas, which share similar histologies but different molecular and clinical behaviors. Knowledge of the current classification of bone tumors is essential to ensure the appropriate recognition of the inherent biological potential of individual osseous lesions for optimal treatment, follow-up, and overall outcome. This article reviews the major changes to the 2020 WHO's classification of primary bone tumors and the pertinent imaging of selected tumors to highlight these changes.

Abstract
Introduction The distinction between giant cell tumors and giant cell granulomas is challenging, as both entities have overlapping diagnostic criteria, especially in oral locations. The two entities have similar clinical and radiological presentations, but they differ in their prognoses. Objective The main objective of this study was to list the clinical, radiological, histological, and prognostic features of maxillomandibular giant cell tumors and giant cell granulomas cases n order to assess their value as a diagnostic referral factor that may allow the distinction between maxillo-mandibular giant cell granuloma and giant cell tumor. Study design Data of maxillomandibular giant cell granulomas and giant cell tumors were assessed through a scoping review and a pre-existing systematic review of literature. We have also realized a bicentric retrospective study. Results Various criteria facilitate the differential diagnosis like age, size, locularity and presence of necrosis zone but not the gender. The most discriminating factors was symptomatology (reported in 72% of GCTs while only 15% of GCGs) and the distribution pattern of giant cells in the stroma (homogeneously dispersed in 80% of GCTs versus grouped in clusters in 86.7% of GCGs). Recurrences were most described for giant cell tumors than giant cell granulomas. Malignant transformation and pulmonary metastasis were exclusively reported for giant cell tumors. Conclusion As clinical and radiological elements are not sufficient to distinguish between these two entities, immunohistochemistry and molecular genetics can be represent diagnostic biomarkers to distinguish giant cell granulomas and giant cell tumors in oral cavity. We have attempted to define the main criteria for the differentiation of giant cell tumor and giant cell granuloma and propose a decision tree for the management of single maxillomandibular giant cell lesions.

Abstract
Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign osseous lesions containing blood-filled cavities separated by walls of connective tissue. They can be difficult to identify clinically due to similarities in presentation, imaging, and histology with other pathologies. Specifically, it is important to distinguish these benign lesions from malignant processes, as both surgical and medical management differ. We present the case of a 21-year-old patient who presented with impaired motor and sensory function in his lower extremities. Radiologic findings were concerning for an invasive neoplasm, and the intraoperative frozen section supported this conclusion. However, an additional histological investigation was confirmatory for a diagnosis of an aneurysmal bone cyst. The patient underwent corpectomy, laminectomy, and a posterior spinal fusion, and regained motor and sensory function shortly thereafter. This report details the importance of considering aneurysmal bone cysts in the differential of infiltrative bone lesions, despite their benign nature, as medical and surgical management can vary greatly.

Abstract
Painful benign bone tumors most commonly affect pediatric patients and young adults. They may be associated with skeletal-related events such as intractable pain, pathologic fracture, neurologic deficit as a consequence of nerve or spinal cord compression, as well as growth disturbance. Consequently, they often result in diminished activity and adversely affect quality of life. There have been substantial recent advances in percutaneous minimally invasive image-guided interventions for treatment of painful benign bone tumors including thermal ablation (radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, microwave ablation, laser photocoagulation, and high-intensity focused US ablation), chemical (alcohol) ablation, cementoplasty, and intralesional injections. The safety, efficacy, and durability of such interventions have been established in the recent literature and as such, the role of musculoskeletal interventional radiologists in the care of patients with benign bone lesions has substantially expanded. The treatment goal of minimally invasive musculoskeletal interventions in patients with benign bone tumors is to achieve definitive cure. The authors detail the most recent advances and available armamentarium in minimally invasive image-guided percutaneous interventions with curative intent for the management of benign bone tumors. © RSNA, 2022.

Extradural Primary Malignant Spinal Tumors in a Population Younger than 25 Years: An Ambispective International Multicenter Study on Onco-Surgical Outcomes. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15030845.

Abstract
Extradural malignant primary spinal tumors are rare and outcome data, especially for younger patients, is limited. In a worldwide (11 centers) study (Predictors of Mortality and Morbidity in the Surgical Management of Primary Tumors of the Spine study; ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT01643174) by the AO Spine Knowledge Forum Tumor, patients surgically treated for primary tumors of the spine between 1992 and 2012, were retrospectively analyzed from a prospective database of their medical history. Medical history, tumor characteristics, diagnostics, treatments, cross-sectional survival, and local recurrences were analyzed. Sixty-eight cases (32 f; 36 m), at an average age of 18.6 ± 4.7 years at the time of diagnosis, were identified (median follow-up 2.9 years). The most common entities were Ewing's sarcoma (42.6%). Of the patients, 28% had undergone previous spine tumor surgery in another center (84% with intralesional margins). Resection was considered "Enneking appropriate" (EA) in 47.8% of the cases. Of the patients, 77.9% underwent chemotherapy and 50% radiotherapy. A local recurrence occurred in 36.4%. Over a third of patients died within a 10-year follow-up period. Kaplan-Meier-analysis demonstrated statistically significant overall survival (p = 0.007) and local recurrence rates (p = 0.042) for tumors treated with EA surgery versus Enneking inappropriate surgery. Aggressive resection of extradural primary malignant spinal tumors combined with adjuvant therapy reveals low local recurrence rates and better outcomes overall in younger patients.

Abstract
Extradural primary spinal tumors were retrospectively analyzed from a prospective database of 1495 cases. All subjects with benign primary tumors under the age of 25 years, who were enrolled between 1990 and 2012 (Median FU was 2.4 years), were identified. Patient- and case-related characteristics were collected and statistically analyzed. Results: 161 patients (66f;95m; age 17.0 ± 4.7 years at time of diagnosis) were identified. The most common tumors were osteoblastomas n = 53 (32.9%), osteoid osteomas n = 45 (28.0%), and aneurysmal bone cysts n = 32 (19.9%). The tumor grade, according to the Enneking Classification S1/S2/S3, was 14/73/74 (8.7/45.3/46.0%), respectively. Tumor-related pain was present in 156 (96.9%) patients. Diagnosis was achieved by biopsies in 2/3 of the cases. Spinal fixation was used in >50% of the cases. Resection was Enneking appropriate in n = 100 (62.1%) of cases. Local recurrence occurred in 21 (13.1%) patients. Two patients died within a 10-year follow-up period. Conclusion: This is one of the largest international multicenter cohorts of young patients surgically treated for benign spinal tumors. The heterogenic young patient cohort presented at a mid-term follow-up without a correlation between the grade of aggressiveness in resection and local recurrence rates. Further prospective data are required to identify prognostic factors that determine oncological and functional outcomes for young patients suffering from these rare tumors.

Abstract
There are numerous bone tumors in the pediatric population, with imaging playing an essential role in diagnosis and management. Our understanding of certain bone tumors has rapidly evolved over the past decade with advancements in next-generation genetic sequencing techniques. This increased level of understanding has altered the nomenclature, management approach, and prognosis of certain lesions. We provide a detailed update of bone tumors that occur in the pediatric population with emphasis on the recently released nomenclature provided in the 5th edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Soft Tissue and Bone Tumours. We discuss other mesenchymal tumors of bone, hematopoietic neoplasms of bone, and WHO classification of undifferentiated small round cell sarcomas of bone. We have detailed osteogenic tumors and osteoclastic giant cell-rich tumors, as well as notochordal tumors, chondrogenic tumors, and vascular tumors of the bone in separate manuscripts.

Abstract
At present, surgery is one of the main treatments for bone tumor. However, the risk of recurrence and the large area of bone defects after surgery pose a great challenge. Therefore, a Janus-inspired core-shell structure bone scaffold was designed to achieve the self-programmed release of melatonin at different concentrations, clearing the residual tumor cells at early stage after resection and promoting bone repair later. The layered differential load designs inspired by Janus laid the foundation for the differential release of melatonin, where sufficient melatonin inhibited tumor growth as low dose promoted osteogenesis. Then, the automatically programmed delivery of melatonin is achieved by the gradient degradation of the core-shell structure. In the material characterization, scanning electron microscopy revealed the core-shell structure. The drug release experiment and in vivo degradation experiment reflected the programmed differential release of melatonin. In the biological experiment part, in vivo and in vitro experiments not only confirmed the significant inhibitory effect of the core-shell hydrogel scaffold on tumor but also confirmed its positive effect on osteogenesis. Our Janus-inspired core-shell hydrogel scaffold provides a safe and efficient means to inhibit tumor recurrence and bone repair after bone tumor, and it also develops a new and efficient tool for differential and programmed release of other drugs.

[PMID: 36925933 PMCID: PMC10012421 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1090229] [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: 11/05/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aims to develop and validate the performance of an unenhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based combined radiomics nomogram for discrimination between low-grade and high-grade in chondrosarcoma. Methods A total of 102 patients with 44 in low-grade and 58 in high-grade chondrosarcoma were enrolled and divided into training set (n=72) and validation set (n=30) with a 7:3 ratio in this retrospective study. The demographics and unenhanced MRI imaging characteristics of the patients were evaluated to develop a clinic-radiological factors model. Radiomics features were extracted from T1-weighted (T1WI) images to construct radiomics signature and calculate radiomics score (Rad-score). According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, a combined radiomics nomogram based on MRI was constructed by integrating radiomics signature and independent clinic-radiological features. The performance of the combined radiomics nomogram was evaluated in terms of calibration, discrimination, and clinical usefulness. Results Using multivariate logistic regression analysis, only one clinic-radiological feature (marrow edema OR=0.29, 95% CI=0.11-0.76, P=0.012) was found to be independent predictors of differentiation in chondrosarcoma. Combined with the above clinic-radiological predictor and the radiomics signature constructed by LASSO [least absolute shrinkage and selection operator], a combined radiomics nomogram based on MRI was constructed, and its predictive performance was better than that of clinic-radiological factors model and radiomics signature, with the AUC [area under the curve] of the training set and the validation set were 0.78 (95%CI =0.67-0.89) and 0.77 (95%CI =0.59-0.94), respectively. DCA [decision curve analysis] showed that combined radiomics nomogram has potential clinical application value. Conclusion The MRI-based combined radiomics nomogram is a noninvasive preoperative prediction tool that combines clinic-radiological feature and radiomics signature and shows good predictive effect in distinguishing low-grade and high-grade bone chondrosarcoma, which may help clinicians to make accurate treatment plans.

A new model of preoperative systemic inflammatory markers predicting overall survival of osteosarcoma: a multicenter retrospective study. BMC Cancer 2022; 22:1370. [PMID: 36585638 PMCID: PMC9805258 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-022-10477-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the significance of preoperative C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in predicting overall survival (OS) of osteosarcoma, to establish a nomogram of an individualized prognostic prediction model for osteosarcoma. METHODS Two hundred thirty-five patients with osteosarcoma from multiple centers were included in this study. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and Youden index were used to determine the optimal cutoff values for CAR, NLR, and PLR. Univariate analysis using COX proportional hazards model to identify factors associated with OS in osteosarcoma, and multivariate analysis of these factors to identify independent prognostic factors. R software (4.1.3-win) rms package was used to build a nomogram, and the concordance index (C-index) and calibration curve were used to assess model accuracy and discriminability. RESULTS Univariate analysis revealed that the OS of osteosarcoma is significantly correlated (P < 0.05) with CAR, NLR, PLR, Enneking stage, tumor size, age, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), and high alkaline phosphatase. Multivariate analysis confirmed that CAR, NLR, Enneking stage, NACT and tumor size are independent prognostic factors for OS of osteosarcoma. The calibration curve shows that the nomogram constructed from these factors has acceptable consistency and calibration capability. CONCLUSION Preoperative CAR and NLR were independent predictors of osteosarcoma prognosis, and the combination of nomogram model can realize individualized prognosis prediction and guide medical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION limb-sparing surgery is the mainstream treatment for primary extremity soft tissue sarcoma (ESTS) at referral centers, following advances in surgical reconstructions and multimodal management. However, amputation is still needed in selected patients and has not yet been described for a ESTS cohort in a contemporary scenario. MATERIAL AND METHODS consecutive patients who underwent surgery for primary ESTS from 2006 to 2018 were extracted from a prospectively collected database at our reference center. Patients receiving amputation for either primary tumor or local recurrence (LR) after limb-sparing surgery were selected for analysis. RESULTS Among 1628 primary ESTS, 29 patients underwent primary amputation (1.8%), 22/1159 (1.9%) for upper limb and 7/469 (1.5%) for lower limb ESTS. Patients were mainly affected by grade III FNCLCC (89.6%) of notable dimension (median size 16 cm, IQR 10-24). 65.5% of patients received preoperative treatments (systemic or regional chemotherapy, radiotherapy or chemo-radiation). Secondary amputation for LR was performed after a median of 23 months in 16/1599 patients (1%). Median survival time was 16.2 and 29.6 months after primary or secondary amputation respectively. Factors prompting the need for a primary amputation were most often a combination of multifocal disease, bone invasion and pain or neurovascular bundle involvement and relevant comorbidities, mainly for grade III tumors in elderly patients. CONCLUSION Contemporary rate of amputation for ESTS at a reference center is extremely low. Still, amputation is required in selected cases with advanced presentations, especially in elderly, frail patients.

Abstract
Background Skull base chordoma and chondrosarcoma are exceptionally rare bone tumors with high propensity for local recurrence. Different postoperative radiation modalities are often used to improve the clinical efficacy. Proton therapy (PT) might be among the most promising ones because of the unique ballistic characteristics of high-energy particles. However, previous meta-analysis often included studies with combined radiation techniques. No systematic review to date has directly analyzed the survival and toxicity of pure PT for these two types of malignancies. Methods By following the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search of three databases was conducted. Articles were screened and data were extracted according to a prespecified scheme. R 4.2.0 software was used to conduct the meta-analysis. Normal distribution test was used for the incidence rate of each subgroup. Results A total of seven studies involving 478 patients were included in this analysis. The quality of included articles ranged from moderate to high quality. All patients were histopathologically diagnosed with chordoma or chondrosarcoma, and the follow-up time of the cohort ranged from 21 to 61.7 months. For PT planning, the median target volume ranged from 15 cc to 40 cc, and the administered median dose varied from 63 to 78.4 GyRBE at 1.8-2.0 GyRBE per fraction. The 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year local control and overall survival rates were 100%, 93%, 87%, 78%, and 68%, and 100%, 99%, 89%, 85%, and 68%, respectively. The late grade 3 or higher toxicities were reported in only two involved articles. Conclusions Until now, medical centers worldwide have exerted PT to improve outcomes of skull base chordomas and chondrosarcomas. PT not combined with other radiation modalities showed favorable local control and survival with a low incidence of severe radiation-induced toxicities, which manifests promising clinical benefits. However, high-quality evidence is still limited, requiring future clinical trials and prospective studies in selected patients.

Abstract
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma (OFD-like adamantinoma), classical adamantinoma and dedifferentiated adamantinoma were previously considered to be three subtypes of adamantinoma of long bones. In the 5th edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of bone tumors in 2020, OFD-like adamantinoma was newly proposed and classified as an intermediate-locally aggressive tumor in other mesenchymal tumors of bone. OFD-like adamantinoma is rare, accounting for only 0.4% of all primary bone tumors. OFD-like adamantinoma is often misdiagnosed due to the insufficient understanding of it. Here we report a case of OFD-like adamantinoma treated in our hospital with a literature review. CASE PRESENTATION The patient, a 14-year-old male, had swelling in his right leg with intermittent pain for one year. Plain radiography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed. Based on the radiological and histological examinations, a diagnosis of OFD-like adamantinoma was suspected. After admission, the patient underwent tumor resection of the right tibia, free transplantation of the left fibula and internal fixation. After resection of the tumor, the wound recovered well, the vital signs were stable, and activity was normal. The patient has been followed up for more than a year with no recurrence or distant metastasis. CONCLUSION OFD-like adamantinoma is a rare primary bone tumor with nonspecific clinical features. Imaging examination can demonstrate the lesion and help diagnosis. The pathological discovery of epithelioid tissue is the key evidence for diagnosis.

Abstract
There are numerous bone tumors in the pediatric population, with imaging playing an essential role in diagnosis and management. Our understanding of certain bone tumors has rapidly evolved over the past decade with advancements in next-generation genetic sequencing techniques. This increased level of understanding has altered the nomenclature, management approach, and prognosis of certain lesions. We provide a detailed update of bone tumors that occur in the pediatric population with emphasis on the recently released nomenclature provided in the 5th edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Soft Tissue and Bone Tumours. In the current manuscript, we address notochordal tumors, chondrogenic tumors, and vascular tumors of the bone.

Abstract
Melanotic nerve sheath tumor (MNST) is a rare variant of schwannoma. Here, we report an unusual case of multiple MNST lesions located in the upper limb nerves. The patient presented with a mass on the left wrist in 2016 and another mass on the left thumb in 2017. In both instances, magnetic resonance imaging scans confirmed multiple giant-cell tumors of the tendon sheath. Persistent pain in the left upper limb and numbness in the ring finger and little finger recurred in 2021. High-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) showed that the left brachial plexus nerves (C5-8) were widened compared with those on the contralateral side; the neuroma formed at the lateral cord, and the median nerve was markedly thickened. The surgical findings were consistent with the ultrasound results. Pathology confirmed that the tumors were malignant MNSTs. HFUS is important for preoperative diagnosis and lesion localization, even identifying some lesions that are unrecognized on magnetic resonance imaging; thus, HFUS is crucial for improving surgical strategy and decision-making.

Abstract
Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma is an aggressive bone tumor with high rates of metastasis that severely impact the patient’s prognosis. Treatment usually consists of either a limb-salvage procedure or limb amputation, the former being more commonly performed. Size of the tumor severely impacts the likelihood of presenting metastasis at diagnosis. Female gender appears to be an important protective factor against death.
Introduction Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DDC) is an aggressive osseous neoplasm with a dismal prognosis. Treatment commonly involves limb-salvage surgery or amputation. In patients with appendicular DDC, we sought to describe demographic, clinical and treatment characteristics (1), analyze risk factors for metastasis (2) and overall death (3), and assess survival rates by treatment (4). Materials and methods Two-hundred-and-five patients from the SEER Database were included in our analysis. Demographic, clinical and treatment variables were analyzed. Multivariate regression was performed to identify risk factors. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results Fifty-one (24.9 %) of the patients included presented metastasis at diagnosis. The most common locations were the lungs, other sites, and bone. Surgery to the primary site was more common in patients without metastasis (94.2 %) than those with (78.2 %); limb-salvage procedures were more common than amputations. Tumors >8 cm (T2) and those discontinuous (T3) were more likely to present metastasis at diagnosis (OR = 2.54, p = 0.043 and OR = 7.4, p = 0.008, respectively). Female gender was found to be a protective factor for overall death on crude analysis (OR = 0.33, p = 0.019). Metastases to sites other than the lungs (M1b) had the highest risk of overall death (OR = 49, p = 0.01). Combination of surgery and chemotherapy showed a trend towards higher overall survival in non-metastatic patients (p = 0.1069 and p = 0.1703). Conclusions Appendicular DDC displays a high metastatic rate and low survival rates. The most common procedure is a limb-salvage surgery. Tumor size increases the risk of presenting metastases at diagnosis and female gender is a protective factor against death.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cells largely contribute to antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), a central factor for success of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) treatment of cancer. The B7 family member B7-H3 (CD276) recently receives intense interest as a novel promising target antigen for immunotherapy. B7-H3 is highly expressed in many tumor entities, whereas expression on healthy tissues is rather limited. We here studied expression of B7-H3 in sarcoma, and found substantial levels to be expressed in various bone and soft-tissue sarcoma subtypes. To date, only few immunotherapeutic options for treatment of sarcomas that are limited to a minority of patients are available. We here used a B7-H3 mAb to generate chimeric mAbs containing either a wildtype Fc-part (8H8_WT) or a variant Fc part with amino-acid substitutions (S239D/I332E) to increase affinity for CD16 expressing NK cells (8H8_SDIE). In comparative studies we found that 8H8_SDIE triggers profound NK cell functions such as activation, degranulation, secretion of IFNγ and release of NK effector molecules, resulting in potent lysis of different sarcoma cells and primary sarcoma cells derived from patients. Our findings emphasize the potential of 8H8_SDIE as novel compound for treatment of sarcomas, particularly since B7-H3 is expressed in bone and soft-tissue sarcoma independent of their subtype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study sought to identify potential key genes for osteosarcoma metastasis and analyze their immune infiltration patterns using bioinformatic methods. METHODS We obtained transcriptomic data related to osteosarcoma and osteosarcoma with metastasis from the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatment (TARGET) and The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases and identified the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). We also identified potential key genes for osteosarcoma metastasis by a protein-protein interaction network analysis, and we conducted a Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis to identify the core genes for prognosis, immune cell infiltration, and drug sensitivity, and the risk prediction and prognosis models of metastasis were constructed. RESULTS By comparing the transcriptome data of osteosarcomas without metastasis and those with metastasis, a total of 19 core DEGs were identified, and the GO and KEGG analyses revealed an association between these DEGs and the regulation of cell division, secretory granule lumen, the Ras-associated protein 1 (Rap1) signaling pathway, and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. Compared with other immune cells, macrophage infiltration was predominant in osteosarcoma samples with metastatic osteosarcoma, and insulin-like growth factors-1 (IGF1) and myelocytomatosis protein 2 (MYC2) genes were predicted to more than 50 targeted therapeutic agents. A metastasis prediction model with 5 genes [i.e., ecotropic viral integration site 2B (EVI2B), CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (CEBPA), lymphocyte cytosolic protein 2 (LCP2), selectin L (SELL), and Niemann-Pick disease, type C2A (NPC2A)], and a prognostic model with 4 genes [i.e., insulin-like growth factors-2 (IGF2), cathepsin O (CTSO), Niemann-Pick disease, type C2 (NPC2), and amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein-binding, family B, member 1 interacting protein (APBB1IP)] were developed. CONCLUSIONS We constructed a metastasis prediction model with 5 genes (i.e., EVI2B, CEBPA, LCP2, SELL, and NPC2A), and a prognostic model with 4 genes (i.e., IGF2, CTSO, NPC2, and APBB1IP) that may be potential biomarkers for osteosarcoma metastasis. Macrophages are the predominant immune infiltrating cells in osteosarcoma metastasis and may provide a new direction for the treatment of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the molecular mechanism underlying the pathophysiology of primary skeletal tumors is crucial due to the tumor-related complications, incidence at a young age, and tumor recurrence. METHODS AND RESULTS The local expression pattern of MMP-9 as an active matrix-degrading protease was detected in 180 bone tissues, including 90 tumors and 90 noncancerous tissues, utilizing real-time qRT-PCR at the mRNA level and immunohistochemistry at the protein level. The correlation of the MMP-9 expression level with the patient's clinical pathological characteristics and the aggressiveness of the tumor was evaluated. The diagnostic significance of MMP-9 and the model of association of variables and MMP-9 expression and their predictive values were determined. Mean mRNA expression was higher in all types of primary bone tumors than their paired non-cancerous tissues. Osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma expressed higher levels of MMP-9 compared to benign giant cell tumors, and the MMP-9 expression level was significantly correlated with the size, metastasis, and recurrence of the malignant tumor. A consistent expression pattern was demonstrated for MMP-9 protein levels in tissues. In addition, the MMP-9 gene and protein levels significantly discriminate between bone tumors and normal tissue, as well as benign and malignant tumors, and could predict potentially malignant traits such as tumor grade and metastasis. CONCLUSIONS The data propose that MMP-9 may be involved in the proliferation and invasion of primary bone tumors and has the potential to monitor and treat the progression of malignant tumors.

Abstract
Benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) mostly occurs on the skin of the extremities, while it is unusual to manifest on the bone and mandibular involvement of BFH is even rarer. The present study reports a case of BFH in a 42-year-old female who had a slowly progressive swelling of the bilateral mandible and slight facial asymmetry over a period of 4 months. However, the outcome of this patient was unsatisfactory, with the first and second recurrence observed 16 and 46 months after surgery, respectively. The present case suggests that BFH has a risk of recurrence after transoral curettage. Regular follow-up is advised to detect tumor recurrence after the surgery of transoral curettage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Giant cell-rich osteosarcoma (GCRO) is a rare histological variant of osteosarcoma. Spinal GCROs are extremely rare, with challenging diagnosis and management. Herein, we present a case of spinal GCRO at T2, which was not diagnosed in initial biopsy but after T2 corpectomy. We detailed the clinical course, management strategy, and outcome after a 4-year follow-up.
CASE SUMMARY A 17-year-old female patient presented with back pain followed by ascending paresthesia. Spinal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a collapsed T2 vertebra with an enhancing osteolytic mass. CT-guided biopsy showed inconclusive morphology. Pathology from T2 corpectomy revealed GCRO. The patient subsequently received neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by salvage operation of T2 costotransversectomy with grossly-total resection adjuvant chemoradiation. Upon treatment completion, she had complete GCRO remission. The 4-year follow-up spinal MRI showed no tumor recurrence.
CONCLUSION Spinal GCRO poses unique challenges in obtaining sufficient tissue diagnosis and complete surgical removal. However, long-term local control of spinal GCRO is possible following complete resection and adjuvant chemoradiation

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most frequently diagnosed primary malignant bone tumor in humans and dogs. In both species, standard chemotherapy can be limited by multidrug resistance of neoplastic cells, which prevents intracellular accumulation of cytotoxic drugs, resulting in chemotherapy failure. In this study, a lipophilic ester of doxorubicin (C12DOXO) was loaded into nanoparticles (NPs) using the “cold microemulsion dilution” method. The resulting NPs were then coated with calcium phosphate (CaP) in two different ways to have calcium or phosphate ions externally exposed on the surface. These systems were characterized by determining mean diameter, zeta potential, and drug entrapment efficiency; afterward, they were tested on human and canine OSA cells to study the role that the coating might play in increasing both drug uptake into tumor cells and cytotoxicity. Mean diameter of the developed NPs was in the 200–300 nm range, zeta potential depended on the coating type, and C12DOXO entrapment efficiency was in the 60–75% range. Results of studies on human and canine OSA cells were very similar and showed an increase in drug uptake and cytotoxicity for CaP-coated NPs, especially when calcium ions were externally exposed. Therefore, applications in both human and veterinary medicine can be planned in the near future.

Abstract
Introduction The burden of cancer-related mortality of common malignancies has been reported worldwide. However, whether bone cancer (BC), as a highly aggressive and heterogeneous group of rare cancers, followed a similar or distinct epidemiological pattern during such process remains largely unknown. We aimed to analyze the mortality and the temporal trends of BC in relation to gender, age, and premature death in Shanghai, China. Methods We conducted a population-based analysis of the mortality data of BC in Shanghai Pudong New Area (PNA) from 2005 to 2020. The epidemiological characteristics and long-term trends in crude mortality rates (CMRs), age-standardized mortality rates worldwide (ASMRWs), and rate of years of life lost (YLL) was analyzed using the Joinpoint regression program. The demographic and non-demographic factors affecting the mortality rate were evaluated by the decomposition method. Results There are 519 BC-specific deaths accounting for 0.15% of all 336,823 deaths and 0.49% of cancer-specific death in PNA. The CMR and ASMRW of BC were 1.15/105 person-year and 0.61/105 person-year, respectively. The YLL due to premature death from BC was 6,539.39 years, with the age group of 60–69 years having the highest YLL of 1,440.79 years. The long-term trend of CMR, ASMRW, and YLL rate significantly decreased by −5.14%, −7.64%, and −7.27%, respectively, per year (all p < 0.05) in the past 16 years. However, the proportion of BC-specific death within the total cancer-specific death dropped to a plateau without further improvement since 2016, and a remarkable gender and age disparity was noticed in the observed reduction in mortality. Specifically, the elderly benefited less but accounted for a larger percentage of BC population in the last decades. Although the overall mortality of BC decreased, there was still a significant upward trend toward an increased mortality rate caused by the aging of the BC patients. Conclusion Our study provides novel insights on the epidemiological characteristics and longitudinal dynamics of BC in a fast urbanization and transitioning city. As a rare disease affecting all ages, the burden of BC among the elderly emerged to form an understudied and unmet medical need in an aging society.

Abstract
Bone sarcomas are rare primary malignant mesenchymal bone tumors. The three main entities are osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing sarcoma. While prognosis has improved for affected patients over the past decades, bone sarcomas are still critical conditions that require an interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approach. While radiotherapy plays a role especially in Ewing sarcoma and chemotherapy in Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma, surgery remains the main pillar of treatment in all three entities. After complete tumor resection, the created bone defects need to be reconstructed. Possible strategies are implantation of allografts or autografts including vascularized bone grafts (e.g., of the fibula). Around the knee joint, rotationplasty can be performed or, as an alternative, the implantation of (expandable) megaprostheses can be performed. Challenges still associated with the implantation of foreign materials are aseptic loosening and infection. Future improvements may come with advances in 3D printing of individualized resection blades/implants, thus also securing safe tumor resection margins while at the same time shortening the required surgical time. Faster osseointegration and lower infection rates may possibly be achieved through more elaborate implant surface structures.

Abstract
(1) Background: This retrospective study aimed to analyze the history and treatment outcomes of localized, high-grade MLS of the extremities. (2) Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 82 patients with primary high-grade MLS of the extremities. OS, LRFS, MFS, PRS, and DFS were analyzed. (3) Results: Five-year OS and LRS were 96% (95% CI: 86-98) and 94% (95% CI: 85-98), respectively. Statistical analysis indicated no risk factors for OS and LFRS. MFS was 77% (65-85) at 5-year follow-up. Size (p = 0.0337) was the only risk factor statistically significant for MFS (HR = 0.248, 95% CI: 0.07-0.84). Median PRS after distant metastasis was 34 months (range: 1-127 months). Five-year PRS was 79% (48-93). Overall, the 5-year DFS was 76% (65-85). (4) Conclusions: Patients with MLS were found to have a good prognosis. In high-grade deep-seated tumors, common risk factors for MLS do not correlate with survival. Tumor size appears to be the only predictor of long-term DSF and MSF.

Abstract
Ollier disease and Maffucci syndrome are the commonest enchondromatosis subtypes, arising from non-hereditary mutations in the IDH1 and IDH2 genes, presenting in childhood and being characterised by multiple enchondromas. Maffucci syndrome also includes multiple soft tissue haemangiomas. Aside from developing bony masses, osseous deformity and pathological fracture, ~ 40% of these patients develop secondary central chondrosarcoma, and there is increased risk of non-skeletal malignancies such as gliomas and mesenchymal ovarian tumours. In this review, we outline the molecular genetics, pathology and multimodality imaging features of solitary enchondroma, Ollier disease and Maffucci syndrome, along with their associated skeletal complications, in particular secondary chondrosarcoma. Given the lifelong risk of malignancy, imaging follow-up will also be explored. Metachondromatosis, a rare enchondromatosis subtype characterised by enchondromas and exostoses, will also be briefly outlined.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary abdominal wall sarcomas are rare, heterogeneous tumours. The mainstay of management is surgery, although local recurrences (LR) and distant metastases (DM) are common. OBJECTIVES Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were primary outcomes; factors associated with prognosis secondary outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients undergoing surgery of primary abdominal wall sarcomas between April 2008 and May 2018 were identified at two referrals centres for sarcoma surgery. Patient demographics, tumour and treatment-related characteristics were recorded and analysed. RESULTS A cohort of 65 patients underwent surgical resection with a median follow-up of 56 months, 5-year OS and DFS were 69% and 71%, respectively. Eleven patients (16.9%) experienced a recurrence event: 6 LR (9.2%), 10 DM (15.4%) and 5 both (7.7%). At univariate analysis, size (p = 0.03), grade (p = 0.001) and depth (p = 0.04) were associated with OS while size (p = 0.02) was associated with DFS. No significant relationship with tumour depth, type of surgery, surgical margin status or neo-/adjuvant treatment was demonstrated. CONCLUSION Recurrence events are less common following treatment of abdominal wall sarcomas if compared to extremities STSs, but size (≥5 cm), high malignancy grade (FNCLCC 3) and depth are associated with worse OS.

New Approach against Chondrosoma Cells—Cold Plasma Treatment Inhibits Cell Motility and Metabolism, and Leads to Apoptosis. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10030688. [PMID: 35327489 PMCID: PMC8945812 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10030688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 03/07/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Chondrosarcoma (CS) is a malignant primary bone tumor with a cartilaginous origin. Its slow cell division and severely restricted vascularization are responsible for its poor responsiveness to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The decisive factor for the prognosis of CS patients is the only adequate therapy—surgical resection. Cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) is emerging as a new option in anti-cancer therapy. Its effect on chondrosarcomas has been poorly investigated. (2) Methods: Two CS cell lines—SW 1353 and CAL 78—were used. Various assays, such as cell growth kinetics, glucose uptake, and metabolic activity assay, along with two different apoptosis assays were performed after CAP treatment. A radius cell migration assay was used to examine cell motility. (3) Results: Both cell lines showed different growth behavior, which was taken into account when using the assays. After CAP treatment, a reduction in metabolic activity was observed in both cell lines. The immediate effect of CAP showed a reduction in cell numbers and in influence on this cell line’s growth rate. The measurement of the glucose concentration in the cell culture medium showed an increase after CAP treatment. Live-dead cell imaging shows an increase in the proportion of dead cells over the incubation time for both cell lines. There was a significant increase in apoptotic signals after 48 h and 72 h for both cell lines in both assays. The migration assay showed that CAP treatment inhibited the motility of chondrosarcoma cells. The effects in all experiments were related to the duration of CAP exposure. (4) Conclusions: The CAP treatment of CS cells inhibits their growth, motility, and metabolism by initiating apoptotic processes.

Zhou L, Lin S, Zhu H, Dong Y, Yang Q, Yuan T. The blood pressure and use of tourniquet are related to local recurrence after intralesional curettage of primary benign bone tumors: a retrospective and hypothesis-generating study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:201. [PMID: 35241034 PMCID: PMC8892695 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05157-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2021] [Accepted: 02/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims Intralesional curettage is a commonly used treatment for primary bone tumors. However, local recurrence of tumors after curettage remains a major challenge. Questions (1) Is blood pressure related to local recurrence after intralesional curettage for benign or intermediate bone tumors? (2) What’s the impact of tourniquet usage on the risk of recurrence from high blood pressure? Methods This retrospective study evaluated patients receiving intralesional curettage for primary bone tumors from January 2011 to January 2015. A total of 411 patients with a minimum five-year follow-up were included for analysis. Demographic and disease-related variables were first assessed in univariable analyses for local recurrence risk. When a yielded p-value was < 0.2, variables were included in multivariable analyses to identify independent risk factors for local recurrence. Patients were then stratified by tourniquet usage (use/non-use), and risk from high blood pressure was evaluated in both subgroups. Results At an average follow-up of 6.8 ± 1.0 years, 63 of 411 patients (15.3%) experienced local recurrence. In multivariable analyses, local recurrence was associated with age (OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.94–0.99; p = 0.005); tumor type; lesion size (> 5 cm: OR, 3.58; 95% CI, 1.38–9.33; p = 0.009); anatomical site (proximal femur: OR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.21–5.15; p = 0.014; proximal humerus: OR, 3.34; 95% CI, 1.61–6.92; p = 0.001); and preoperative mean arterial pressure (> 110 mmHg: OR, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.20–5.67; P = 0.015). In subgroup analyses, after adjusting for age, tumor type, lesion size, and anatomical site, tourniquet use modified the preoperative mean arterial pressure - recurrence relationship: when tourniquet was not used, preoperative mean arterial pressure predicted local recurrence (95–110 mmHg, 4.13, 1.42–12.03, p = 0.009; > 110 mmHg, 28.06, 5.27–149.30, p < 0.001); when tourniquet was used, preoperative mean arterial pressure was not related to local recurrence (all p values > 0.05). Conclusions A high preoperative blood pressure was related to local recurrence after intralesional curettage for primary bone tumors in our study. Tourniquet usage and controlling blood pressure might be beneficial for reducing local recurrence in patients scheduled to receive intralesional curettage for primary bone tumor treatment. Level of evidence Level IV, hypothesis-generating study. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12891-022-05157-4.

Abstract
Despite great advances, therapeutic approaches of osteosarcoma, the most prevalent class of preliminary pediatric bone tumors, as well as bone-related malignancies, continue to demonstrate insufficient adequacy. In recent years, a growing trend toward applying natural bioactive compounds, particularly phytochemicals, as novel agents for cancer treatment has been observed. Bioactive phytochemicals exert their anticancer features through two main ways: they induce cytotoxic effects against cancerous cells without having any detrimental impact on normal cell macromolecules such as DNA and enzymes, while at the same time combating the oncogenic signaling axis activated in tumor cells. Thymoquinone (TQ), the most abundant bioactive compound of Nigella sativa, has received considerable attention in cancer treatment owing to its distinctive properties, including apoptosis induction, cell cycle arrest, angiogenesis and metastasis inhibition, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, along with inducing immune system responses and reducing side effects of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs. The present review is focused on the characteristics and mechanisms by which TQ exerts its cytotoxic effects on bone malignancies.

Recurrent Fusion of the Genes for High-mobility Group AT-hook 2 ( HMGA2) and Nuclear Receptor Co-repressor 2 ( NCOR2) in Osteoclastic Giant Cell-rich Tumors of Bone. Cancer Genomics Proteomics 2022; 19:163-177. [PMID: 35181586 DOI: 10.21873/cgp.20312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2021] [Revised: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Chimeras involving the high-mobility group AT-hook 2 gene (HMGA2 in 12q14.3) have been found in lipomas and other benign mesenchymal tumors. We report here a fusion of HMGA2 with the nuclear receptor co-repressor 2 gene (NCOR2 in 12q24.31) repeatedly found in tumors of bone and the first cytogenetic investigation of this fusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six osteoclastic giant cell-rich tumors were investigated using G-banding, RNA sequencing, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, Sanger sequencing, and fluorescence in situ hybridization. RESULTS Four tumors had structural chromosomal aberrations of 12q. The pathogenic variant c.103_104GG>AT (p.Gly35Met) in the H3.3 histone A gene was found in a tumor without 12q aberration. In-frame HMGA2-NCOR2 fusion transcripts were found in all tumors. In two cases, the presence of an HMGA2-NCOR2 fusion gene was confirmed by FISH on metaphase spreads. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate that a subset of osteoclastic giant cell-rich tumors of bone are characterized by an HMGA2-NCOR2 fusion gene.
