A Systematic Review of Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Localized Dedifferentiated Chondrosarcoma. Curr Oncol 2024; 31:566-578. [PMID: 38275833 PMCID: PMC10813944 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol31010040] [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: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DDCS) is a high-grade subtype of chondrosarcoma with the bimorphic histological appearance of a conventional chondrosarcoma component with abrupt transition to a high-grade, non-cartilaginous sarcoma. DDCS can be radiographically divided into central and peripheral types. Wide resection is currently the main therapeutic option for localized DDCS. Moreover, the effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy remains controversial. Therefore, we performed a systematic review of available evidence to evaluate the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy on localized DDCS. The purpose was to compare the 5-year survival rate among patients treated with surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy or surgery alone for localized DDCS. The search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases. Of the 217 studies shortlisted, 11 retrospective non-randomized studies (comprising 556 patients with localized DDCS) were selected. The 5-year survival rates were similar between the two treatment groups (28.2% (51/181) vs. 24.0% (90/375), respectively). The overall pooled odds ratio was 1.25 (95% confidence interval: 0.80-1.94; p = 0.324), and heterogeneity I2 was 2%. However, when limited to peripheral DDCS, adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with prolonged survival (p = 0.03). Due to the paucity of included studies and the absence of prospective comparative studies, no conclusions can be drawn regarding the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy for localized DDCS.

Abstract
A chondrosarcoma with pulmonary metastatic calcifications is a rarely reported phenomenon. This report discusses chondrosarcomas and their clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment, using as an example the case of a 55-year-old female with a right pelvic chondrosarcoma that developed over 10 years. In the last two years, the patient had increasing pulmonary findings, including pulmonary nodules, ground glass opacities, and likely pulmonary metastatic calcifications. The objective of this report is to explore chondrosarcomas and their pattern of metastatic presentation, with the hope of improving recognition of the disease and streamlining treatment.

Abstract
Introduction Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MC) is a rapidly progressive sarcoma that predominantly impacts the bones. Making up only 3% of chondrosarcomas, about one-third of these tumours develop in extra-skeletal sites. Case presentation The authors present a clinical case of a 42-year-old patient who was diagnosed with MC 8 years ago, now admitted to the hospital with a palpable epigastric mass. Clinical and laboratory examinations showed consistent results for MC tumours, with metastasis to the body and tail of the pancreas and invasion of the splenic vein. Surgical resection and systemic screening were performed to ensure that there were no lesions elsewhere. Regular follow-up has found no localized lesions or complications after 15 months. Clinical discussion Metastatic extra-skeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the pancreas is exceptionally rare. To our current understanding, only 14 such cases have been documented in medical literature. The symptoms of pancreatic metastasis are diverse and the radiographic features of metastatic mesenchymal chondrosarcoma are not typically distinct. Conclusions Although MC tumours do not frequently occur in sites other than the axial system, a tumour presenting later in a patient with a history of MC should be reviewed to confirm the diagnosis of metastatic MC. Treatment can vary between surgery, radiation therapy and systemic therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The pathogenesis of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma is controversial, and no genetic abnormality has consistently been identified in the disease. Focusing on the diagnostic challenges encountered in dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma, the following review aims at summarizing the tumor's active neoplastic pathways while highlighting therapeutic modalities that could potentially be explored to enhance patient survivorship. RECENT FINDINGS Owing to the challenging examination of small needle biopsy sampling as well as the disease's overlapping morphological and immunohistochemical features with other bone and soft-tissue sarcomas, the diagnosis of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma can be problematic. While combined doxorubicin- and cisplatin-based regimens remain the first-line systemic chemotherapy in the disease, ~50% of tumors carry EXT1/2 or IDH1/2 mutations, advancing EXT or IDH inhibitors as potential alternative therapies, respectively. Despite systemic chemotherapy, dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma remains an aggressive tumor with dismal prognosis and limited survival. A multidisciplinary collaboration across multiple cancer centers is warranted to yield an accurate diagnosis, understand the disease's underlying pathogenesis, develop adequate treatment, and improve patient survivorship.

Abstract
Bone sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of rare tumors with a predominance in the young population. Few options of systemic treatment are available once they become unresectable and resistant to conventional chemotherapy. A better knowledge of the key role that tyrosine kinase receptors (VEGFR, RET, MET, AXL, PDGFR, KIT, FGFR, IGF-1R) may play in the pathogenesis of these tumors has led to the development of multi-target inhibitors (TKIs) that are progressively being incorporated into our therapeutic arsenal. Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most frequent primary bone tumor and several TKIs have demonstrated clinical benefit in phase II clinical trials (cabozantinib, regorafenib, apatinib, sorafenib, and lenvatinib). Although the development of TKIs for other primary bone tumors is less advanced, preclinical data and early trials have begun to show their potential benefit in advanced Ewing sarcoma (ES) and rarer bone tumors (chondrosarcoma, chordoma, giant cell tumor of bone, and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma). Previous reviews have mainly provided information on TKIs for OS and ES. We aim to summarize the existing knowledge regarding the use of TKIs in all bone sarcomas including the most recent studies as well as the potential synergistic effects of their combination with other systemic therapies.

Abstract
Background: Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a rare but aggressive subtype of sarcoma. The majority of involvement locates in the axial skeleton. Treatment modalities include radical surgery, local radiotherapy, and systemic chemotherapy. However, the long-term survival outcome remains poor. Case presentation: We present the case of a 33-year-old male with a palpable chest wall mass for one year, diagnosed with mesenchymal chondrosarcoma with surgical removal. Later, he had an unusual pancreatic tail tumor as the first presentation of disease metastasis which was proven by surgical resection one year later. Conclusion: Although mesenchymal chondrosarcoma locates mainly in the axial skeletal system, extra-skeletal soft tissue or organ involvement might be seen occasionally. Active surveillance with multidisciplinary team management could significantly prolong survival outcomes.

Abstract
Chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor. In this multicenter study, we sought to evaluate the (i) disease-specific survival (DSS) and disease-free survival (DFS), and (ii) prognostic factors in patients with dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DDCS) and grade 3 chondrosarcoma (G3CS) in Japan. We retrospectively investigated the treatment outcomes and prognostic factors in 62 patients with DDCS and 19 patients with G3CS at 15 institutions participating in the Japanese Musculoskeletal Oncology Group. We also clarified significant clinico-pathological factors for oncological outcomes. In surgery for primary lesions aimed at cure, a histologically negative margin (R0) was obtained in 93% (14/15) of patients with G3CS and 100% (49/49) of patients with DDCS. The 5-year DSS was 18.5% in patients with DDCS and 41.7% in patients with G3CS (P = 0.13). Local control was obtained in 80% (12/15) and 79.6% (39/49) of patients with G3CS and DDCS in the primary lesion after surgery with a wide surgical margin, respectively. In multivariate analysis, stage and no treatment/palliative treatment for the primary lesion were independent prognostic factors for DSS of DDCS, age and no treatment/palliative treatment for DSS of G3CS. The 5-year DFS rate was 22.8% in 26 patients with DDCS who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy, and 21.4% in 14 patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy. The prognosis of DDCS remains poor, although R0 resection was performed in most cases. Effective and/or intensive chemotherapeutic regimens or agents should be considered or developed for patients with high-grade chondrosarcoma, particularly for those with DDCS.

Abstract
Bone sarcoma are infrequent diseases, representing < 0.2% of all adult neoplasms. A multidisciplinary management within reference centers for sarcoma, with discussion of the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies within an expert multidisciplinary tumour board, is essential for these patients, given its heterogeneity and low frequency. This approach leads to an improvement in patient's outcome, as demonstrated in several studies. The Sarcoma European Latin-American Network (SELNET), aims to improve clinical outcome in sarcoma care, with a special focus in Latin-American countries. These Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) have been developed and agreed by a multidisciplinary expert group (including medical and radiation oncologist, surgical oncologist, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologist, pathologist, molecular biologist and representatives of patients advocacy groups) of the SELNET consortium, and are conceived to provide the standard approach to diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of bone sarcoma patients in the Latin-American context.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Clinical trial enrollment should be actively encouraged in all patients diagnosed with advanced, surgically unresectable chondrosarcoma (CS) due to the lack of consensus treatment recommendations. In the absence of an appropriate clinical trial, treatments are determined based on histologic subtype of CS with consideration given to targetable mutations (i.e., IDH1). Conventional CS is inherently resistant to cytotoxic chemotherapy and patients may benefit from antiangiogenic therapy including off-label use of pazopanib. Individuals harboring an IDH1 mutation may derive clinical benefit from ivosidenib, an IDH1 inhibitor. Upon progression and with functional status permitting, alternative options include mTOR inhibitors (sirolimus, temsirolimus) or other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (dasatinib), though no clear sequencing data exists. For dedifferentiated CS, conventional chemotherapies with osteosarcoma-like regimens are upfront options although prospective data is limited with minimal overall benefit. Alternative treatment options include immunotherapy with pembrolizumab or ivosidenib in IDH1-mutant, dedifferentiated CS, but questionable efficacy was observed in small sample sizes with either approach. In mesenchymal CS, treatment with Ewing sarcoma-like chemotherapy regimens may be considered, although data supporting its use is even more limited given its rarity.

Abstract
Dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas are aggressive variants of chondrosarcoma, associated with poor outcomes. Tumor biphasism is the norm. The majority of these tumors are symptomatic at presentation. Radiologically, large soft tissue masses with bony destruction predominate. Treatment protocols of these tumors are not well defined. Surgical resection forms the standard of care for localized disease. (Neo)adjuvant therapies remain controversial as the results from multiple (mainly retrospective) studies remain conflicting. Age at presentation, stage and ability to obtain negative resection margins are important prognostic factors. The overall prognosis is dismal. Newer and novel therapies targeting the complex genetic makeup of these tumors have renewed interest in the adjuvant setting that could hold promise in the near future.

Abstract
The benefit of chemotherapy (CT) in rare bone sarcomas is not documented in prospective studies. Our retrospective study from the French sarcoma network for bone tumors ResOs was performed in adult patients (pts) from 1976 to 2014, with histologically verified diagnosis of leiomyosarcomas (LMS), undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) or radiation-associated sarcomas of bone. The median follow-up was 4.7 years (95% CI: 3.7-6.5). Clinical features, treatment modalities and outcomes were recorded and analyzed from 145 pts (median age 53 years [range 20-87]). Site of disease was extremities (66%) or axial skeleton (34%), 111 (77%) presented with localized and potentially resectable disease. The most common histological subtypes were UPS (58%) and LMS (33%); 58% were high-grade tumors. Surgery was performed in 127 pts. In the 111 localized pts, 28 pts (25%) underwent upfront surgery or exclusive radiotherapy (RT; >50 Gy) without CT, whereas 83 pts (75%) received either neoadjuvant (n = 26) or adjuvant CT (n = 13) or both (n = 44). Neoadjuvant and adjuvant CT was mostly doxorubicin-based (95%/86%) and cisplatin-based (67%/63%). R0 resection was achieved in 59 pts, and a good histological response in 15 patients (25%). Adjuvant RT was performed in 24 (22%) pts. For the whole cohort (n = 145), the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 53% [42; 62]. In univariate analysis, age ≤ 60 was associated with a longer disease-free survival (DFS) (P = .0436). Neoadjuvant and adjuvant CT tended to be associated with better DFS (P = .056) with no significant impact on OS in this retrospective series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, no standard treatments for primary bone sarcomas other than those for osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and chondrosarcoma have been developed. METHODS The clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of 330 patients with primary bone sarcomas other than osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and chondrosarcoma, listed in a nationwide tumour registry (Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Registry in Japan) were investigated. The effects of adjuvant chemotherapy were determined by comparing the outcomes of patients with non-metastatic bone tumours who received surgery plus chemotherapy with those of patients who underwent surgery alone. RESULTS The most common diagnosis was undifferentiated high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma. Axial site tumours (47.8%) and distant metastases at presentation (24.5%) were frequent. The 5-year overall and progression-free survival rates were 44.9 and 39.9%, respectively. Prognostic factor analysis identified surgery as an independent predictor of overall survival, and distant metastases at presentation was significant and independent predictor of both overall and progression-free survival. No significant difference in outcome was observed between patients treated with surgery alone and those treated with surgery plus chemotherapy (P = 0.71). CONCLUSIONS Patients with bone sarcomas other than osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and chondrosarcoma without metastasis at presentation have a relatively good prognosis with definitive surgery; however, the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy is unclear.

Abstract
Chondrosarcoma (CHS) is the second most common primary malignant bone sarcoma. Overall survival and prognosis of this tumor are various and often extreme, depending on histological grade and tumor subtype. CHS treatment is difficult, and surgery remains still the gold standard due to the resistance of this tumor to other therapeutic options. Considering the role of differentiation of CHS subtypes and the need to develop new treatment strategies, in this review, we introduced a multidisciplinary characterization of CHS from its pathology to therapies. We described the morphology of each subtype with the role of immunohistochemical markers in diagnostics of CHS. We also summarized the most frequently mutated genes and genome regions with altered pathways involved in the pathology of this tumor. Subsequently, we discussed imaging methods and the role of currently used therapies, including surgery and the limitations of chemo and radiotherapy. Finally, in this review, we presented novel targeted therapies, including those at ongoing clinical trials, which can be a potential future target in designing new therapeutics for patients with CHS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The role of chemotherapy for patients with dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DDCS) is still under discussion. Here, we present the outcome in patients with DDCS treated with intensive chemotherapy from the EUROpean Bone Over 40 Sarcoma Study. MATERIALS AND METHODS The chemotherapy regimen included doxorubicin, ifosfamide and cisplatin. Postoperative methotrexate was added in case of poor histological response. Toxicity was graded based on the National Cancer Institute expanded common toxicity criteria, version 2.0, and survival was analysed using Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank tests and univariate Cox regression models. RESULTS Fifty-seven patients with DDCS (localised, 34 [60%]; metastatic, 23 [40%]) aged 42-65 years were included. Surgical complete remission (SCR) was achieved in 36 (63%) patients. The median overall survival (OS) was 24 months (95% confidence interval, 22-25), and the 5-year OS was 39%. Patients with extremity localisation had a 5-year OS of 49% compared with 29% in patients with a central tumour (P = 0.08). Patients with localised disease had a 5-year OS of 46%, whereas patients with metastatic disease had a 5-year OS of 29% (P = 0.12). Patients in SCR had a 5-year OS of 49%, whereas patients not in SCR had a 5-year OS of 23% (P = 0.004). Chemotherapy toxicity was considerable but manageable. There was no treatment-related death, and 39 (70%) patients received ≥6 cycles of the planned nine chemotherapy cycles. CONCLUSIONS Adding intensive chemotherapy to surgery for treatment of DDCS is feasible and shows favourable survival data compared with previous reports. With the limitations of data from a non-controlled trial, we conclude that chemotherapy could be considered in the management of patients aged >40 years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Spinal chondrosarcomas are rare primary malignant neoplasms composed of cartilage-producing cells. They are slow-growing but locally aggressive lesions that have high rates of recurrence and progression after treatment. We provide the largest comprehensive analysis of prognostic factors, treatment modalities, and survival outcomes in patients with spinal chondrosarcoma using a large, prospectively collected national database. METHODS Patients with diagnosis codes specific for chondrosarcoma of the spine, sacrum, and coccyx were queried from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) during 2004-2016. Outcomes were investigated using Cox univariate and multivariate regression analyses, and survival curves were generated for comparative visualization. RESULTS A total of 1843 individuals were identified with a diagnosis of chondrosarcoma, 82.1% of which were at the sacrum or coccyx and 17.9% at the spine. The mean overall survival of patients in our cohort was 7.91 years. Increased age, larger tumor, dedifferentiated histology, and presence of metastases were associated with worsened overall survival. Regarding management, 77.7% of patients received surgical intervention and both partial and radical resection were associated with significantly improved overall survival (P < 0.001). Neither radiotherapy nor chemotherapy administration improved overall survival; however, among patients who received radiation, those who received higher-dose radiation had significantly improved overall survival compared with those who received lower-dose radiation. CONCLUSIONS Surgical resection significantly improves overall survival in patients with spinal chondrosarcoma. In those patients receiving radiation, those who receive high doses have improved overall survival compared with those who receive lower doses. Further studies into optimal radiation modality and doses are required.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the characteristics and oncologic outcomes of a single institution series of chondrosarcoma of pelvis and extremities in patients who were 21 years or younger. Between January 2006 and December 2016, we operated on 249 chondrosarcomas of the pelvis and extremities. Eleven (4%) of these were 21 years or younger. The mean age was 18 years (range 14-21 years). There were eight males and three females. Four occurred in the pelvis. The other sites were humerus (three) and one each in the scapula, clavicle, metatarsal and proximal femur. There were five primary chondrosarcomas and 6 (55%) secondary chondrosarcomas. After appropriate surgical excision, we had nine free margins and two margins were microscopically involved. None of the 11 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy. One patient never followed up after surgery and another was lost to follow-up after 32 months. Eight were alive and one had died. All survivors had minimum follow-up of 2 years (range 26-106 months). There was one local recurrence. The overall and disease-free survival at 5 years for all patients was 89 %. There was no statistically significant difference in survival for primary chondrosarcomas compared to secondary chondrosarcomas (P = 0.061), or pelvic chondrosarcomas compared to other sites (P = 0.264). Chondrosarcomas in children and adolescents constitute <5% of all chondrosarcomas. Secondary chondrosarcomas constituted more than half the cases. Overall, outcomes in the young were no different from those in adults.

Abstract
Chondrosarcomas are the most common malignant tumors of the cartilage, are seen predominantly in adults, and have varied clinical behavior. The majority of them affect the medullary canal of long bones and pelvic bones. The prognosis of chondrosarcoma is closely related to histological grading; however, the grading is subject to interobserver variability. Conventional chondrosarcomas are overall considered to be chemotherapy- and radiation-resistant, resulting in limited treatment options. The majority of advanced conventional chondrosarcomas are treated with chemotherapy without any survival benefit. Recent studies have evaluated molecular genetic findings which have improved the understanding of chondrosarcoma biology. Newer therapeutic targets are desperately needed. In this review article, we explore ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel ways of treating advanced conventional chondrosarcoma.

Abstract
Chondrosarcomas in children and adolescents are uncommon and constitute < 5% of all chondrosarcomas. There are very few studies discussing extremity chondrosarcomas in young patients. The pelvis is the most common site, followed by the proximal femur. As cartilaginous tumours can be quite challenging to diagnose, it is best for these lesions to be discussed in a multidisciplinary meeting which includes a radiologist and a pathologist specializing in bone tumours. Treatment principles are similar to those in adults, with adequate surgical excision respecting oncologic principles being the mainstay of treatment. Select extremity Grade I chondrosarcomas may be managed with extended intralesional curettage without increasing the risk for local recurrence or metastatic disease, but case selection is critical and should be based on clinical, imaging and histological characteristics. Chondrosarcomas are resistant to chemotherapy and relatively radioresistant. For mesenchymal chondrosarcomas, there may be a role for chemotherapy, though data on this is limited. Prognosis and rate of recurrence correlate directly to the adequacy of the surgical resection. Chondrosarcomas in younger patients behave in a similar fashion to those in adults, and outcomes in the young are no different from those in adults.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS), chondrosarcoma, and chordoma are characterized by multiple challenges to the investigator, clinician, and patient. One consequence of their rarity among sarcomas, as well as their biologic and clinical heterogeneity, is that management guidelines are inadequate to inform the range of individual patient-treatment decisions from diagnosis, approaches to surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, treatment of recurrence, palliative care, and quality of survivorship. Of high-grade sarcomas, OSs are among the most curable, with more than two-thirds of patients with localized disease likely to achieve long-term survival. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy comprising cisplatin, doxorubicin, and methotrexate with intercalated surgery is the standard of care for resectable OS in those younger than 40 years. Outcomes for OS presenting with unresectable metastases or recurrent disease, or in those older than 40 years are generally poor. Overall results have improved little for all patients with OS, and new treatments are needed. Surgical resection remains the cornerstone of management for chondrosarcoma and chordoma. However, the application of new biologic insights to therapeutic development indicates that improved treatments may soon be routine for patients with chondrosarcoma and chordoma for whom surgery alone is inadequate. For all these uncommon diseases, patients should be offered specialist expert care delivered by experienced multidisciplinary teams in high-volume centers.

Abstract
RATIONALE Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a malignant sarcoma that can occur in different anatomic sites, including the bone, showing similar histological characteristics but heterogeneous clinical behavior and prognosis. Primary bone LMS was first described in 1965. It is a very rare sarcoma, accounting for <0.7% of all primary malignant bone tumors. PATIENT CONCERNS We report the case of a 52-year-old male with primary bone LMS who presented with a solitary osteolytic lesion with focal cortical destruction in the left clavicle, seen on an x-ray and subsequent computed tomography (CT) scan. DIAGNOSIS The multidisciplinary Osteoncology team of our institute planned a biopsy that revealed the presence of spindle and pleomorphic cells with a positive reaction for smooth muscle actin and desmin at immunohistochemical analysis, without the presence of cartilage or bone matrix. These results were consistent with a high-grade malignant LMS arising from the bone. INTERVENTIONS Complete surgical resection of the tumor was performed and a decision was made with the patient not to proceed with adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy. OUTCOMES After more than 1 year of surgery, the patient is well, with no evidence of recurrent or metastatic disease. Follow-up is ongoing. LESSONS Little is known about the biology and clinical behavior of bone LMS due to its extreme rarity. A multidisciplinary team in a specialized center is needed for the optimal management of the disease. Surgery with a curative intent is the cornerstone of treatment of localized disease. No data are available about chemotherapy in neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or advanced settings. Further research is needed to identify more effective therapies.

Abstract
Conventional skeletal chondrosarcoma is a bone neoplasm, which is poorly sensitive to anthracyclines-based chemotherapy. We report on an 18-month-long tumour response to gemcitabine as single agent in a young patient with an advanced secondary peripheral conventional chondrosarcoma, previously treated unsuccessfully with anthracyclines, ifosfamide, platinum, etoposide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The majority of patients with chondrosarcoma of bone have an excellent overall survival after local therapy. However, in case of unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease the outcome is poor and limited treatment options exist. Therefore we conducted a survey of clinical phase I or II trials and retrospective studies that described systemic therapy for chondrosarcoma patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using PubMed, clinicaltrials.gov, the Cochrane controlled trial register and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) abstracts a literature survey was conducted. From the identified items, data were collected by a systematic analysis. We limited our search to semi-recent studies published between 2000 and 2013 to include modern drugs, imaging techniques and disease evaluations. RESULTS A total of 31 studies were found which met the criteria: 9 phase I trials, 11 phase II and 8 retrospective studies. In these studies 855 chondrosarcoma patients were reported. The tested drugs were mostly non-cytotoxic, either alone or in combination with another non-cytotoxic agent or chemotherapy. Currently two phase I trials, one phase IB/II trial and three phase II trials are enrolling chondrosarcoma patients. CONCLUSION Because chondrosarcoma of bone is an orphan disease it is difficult to conduct clinical trials. The meagre outcome data for locally advanced or metastatic patients indicate that new treatment options are needed. For the phase I trials it is difficult to draw conclusions because of the low numbers of chondrosarcoma patients enrolled, and at different dose levels. Some phase II trials show promising results which support further research. Retrospective studies are encouraged as they could add to the limited data available. Efforts to increase the number of studies for this orphan disease are urgently needed.

Abstract
Laryngeal carcinoma is a common malignant neoplasm occurring in the head and neck, threatening human health. Protein casein kinase 2-alpha (CK2α) has been indicated to participate in the pathogenesis of this cancer; however, the underlying mechanisms still need to be elucidated. In this study, short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) technology was utilized to inhibit the CK2α expression in HEp-2 laryngeal carcinoma cells. Results showed that both mRNA and protein expression levels of endogenous CK2α were markedly decreased in HEp-2 cells transfected with CK2α specific shRNA. Transwell assays revealed that stable knockdown of CK2α significantly inhibited the migration and invasion of HEp-2 cells. As compared with cells treated with negative control shRNA, epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin) expression was increased, but snail, slug and vimentin were decreased in cells transfected with CK2α shRNA, indicating that inhibition of CK2α expression may suppress the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process of laryngeal carcinoma in vitro. Moreover, suppression of CK2α was found to enhance the apoptosis induced by cisplatin in laryngeal carcinoma cells, probably through inhibition of permeability glycoprotein (P-glycoprotein) and multidrug-resistance protein (MRP1). In conclusion, our study may provide a promising therapeutic strategy for human laryngeal carcinoma by targeting CK2α.

Abstract
Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the kidney is a very rare entity with no definite treatment protocol. Herein, we describe one such case with discussion of its diagnosis and management. The patient had a well circumscribed mass in right kidney extending into the inferior vena cava and metastasis to both the lungs. Right nephrectomy was performed and the histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis to be renal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. After surgical removal of the tumor, the patient was given chemotherapy with Cisplatin and Epirubicin, following which there was significant regression of lung nodules.

Abstract
Extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is rare and metastasis to the pancreas is extremely rare, with only four cases reported in the literature. The therapeutic effectiveness of chemotherapy remains uncertain. We report a 39-year-old man with extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the buttock, who had metastases to the pancreas, bones, and lung. He underwent distal pancreatectomy, resection of the buttock tumor, and chemotherapy. He had a good response to chemotherapy and survived for about 3 years after surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To review the experience in transarterial neoadjuvant chemotherapy of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) in soft tissue and to analyze the factors related to prognosis of MFH in soft tissue. METHODS Between September 1999 and December 2011, 101 cases of MFH in soft tissue patients treated by transarterial administration of Cisplatin, Adriamycin and Norcantharidin were divided into primary group and recurrent group, and the clinical documents were reviewed. Nine factors that might affect prognosis such as age, sex, tumor size, tumor site, tumor infiltration depth, recurrence if any, pathological type, histologic grade and histologic response of chemotherapy were analyzed statistically. RESULTS The 5-year relapse-free survival rate and the overall survival rate were 70.5 and 75.0 %, respectively, in the primary group; 56.1 and 57.9 %, respectively, in the recurrent group. Univariate analysis (log-rank test) showed that the factors affecting the prognosis were age (P = 0.03), tumor size (P = 0.01), pelvic tumor (P = 0.02), recurrence if any (P = 0.004), histologic grade (P = 0.01), and histologic response to chemotherapy (P = 0.007). Multivariate analysis showed that the major factors affecting prognosis were pelvic tumor (P = 0.01), tumor size (P = 0.002), histologic grade (P = 0.002), recurrence if any (P = 0.0004), and histologic response to chemotherapy (P = 0.008). CONCLUSION Transarterial neoadjuvant chemotherapy can significantly increase the curative efficacy of chemotherapy and survival rate in MFH treatment.

Abstract
Chondrosarcomas are malignant bone tumors with pure hyaline cartilage differentiation; myxoid changes, calcification, or ossification may be present. Several subtypes of chondrosarcomas exist. Behavior patterns vary, ranging from slow-growing nonmetastasizing lesions to aggressive metastasizing sarcomas. Symptoms are usually mild, with duration ranging from several months to years, and usually consist of persistent, dull, aching pain or palpable masses. Radiographic findings include bone expansion with cortical thickening, radiolucent areas with variably distributed punctate or ring-like matrix calcifications, cortical erosion or destruction, endosteal scalloping, and scant or absent periosteal reaction; extension into the soft tissue may be present. Histological differential diagnosis from benign cartilaginous lesions can be achieved by increased cellularity, enlarged plump nuclei, binucleated cells, hyperchromatic nuclear pleomorphism, and permeation of cortical or medullary bone. Atypia is usually mild to moderate; necrosis and mitoses can be seen, particularly in high-grade lesions. Adequate surgery is the mainstay of treatment. High-grade and pelvic chondrosarcomas are best managed with wide resection. Because of the low metastatic potential and low local recurrence rate noted with intralesional surgery, low-grade chondrosarcomas can be treated with curettage (with or without treatment of the defect cavity) with a local adjuvant, such as phenol or cryotherapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy may be considered for mesenchymal and dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas. Radiation therapy can be considered after incomplete resection or if resection is not feasible or would cause unacceptable morbidity.

Abstract
To our knowledge there are no reports of a primary multifocal spindle cell sarcoma affecting both long bones of the lower limb in an elderly patient. An 83-year-old man presented with a progressively painful right ankle, without a history of trauma. Radiographs demonstrated a pathological fracture through a mixed lytic and sclerotic lesion in the distal tibia. Staging investigations, including bone scintigraphy and magnetic resonance imaging, revealed a second lytic lesion in the right distal femur. A provisional diagnosis of metastatic disease was favoured and intramedullary nailing was considered. However, computed tomography of the chest, abdomen and pelvis, and relevant blood tests revealed no evidence of a primary malignancy. Open biopsy of the tibial lesion showed high-grade pleomorphic spindle cells consistent with a primary bone sarcoma. The patient was treated successfully with a right trans-femoral amputation. In conclusion, we recommend early bone biopsy to allow accurate diagnosis and appropriate skeletal management in elderly patients.

Abstract
The most prevalent forms of bone cancer are osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing’s sarcoma. Although chemotherapy and radiotherapy have replaced traditional surgical treatments, survival rates have undergone only marginal improvements. Current knowledge of the molecular pathways involved in each type of cancer has led to better approaches in cancer treatment. A number of cell signaling molecules are involved in tumorigenesis, and specific targets have been identified based on these signal transducers. This review highlights some of the important cellular pathways and potential therapeutic targets, tumor site-specific irradiation techniques, and novel drug delivery systems used to administer these drugs.

Abstract
We aimed to identify the incidence, outcome and prognostic factors associated with spindle cell sarcomas of bone (SCSB). We studied 196 patients with a primary non-metastatic tumour treated with the intent to cure. The results were compared with those of osteosarcoma patients treated at our hospital during the same period. The overall incidence of SCSB was 7.8% of all patients with a primary bone sarcoma. The five- and ten-year survival rates were 67.0% and 60.0%, respectively, which were better than those of patients with osteosarcoma treated over the same period. All histological subtypes had similar outcomes. On univariate analysis, factors that were significantly associated with decreased survival were age > 40 years, size > 8 cm, the presence of a pathological fracture, amputation, involved margins and a poor response to pre-operative chemotherapy. Multivariate analyses showed that age > 65 years, amputation and involved margins were all statistically significant prognostic factors. Involved margins and poor response to pre-operative chemotherapy were associated with an increased risk of local recurrence. SCSB has a better prognosis than osteosarcoma when matched for age. Most prognostic factors for osteosarcoma also seem to apply to SCSB. Patients with SCSB should be treated in the same way as patients of the same age with osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Dedifferentiated peripheral chondrosarcoma is a rare subtype of chondrosarcoma arising superimposed on the cartilage cap of a preexisting osteochondroma. It consists of two clearly defined components, a low-grade malignant, well-differentiated cartilage component and a high-grade non-cartilaginous sarcoma. Signaling pathways having a role in normal cartilage development were analyzed in these tumors, and compared with available data of other cartilaginous tumors. Sixteen well-characterized dedifferentiated peripheral chondrosarcomas were immunohistochemically analyzed for parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHLH)-BCL-2, fibroblastic growth factor (FGF), and transforming growth factor-beta signaling molecules, as well as matrix molecules and p53, comparing the chondrogenic component of dedifferentiated peripheral chondrosarcomas with the anaplastic component and with previously published data obtained from conventional grade I and II secondary peripheral chondrosarcomas. Results were correlated with clinical outcome. In the anaplastic component, various lines of differentiation could be found (collagen I (6/16), CD31 (1/16), smooth muscle actin (12/16), muscle-specific actin (12/16) and desmin (2/9)). Compared with the anaplastic component, the chondrogenic component of dedifferentiated peripheral chondrosarcomas shows more often expression of cyclin D1 (P=0.05), p53 (P=0.008), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) (P=0.005), and CD44 (P=0.030). Compared with secondary peripheral chondrosarcomas, more samples were positive in the chondrogenic component of dedifferentiated peripheral chondrosarcomas for FGF signaling (FGF receptor 3 P=0.000; bFGF P=0.003) and CD44 (P=0.000). Lower expression of BCL-2 (P=0.025) and absence of CD44v3 (P=0.000), a splice variant of CD44, was observed in the chondrogenic component of dedifferentiated peripheral chondrosarcomas compared with secondary peripheral chondrosarcomas. With regard to clinical data, PAI-1 expression in the chondrogenic component of dedifferentiated peripheral chondrosarcomas correlated with better survival (P=0.019). In conclusion, in the chondrogenic component of dedifferentiated peripheral chondrosarcomas, FGF signaling pathway is active, whereas PTHLH signaling seems to be low/downregulated. Interestingly, although the chondrogenic component of dedifferentiated peripheral chondrosarcoma is CD44+/CD44v3-, secondary peripheral chondrosarcomas is CD44-/CD44v3+, which suggest different splicing (preference). The prognostic value of PAI-1 in dedifferentiated peripheral chondrosarcomas might also be of interest for the more common dedifferentiated central chondrosarcomas.

Abstract
This review provides an overview of the histopathology, classification, diagnostic procedures, and therapy of skeletal chondrosarcoma. Chondrosarcomas that arise de novo are primary chondrosarcomas, whereas chondrosarcomas developing superimposed on pre-existing benign cartilage neoplasms such as enchondromas or osteochondromas are referred to as secondary chondrosarcomas. Conventional chondrosarcomas can be categorized according to their location in bone into central, peripheral, and juxtacortical chondrosarcomas. Histological grading is related to prognosis; however, it is also subject to interobserver variability. Rare subtypes of chondrosarcoma, including dedifferentiated, mesenchymal, and clear cell chondrosarcoma, are discussed as well. Magnetic resonance imaging is necessary to delineate the extent of the intraosseous and soft tissue involvement preoperatively. Computed tomography is especially recommended in the pelvis and other flat bones where it may be difficult to discern the pattern of bone destruction and the presence of matrix mineralization. Wide, en-bloc excision is the preferred surgical treatment in intermediate- and high-grade chondrosarcoma. In low-grade chondrosarcoma confined to the bone, extensive intralesional curettage followed by local adjuvant treatment and filling the cavity with bone graft has promising long-term clinical results and satisfactory local control. Chondrosarcomas are relatively radiotherapy resistant; therefore, doses >60 Gy are needed in attempts to achieve local control after incomplete resection. Irradiation with protons or other charged particles seems beneficial in this curative situation. Chemotherapy is only possibly effective in mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, and is of uncertain value in dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma. Potential new systemic treatment targets are being discussed.

Abstract
Sarcomas comprise a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal neoplasms. They can be grouped into 2 general categories, soft tissue sarcoma and primary bone sarcoma, which have different staging and treatment approaches. This review includes a discussion of both soft tissue sarcomas (malignant fibrous histiocytoma, liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, angiosarcoma, Kaposi sarcoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, aggressive fibromatosis or desmoid tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, and primary alveolar soft-part sarcoma) and primary bone sarcomas (osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, giant cell tumor, and chondrosarcoma). The 3 most important prognostic variables are grade, size, and location of the primary tumor. The approach to a patient with a sarcoma begins with a biopsy that obtains adequate tissue for diagnosis without interfering with subsequent optimal definitive surgery. Subsequent treatment depends on the specific type of sarcoma. Because sarcomas are relatively uncommon yet comprise a wide variety of different entities, evaluation by oncology teams who have expertise in the field is recommended. Treatment and follow-up guidelines have been published by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (www.nccn.org).
