Carsote M, Terzea D, Vasilescu F, Cucu AP, Ciuche A, Nistor C. Sternum Metastases: From Case-Identifying Strategy to Multidisciplinary Management. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:2698. [PMID: 37627957 PMCID: PMC10453928 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13162698] [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: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
We aimed to overview the most recent data on sternal metastases from a multidisciplinary approach (diagnosis strategies, outcome, and histological reports). This narrative review based on a PubMed search (between January 2020 and 22 July 2023) using key words such as "sternal", "manubrium", and "metastasis" within the title and/or abstract only included original papers that specifically addressed secondary sternal spreading of cancer in adults, for a total of 48 original articles (14 studies and 34 single case reports). A prior unpublished case in point is also introduced (percutaneous incisional biopsy was used to address a 10 cm sternal tumour upon first admission on an apparently healthy male). The studies (n = 14) may be classified into one of three groups: studies addressing the incidence of bone metastases (including sternum) amid different primary cancers, such as prostate cancer (N = 122 with bone metastases, 83% of them with chest wall metastases), head and neck cancers (N = 3620, 0.8% with bone metastases, and 10.34% of this subgroup with sternum involvement); and glioblastoma (N = 92 with bone metastases, 37% of them with non-vertebral metastases, including the sternum); assessment cohorts, including breast cancer (N = 410; accuracy and sensitivity of PET/CT vs. bone scintigraphy is superior with concern to sternum spreading) and bone metastases of unknown origin (N = 83, including a subgroup with sternum metastases; some features of PET/CT help the differentiation with multiple myeloma); and cohorts with various therapeutic approaches, such as palliative arterial embolization (N = 10), thymic neuroendocrine neoplasia (1/5 detected with sternum metastases), survival rates for sternum metastases vs. non-sternum chest wall involvement (N = 87), oligo-metastatic (sternal) breast cancer (3 studies, N = 16 for all of them), oligo-metastatic head and neck cancer (N = 81), conformal radiotherapy (N = 24,215, including an analysis on sternum spreading), and EBRT followed by MR-HIFU (N = 6). Core data coming from the isolated case reports (N = 34) showed a female to male ratio of 1.6; the females' ages were between 34 and 80 (mean of 57.28) and the males' ages varied between 33 and 79 (average of 58.78) years. The originating tumour profile revealed that the most frequent types were mammary (N = 8, all females) and thyroid (N = 9, both women and men), followed by bladder (N = 3), lung (N = 2), and kidney (N = 2). There was also one case for each of the following: adenoid cystic carcinoma of the jaw, malignant melanoma, caecum MiNEN, a brain and an extracranial meningioma, tongue carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, osteosarcoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the most complex and the largest analysis of prior published data within the time frame of our methods. These data open up new perspectives of this intricate, dynamic, and challenging domain of sternum metastases. Awareness is a mandatory factor since the patients may have a complex multidisciplinary medical and/or surgical background or they are admitted for the first time with this condition; thus, the convolute puzzle will start from this newly detected sternal lump. Abbreviations: N = number of patients; n = number of studies; PET/CT = positron emission tomography/computed tomography; EVRT = external beam radiotherapy; MR-HIFU = magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound; MiNEN = mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine tumour.

Abstract
The use of medical 3D printing has expanded dramatically for breast diseases. A writing group composed of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Special Interest Group on 3D Printing (SIG) provides updated appropriateness criteria for breast 3D printing in various clinical scenarios. Evidence-based appropriateness criteria are provided for the following clinical scenarios: benign breast lesions and high-risk breast lesions, breast cancer, breast reconstruction, and breast radiation (treatment planning and radiation delivery).

Additive Manufacturing of Resected Oral and Oropharyngeal Tissue: A Pilot Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18030911. [PMID: 33494422 PMCID: PMC7908081 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18030911] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2020] [Revised: 01/16/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Better visualization of tumor structure and orientation are needed in the postoperative setting. We aimed to assess the feasibility of a system in which oral and oropharyngeal tumors are resected, photographed, 3D modeled, and printed using additive manufacturing techniques. Three patients diagnosed with oral/oropharyngeal cancer were included. All patients underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging followed by resection. In the operating room (OR), the resected tissue block was photographed using a smartphone. Digital photos were imported into Agisoft Photoscan to produce a digital 3D model of the resected tissue. Physical models were then printed using binder jetting techniques. The aforementioned process was applied in pilot cases including carcinomas of the tongue and larynx. The number of photographs taken for each case ranged from 63 to 195. The printing time for the physical models ranged from 2 to 9 h, costs ranging from 25 to 141 EUR (28 to 161 USD). Digital photography may be used to additively manufacture models of resected oral/oropharyngeal tumors in an easy, accessible and efficient fashion. The model may be used in interdisciplinary discussion regarding postoperative care to improve understanding and collaboration, but further investigation in prospective studies is required.
