Metastatic and primary bone tumors are malignant tumors affecting the skeleton. Although the prognosis of patients with these tumors has improved with the development of effective chemotherapy, the challenges of local recurrence, subsequent osteolysis, degradation of bone strength and unresectable tumors persist. Local control of these tumors is therefore a key strategy to address these limitat...

Bone metastases are rare in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and data on the clinicopathological profiles are lacking. The purpose of this report was to identify the clinicopathological profiles of this rare clinical setting by evaluating 23 cases, four of which were our own and the additional 19 were from the relevant English literature. In 18 cases, the primary GISTs occurred in sites ...

BACKGROUND The current application of limb salvage process has some unsolved problems, such as prosthesis loosening, which severely limits the function of the preserved limbs. Innovative approaches are needed to further improve functional outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Instead of en-bloc resection of tumor-bearing bone, it is dissected from the surrounding normal tissues, followed by devitaliz...

From March 1984 to April 1991, the Orthopaedics Department of the Clínica Universitaria de Navarra treated 47 cases of malignant bone tumors in young children by limb-salvage surgery. Mean follow-up time was 4.4 years. The histologic diagnoses were osteosarcoma (33 cases) and Ewing's sarcoma (14 cases). All patients were treated following the Cancer Protocol of the Clínica Universitaria de Nava...

Amputation, once the mainstay of treatment of malignant bone tumors, now is used selectively and infrequently. Most patients are candidates for limb-sparing procedures because of effective chemotherapeutic agents and regimens, improved imaging modalities, and advances in reconstructive surgery. Patient age as well as tumor location and extent of disease help define the most appropriate surgical...

Background: A considerable percentage of primary or secondary malignancy developed from pelvis. The current widely used surgical treatment is en blot resection of tumor-bearing bone followed by reconstruction. The high rate of complication and mechanical instability often contribute to poor results. Given the poor prognosis and high mobility for pelvic malignancy, some authors think that consid...
