Pediatric bone and soft-tissue sarcomas
In this session I will review the clinical and imaging features of the most common pediatric bone and soft tissue sarcomas and several benign lesions that may mimic them. These malignancies often have unique features that can help narrow the differential diagnosis. The material will be presented in an informal manner and audience participation is encouraged. A review of the appropriate diagnost...
متن کاملRole of extracorporeal irradiation in malignant bone tumors.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal irradiation (ECI) is relatively a rare method used in the management of malignant bone tumors (MBT). It consists of en-bloc removal of the tumor bearing bone segment, removal of the tumor from the bone, irradiation, and re-implantation back in the body. We report our preliminary experience of using ECI for management of MBT. MATERIALS AND METHODS From year 2...
متن کاملPediatric nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas.
The nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas (NRSTSs) are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal cell neoplasms that account for about 4% of childhood cancers. Because each histologic subtype of NRSTS is rare, they have been poorly studied and little is known about their biology, natural history, or optimal treatment. Data from adults with soft tissue sarcomas provide some helpful insight, but ad...
متن کاملCancer Stem Cells in Pediatric Sarcomas
Sarcomas represent a clinically and biologically diverse group of malignant connective tissue tumors. Despite aggressive conventional therapy, a large proportion of sarcoma patients experience disease recurrence which will ultimately result in mortality. The presence of a unique population of cells, referred to as cancer stem cells (CSCs), have been proposed to be responsible for refractory res...
