Background: Limited epidemiological research has focused on translocations in soft tissue sarcomas, with no studies on bone sarcomas. This study aimed to clarify the epidemiology, prognosis, and genetic information of translocation-related sarcoma (TRS) and non-TRS patients.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Registry in Japan (BSTTRJ) (2001-2019), the Kyushu University Hospital (KUH) repository (2001-2021), and a publicly available online dataset (MSK).
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic negatively affected the diagnosis and treatment of several cancer types. However, this pandemic's exact impact and extent on bone and soft tissue sarcomas need to be clarified. We aimed to investigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and emergency declaration by the local government on consultation behavior and clinical stage at diagnosis of bone and soft tissue sarcoma.

In this study, we investigated the risk factors for SSI after resection of musculoskeletal tumours of the trunk.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included 125 patients (72 males, 53 females) with musculoskeletal tumours of the trunk in our hospital from 1 April 2008 to 31 August 2023.
