Background: In unresectable dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), no clear guideline exists regarding the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) versus radiotherapy. This study reviews current literature regarding TKI and radiotherapy in unresectable DFSP.
Methods: Following PROSPERO registration (CRD42021232508), a systematic literature search was performed including all studies reporting clinical results of TKI and/or radiotherapy in the treatment of unresectable DFSP.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether prescription practices for opioids in pediatric patients are influenced by factors such as age, gender, race, or language.
- It analyzes data from 331 patients under 18 who underwent surgery for limb fractures between 2010 and 2019, looking specifically at the amount of opiates prescribed at discharge.
- The research aims to determine if there are disparities in opioid prescriptions and if prescribing habits have changed over the decade in a pediatric orthopaedic context.
