Pediatric Bone Tumors: Location and Age Distribution of 420 Cases.

Background/objectives: One of the most important diagnostic tools in bone tumors is X-rays. Preliminary and, in the case of some benign lesions, definitive diagnoses are formed using this basic tool. Part of the decision making in this stage is based on statistical probability using the patient's age, as well as the incidence and predilection sites of different entities.

Chondrosarcoma of the Pelvis and Extremities: A Review of 77 Cases of a Tertiary Sarcoma Center with a Minimum Follow-Up of 10 Years.

Background: Chondrosarcomas (CS) are a rare and heterogenic group of primary malignant bone tumors. In the literature, data on prognostic factors in chondrosarcomas are scarce, and most studies are limited by a short follow-up. The aim of this retrospective study was therefore to determine factors associated with the survival and local recurrence of chondrosarcomas and to compare the results with previous studies.

Childhood Tumors around the Knee Revisited: Predilection Sites for Most Entities Confirmed.

The diagnostic work-up of musculoskeletal tumors is a multifactorial process. During the early phase, differential diagnoses are made using basic radiological imaging. In this phase, part of the decision making is based on the patient's age, as well as the incidence and predilection sites of different entities.

C-Reactive Protein Pretreatment-Level Evaluation with Histopathological Correlation for Chondrosarcoma Prognosis Assessment-A 15-Year Retrospective Single-Center Study.

Background: An aberrant cellular microenvironment characterized by pathological cells or inflammation represents an added risk factor across various cancer types. While the significance of chronic inflammation in the development of most diffuse tumors has been extensively studied, an exception to this analysis exists in the context of chondrosarcomas. Chondrosarcomas account for 20-30% of all bone sarcomas, with an estimated global incidence of 1 in 100,000.

Recommender-based bone tumour classification with radiographs-a link to the past.

Objectives: To develop an algorithm to link undiagnosed patients to previous patient histories based on radiographs, and simultaneous classification of multiple bone tumours to enable early and specific diagnosis.

Materials And Methods: For this retrospective study, data from 2000 to 2021 were curated from our database by two orthopaedic surgeons, a radiologist and a data scientist. Patients with complete clinical and pre-therapy radiographic data were eligible.
