Single-Stage Free Flap Reconstruction Following Extremity Sarcoma Resection: a Regional Cancer Center Experience.

Surgery remains mainstay modality of treatment of STS of extremity. In majority of patients, primary closure is possible following surgical resection of the tumor. Primary closure of wound may not be feasible in tumors with large area of skin involvement and sometimes following a whoops procedure.

Rare Case of Extracranial Metastases in a Patient with IDH-Mutant Glioblastoma.

Rishan Thimma SudarsanGlioblastoma are known for its aggressive intracranial course of disease, where the overall survival is less than 18 months. Of late, the World Health Organization has reclassified and renamed secondary glioblastomas as isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant grade 4 astrocytomas, which is relatively better than its IDH wild-type counterpart; however, overall survival remains poor. In such tumors, metastases outside the craniospinal neuraxis is very rare, and does sometimes present with symptoms which create a diagnostic dilemma and arriving at such diagnosis is still challenging even for the best of the clinicians worldwide.

Outcomes of Vascular Resection and Reconstruction in Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcoma and Bone Tumors.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate and analyze the feasibility and the oncological and functional outcomes of limb salvage surgery in extremity soft tissue sarcomas (ESTS) and bone tumors invading vessels.

Materials And Methods: This single-center retrospective analysis included patients with ESTS encasing or invading major blood vessels that were treated by limb salvage surgery with vascular resection and reconstruction between January 1995 and December 2019. Patients with contiguous involvement of major blood vessels and nerves and patients requiring amputation were excluded from the study.

Pulmonary metastasectomy in primary extremity osteosarcoma: Choosing wisely, along with a brief review of literature.

Background: Despite the advances in systemic treatment, about 30%-40% of the patients with extremity osteosarcomas relapse and more than 80% of these relapses localize in the lungs. Our understanding of the management of pulmonary metastases from extremity osteosarcomas is largely based on retrospective data from single institutions or compiled from registries; hence, there is great degree of variability in the reported management of pulmonary metastasis in patients with osteosarcomas.

Aims And Objectives: To analyze the demographic profile, disease characteristics and survival outcomes of patients who had undergone potentially curative pulmonary metastasectomies from extremity osteosarcomas.

The Challenge in the Management of Extremity Fibromatoses: Our Experience.

Desmoid tumours are known for their varied clinical behaviour. Hence, choosing an ideal treatment protocol remains challenging. This is further complicated by the rarity of these neoplasms and high recurrence rates following treatment.

Reconstruction of the elbow and forearm for Ewing sarcoma of ulna: A new biological technique.

Primary bone tumors around the elbow represent <1% of all the skeletal tumors. Surgery with or without adjuvant therapy (radiotherapy, chemotherapy) is the treatment of choice for malignant tumors. Reconstruction of the elbow and forearm in malignant tumors is challenging as it involves a complex interplay between multiple joints which need to be stabilized for the optimal functional outcome.
