AI Article Synopsis

  • The study examines the correlation between prognostic factors and overall survival rates in Ewing's sarcoma patients, based on data from 65 cases in Hungary (1988-1999).
  • The average time from initial symptoms to diagnosis was found to be between 2 to 16 months, with an event-free survival rate of 0.39 for non-metastatic patients and 0.24 for those with metastasis.
  • Results indicate that there is a moderate discrepancy in event-free survival rates between Hungarian patients and international figures, attributed mainly to delayed diagnosis.

Article Abstract

Correlation between different prognostic factors and the overall survival of Ewing's sarcoma patients has been investigted. In this study data have been selected from the databank of Hungarian Pediatric Oncologist Section (1988-1999) (n=65). Whenever it was possible statistical analysis has been performed. Results: In our patients time interval from the primary symptoms to the diagnosis was 2-16 months. The average event-free survival in patients suffering from Ewing's sarcoma without metastasis is 0.39. Meanwhile, this value in patients with pulmonary or other metatasis is 0.24 (Kaplan-Meier analysis). Conclusion: Our results show a moderate difference between the Hungarian and the international event-free survival. Late detection is one of the answers of this discrepancy.

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer, occurring frequently in children and young adults. Patients are treated with surgery and multi-agent chemotherapy, and despite the introduction of mifamurtide in 2011, there has been little improvement in survival for decades. 3-dimensional models offer the potential to understand the complexity of the osteosarcoma tumor microenvironment and aid in developing new treatment approaches.

Aim: We report a case of proliferative myositis (PM) of the breast, which is the second reported in the English literature.

Case Presentation: A 49-year-old woman underwent surgery due to a fibroadenoma in the right and phyllodes tumor in the left breast. One month after these surgeries, a right breast mass rapidly grew at the surgical site, and biopsy did not provide a diagnosis.

Background: Accurate identification of pathologic grade before operation is helpful for guiding clinical treatment decisions and improving the prognosis for soft tissue sarcoma (STS).

Purpose: To construct and assess a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics nomogram incorporating intratumoral habitats (subregions of clusters of voxels containing similar features) and peritumoral features for the preoperative prediction of the pathological grade of STS.

Methods: The MRI data of 145 patients with STS (74 low-grade and 71 high-grade) from 4 hospitals were retrospectively collected, including enhanced T1-weighted and fat-suppressed-T2-weighted sequences.

Background: Osteosarcoma (OS), the most prevalent primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents, arises from bone-forming mesenchymal cells. Despite advancements in surgical resection and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (cisplatin, doxorubicin, and methotrexate), chemotherapy resistance remains a significant challenge, leading to poor survival rates in patients with metastatic or recurrent OS.

Methods: In this study, we focused on the role of OTULIN, a key linear deubiquitinating enzyme, in OS chemoresistance.
