Importance: Serum tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), and cancer antigen 125 (CA125) have been useful in the management of gastrointestinal and gynecological cancers; however, there is limited information regarding their utility in patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma.
Objective: To assess the association of serum tumor markers (CEA, CA19-9, and CA125) with clinical outcomes and pathologic and molecular features in patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This is a retrospective cohort study at a single tertiary care comprehensive cancer center.

Background: The Reconstructive Allograft Preparation by Toronto Sarcoma (RAPTORS) protocol is reliable and reproducible without substantially adding to the surgical reconstruction time or cost. Our technique includes clearance of debris, lavage of the medullary canal, pressurized filling of the medullary canal with antibiotic-laden cement for its mechanical and antimicrobial properties, and insertion of cancellous autograft at the allograft-host junctional ends prior to dual-plate compression to fix the allograft into the defect. Our experience with large intercalary allograft reconstruction has demonstrated high rates of long-term success and addresses the most common causes of large allograft failure (infection, fracture, and nonunion), as shown in our long-term outcome study.

We report a case of rare and aggressive ovarian carcinosarcoma with a germline pathogenic BRCA2 variant. A patient with a history of breast cancer who developed an inflammatory ovarian tumor with peritonitis carcinomatosis involving the appendix suffered from cachexia. Following three cycles of weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy, emergency surgery was required owing to sepsis.

Purpose: The purpose of these recommendations is to spread the available evidence for evaluating and managing spinal tumours among clinicians who encounter such entities.
Methods: The recommendations were developed by members of the Development Recommendations Group representing seven stakeholder scientific societies and organizations of specialists involved in various forms of care for patients with spinal tumours in Poland. The recommendations are based on data yielded from systematic reviews of the literature identified through electronic database searches.
