Objective: To observe the clinical effect of repairing bone defectin post-operation benign tumor with coralline hydroxyapatite(CHAP).
Methods: The natural coralline was treated into coralline hydroxyapatite by "hydrothermal exchanging" at specific condition. The CHAP was implanted into the lesion after bone tumor curettage to 25 patients. The sizes of bone defect ranged from 0.8 cm x 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm to 10 cm x 3.5 cm x 2 cm.
Results: All patients had no abnormal local or systemic reactions. X-ray showed that there was osteogenesis at the cortical bone 1 month post-operation. The density of CHAP gradually reduced from 3 months. The clinical healing time was 4 months. The CHAP was nearly completely absorbed 18 months post-operation.
Conclusion: The CHAP has favourable histocompatibility and osteroconduction in vivo. There is corresponding synchronization between bone formation with CHAP biodegradation. The CHAP is an excellent bone defect repairing material.

Introduction: Liquid biopsy as a non-invasive method to investigate cancer biology and monitor residual disease has gained significance in clinical practice over the years. Whilst its applicability in carcinomas is well established, the low incidence and heterogeneity of bone and soft tissue sarcomas explains the less well-established knowledge considering liquid biopsy in these highly malignant mesenchymal neoplasms.
Materials And Methods: A systematic literature review adhering to the PRISMA guidelines initially identified 920 studies, of whom 68 original articles could be finally included, all dealing with clinical applicability of liquid biopsy in sarcoma.

Background: Denosumab represents a valuable treatment option for unresectable giant cell tumors of the bone (GCTBs). However, no standardized protocols exist determining the length of administration, with few studies having been published on patients who reached the end of treatment.
Aims: To analyze the outcomes of patients diagnosed with GCTB and who had finished single treatment with denosumab.

: Although CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapies have improved outcomes in HR+ HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, predictive biomarkers for treatment response and adverse effects remain limited. This study assessed the prognostic and predictive value of large unstained cells (LUC), a subset of white blood cells that may reflect immune status or treatment response. : A retrospective analysis of 210 patients with HR+ HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer treated with CDK 4/6 inhibitors between 2021 and 2024 was conducted.

Background/objectives: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive neoplasm. Although most patients respond to induction therapy, they commonly relapse due to recurrent disease in the bone marrow microenvironment (BMME). So, the disruption of the BMME, releasing tumor cells into the peripheral circulation, has therapeutic potential.

Background: Renal adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are relatively rare, and there is currently no standardized protocol for their management. Therefore, this study aimed to summarize renal ADRs related to TKIs use in CML and propose an evidence-based approach to monitor and manage these ADRs.
Methods: A systematic literature review was performed to identify renal ADRs associated with TKIs in CML.
