Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to provide an up-to-date and unprecedented summary of percent slope analysis of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the preoperative evaluation of the chemotherapy response of osteosarcoma or Ewing sarcoma.
Materials And Method: Studies evaluating dynamic MRI for the preoperative evaluation of the chemotherapy response of osteosarcoma or Ewing sarcoma were systematically searched for in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science. More than 60 % reduction of the slope of the time intensity curve derived from dynamic MRI was defined as a positive response. Pooled sensitivity and specificity for each study were calculated into 2 × 2 contingency tables. The DerSimonian-Laird random-effects method was used for determining the pooled diagnostic odds ratio and the area under curve (AUC) of the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve.
Results: A total of six studies with 66 patients who fulfilled all of the inclusion criteria were considered for the meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.73 (95 % CI, 0.54-0.88) and 0.83 (95 % CI, 0.67-0.94), respectively. A significant difference was found between the good and poor responders in the diagnostic odds ratio. The SROC curve showed that the AUC was 0.839, indicating diagnostic accuracy in estimating good therapy response.
Conclusion: The slope of the time intensity curve derived from dynamic MRI was useful for evaluating the histological response of patients to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in osteosarcoma or Ewing sarcoma.

Background: International variation in childhood cancer survival might be explained by differences in stage at diagnosis, among other factors. As part of the BENCHISTA project, we aimed to assess geographical variation in tumour stage at diagnosis through the application, by population-based cancer registries working with clinicians, of the international consensus Toronto Childhood Cancer Stage Guidelines.
Methods: This population-based, retrospective cohort study involved 67 cancer registries from 23 European countries, Australia, Brazil, Japan, and Canada.

Bone sarcomas, constituting less than 1% of malignant neoplasms across all age groups, are rare tumours possibly associated with genetic susceptibility syndromes. This review aims to provide recommendations for the detection of cancer predisposition syndromes associated with bone sarcomas and managing affected patients. Recommendations were formulated by a multidisciplinary working and reviewing group from GROUPOS and SFCE oncogenetic's group, including geneticists, oncologists, and radiologists.

Case: Triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) is used to treat developmental dysplasia of the hip in a pediatric population. This case report highlights a new indication for this procedure. Acetabular coverage was restored in a 9-year-old patient who experienced instability following hip hemiarthroplasty and proximal femur composite allograft implantation for the treatment of Ewing sarcoma.

Introduction: Ewing sarcoma is a rare paediatric cancer. Currently, there is no way of accurately predicting these patients' survival at diagnosis. Disease type (ie, localised disease, lung/pleuropulmonary metastases and other metastases) is used to guide treatment decisions, with metastatic patients generally having worse outcomes than localised disease patients.
