Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the treatment-related factors associated with local recurrence and overall survival of patients with osteosarcoma treated with limb-salvage surgery.
Patients And Methods: Treatment-related factors were analyzed to evaluate their effects on local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS) in 182 patients from 2004 to 2013.
Results: The mean length of follow-up was 73.4 ± 34.7 months (median, 68 months; range, 12-173 months), and 63 patients died by the end of the follow-up. The 5-year and 10-year overall survival rates were 68.6 ± 6.6% and 59.4 ± 10.6%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that treatment-related prognostic factors for overall survival were prolonged symptom intervals >=60 days, biopsy/tumor resection performed by different centers, previous medical history, incomplete preoperative chemotherapy (<8 weeks), and prolonged postoperative interval >21 days. In the multivariate analysis, biopsy/tumor resection performed by different centers, incomplete implementation of planned new adjuvant chemotherapy, and delayed resumption of postoperative chemotherapy (>21 days) were risk factors for poor prognosis; biopsy/tumor resection performed by different centers and tumor necrosis <90% were independent predictors of local recurrence.
Conclusion: For localized osteosarcoma treated with limb-salvage surgery, it is necessary to optimize timely standard chemotherapy and to resume postoperative chemotherapy to improve survival rates. Biopsies should be performed at experienced institutions in cases of developing local recurrence.

Pediatric pineal region tumors consist of tumors of pineal gland origin and parapineal origin. The former are comprised of germ cell tumor (GCT) and pineal parenchymal tumor. The latter originate from the surrounding neural structures, such as the midbrain and thalamus; thus, they are often benign gliomas during childhood.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Soft tissue sarcomas of the popliteal fossa are extremely rare tumors of mesenchymal origin accounting for 3%-5% of all extremity sarcomas. However, data regarding the tumor type, neurovascular involvement, and administration of radiation therapy before or after resection are limited. This study aimed to report on popliteal fossa sarcomas analyzing data from two institutions based on a relatively large patient sample.

Purpose: Neurosurgeons use three main surgical approaches for left-sided glioblastoma (GB) in eloquent areas: biopsy, tumor resection under general anesthesia (GA), and awake craniotomy (AC) with brain mapping for maximal safe resection. We performed a retrospective study of functional and survival outcomes for left-sided eloquent GB, comparing these surgical approaches.
Methods: We included 87 patients with primary left-sided eloquent GB from two centers, one performing AC and the other biopsy or resection under GA.

Background: Radical surgical resection of the primary tumor with mono/bilateral inguinofemoral lymph node dissection is the standard treatment for invasive vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) and is frequently related to severe morbidity. Tailoring surgical treatment is of paramount importance, and a comprehensive preoperative evaluation is mandatory. Vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) is considered a regulator of lymphangiogenesis involved in tumor spread lymphatic vessels.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have recently been approved for the treatment of advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The determination of PD-L1 using the combined positive score (CPS) is of utmost importance in the selection of patients. However, it is unclear which material should be examined.
