SOFT TISSUE SARCOMA - SANTA CASA DE SÃO PAULO EXPERIENCE FROM 2006 TO 2019.

Acta Ortop Bras

Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Paulo, Departamento de Ortopedia e Traumatologia, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.

Published: July 2023

Objective: To conduct an epidemiologic review, analyzing treatment, evolution, and survival of soft tissue sarcomas.

Methods: Retrospective study based on medical records of patient with STS treated by the Orthopedic Oncology Group at the Santa Casa de São Paulo, from 2006 to 2019. Data from 121 patients were analyzed according to age, sex, histological type, tumor location, treatment, previous surgery in a non-specialized service, local recurrences, lung metastases, and survival analysis.

Results: The most frequent location was the thigh. Patients who underwent surgery with a non-specialized group had higher rates of local recurrence and those with pulmonary metastasis had a lower survival rate.

Conclusion: STS can occur at any age and the prevalence of the histological type depends on the patients' age group.

Introduction: Sarcomas are rare cancers originating from mesenchymal tissues, manifesting in diverse anatomical locations, but notably in connective tissue, muscles and the skeleton. Thoracic sarcomas present a unique diagnostic and surgical challenge attributable to their rarity and pathoanatomy. Standard practice currently comprises wide surgical excision, often accompanied by adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.

Reduced weight-bearing during spaceflight has been associated with musculoskeletal degradation that risks astronaut health and performance in transit and upon reaching deep space destinations. Previous rodent experiments aboard the international space station (ISS) have identified that the spaceflight-induced molecular arthritic phenotype was characterized with an increase in oxidative stress. This study evaluated if treatment with a superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic on orbit could prevent spaceflight-induced damage to the knee and hip articular cartilage, and the menisci in rodents.
