Trends in incidence of Ewing sarcoma of bone in India – Evidence from the National Cancer Registry Programme (1982–2011)
Conclusion This paper has described population based measurements on burden and trends in incidence of skeletal Ewing in India. These may steer further research questions on the clinical and molecular epidemiology to explain factors associated with the increasing incidence of Ewing sarcoma bone observed in India.

Variants of FasL and ABCC5 are predictive of outcome after chemotherapy-based treatment in osteosarcoma
Conclusions The association of variants of FASL and ABCC5 with survival outcome after chemotherapy was validated in patients with osteosarcoma. Our findings may provide a new insight into a more personalized treatment for patients with osteosarcoma. (Source: Journal of Bone Oncology)

Outcomes and prognostic factors for surgically treated patients with breast cancer spine metastases
Conclusions Lymph node metastases and ER status are independent risk factors in predicting BCSM. Moreover, visceral metastasis, multiple metastases of the spine and post-op chemotherapy are independent prognostic factors. Luminal subtypes have higher rate, but late onset of spine metastases and prolonged survival. (Source: Journal of Bone Oncology)

Study on the relationship between livin expression and osteosarcoma
Conclusion : Livin was highly expressed in osteosarcoma, and osteosarcoma Enncking staging and tumor size were positively correlated, both may be involved in the occurrence and development of osteosarcoma, and be closely related to the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients.

A promoter variant of lncRNA GAS5 is functionally associated with the development of osteosarcoma
Conclusions The genetic variant rs145204276 is functionally associated with the susceptibility of OS, which can function as a protective factor in the incidence of OS possibly through the regulation of GAS5. (Source: Journal of Bone Oncology)

Small animal models for the study of bone sarcoma pathogenesis:characteristics, therapeutic interests and limitations
Publication date: September 2018 Source:Journal of Bone Oncology, Volume 12 Author(s): Camille Jacques, Nathalie Renema, Frederic Lezot, Benjamin Ory, Carl R. Walkley, Agi E. Grigoriadis, Dominique Heymann Osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and chondrosarcoma are the three main entities of bone sarcoma which collectively encompass more than 50 heterogeneous entities of rare malignancies. In contrast to osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma which mainly affect adolescents and young adults and exhibit a high propensity to metastasise to the lungs, chondrosarcoma is more frequently observed after 40 years of age and is characteris...

No Consensus on Implant Choice for Oligometastatic Disease of the Femoral Head and Neck
Conclusions When treating metastatic lesions of the femoral head and neck orthopaedic oncologists do not agree on reconstructing with THA versus hemiarthroplasty for patients with younger age and favorable histology. This investigation highlights the controversy of this clinical decision and indicates the need for a collaborative prospective trial among this specific patient population in order to determine the optimal treatment method.

Surgical Thyroparathyroidectomy Prevents Progression of 5TGM1 Murine Multiple Myeloma In Vivo
Publication date: Available online 23 February 2018 Source:Journal of Bone Oncology Author(s): Maurizio Zangari, Hanna Yoo, Ik Jae Shin, Donghoon Yoon, Larry J. Suva The 5TGM1 multiple myeloma transplanted C57BL6/KaLwRij model recapitulates many disease features including monoclonal paraprotein production as well as the development of osteolytic bone lesions. Since a significant association between serum parathyroid hormone PTH variations, bone anabolism and myeloma progression in patients receiving proteasome inhibitors exists, this study investigated the effect of the PTH axis on murine myeloma development in vivo...
