Filter by:Bone tumors refer to tumors that occur in the bone or its accessory tissues. Benign bone tumors usually reveal a good prognosis, while malignant bone tumors develop rapidly, have a poor prognosis and high mortality. Malignant bone tumors are also classified as primary tumor and secondary metastasis. Bone metastasis refers the metastasis of malignant tumors to the bone through lymph, blood or direct invasion to generate daughter tumors, which is the most common bone tumor. More than 40% of patients with malignant tumors will have bone metastasis, among which breast cancer, prostate cancer is more common. Early diagnosis of a various of bone tumors can lay the foundation for clinical implementation of effective treatment measures. The laboratory of Hank F. Kung at the University of Pennsylvania had developed a new generation of Gallium-68 labeled radiopharmaceutical P15-041 ([68Ga]Ga-P15-041) based on existing phosphonate-targeting molecular probes. Series of research results showed that [68Ga]Ga-P15-041 had high uptake in the bone cortex, blood and other tissues cleared quickly. Hence, [68Ga]Ga-P15-041 had the potential to become a new generation of excellent phosphonate molecular probes.
This is a real-world study to explore the efficacy and safety of incadronate in the treatment of breast cancer patients with bone metastases.
Interventional clinical study to obtain performance and safety data of the EPIONE® device when used for bone percutaneous procedures.
BDMO is an Italian multicentre, observational, prospective study that collects data from all patients with bone metastases referred to each participating centre, using an on-line software 'tailor-made' for data collection.
In this observational study patients treated at European Institute of Oncology with radiotherapy to limbs will be included
The purpose of this non-randomized, prospective study is to assess the feasibility of planning and delivering conventional palliative radiotherapy to bone metastases on previously available diagnostic CT scans (dCT). Objectives:1) dosimetric accuracy of palliative radiotherapy designed on a dCT compared to a CT simulation 2) assess suitability of patient set up using surface landmarks and kilo voltage (kV) imaging 3) determine the proportion of patients who can receive radiotherapy designed on a dCT 4) confirm eligibility criteria for appropriate patients in clinical practice All enrolled patients will undergo a CT simulation with tattoos as per current standard of care.The radiation oncologist will place fields on the dCT and CT simulation. Radiotherapy will be planned on both CT scans and reviewed for quality by both the radiation oncologist and medical physicist.
To date, arterial embolization constitutes one of the most popular methods in minimally invasive treatment of bone metastases, allowing good results in terms of pain reduction, local control of disease and reduction of peri-operative bleeding, with low invasiveness.
Background : Vertebral fracture is the most common complication of osteoporosis. Vertebroplasty is a widespread treatment modality for osteoporotic vertebral fractures, providing consolidation, rapid pain relief and preventing secondary vertebral collapse. Performing a biopsy at the same time as the operation does not lengthen the procedure or increase the risk of complications. The question therefore arises as to whether it is cost-effective diagnostically: are non-osteoporotic vertebral lesions detected when biopsies are taken? Methods: The investigators carried out a single-centre retrospective study at Nice University Hospital. From January 2016 to March 2022, 1729 biopsies were performed during 1439 vertebroplasty procedures on 1120 patients. The pre-operative laboratory work-up included a blood count, a C-reactive protein assay and a coagulation test. The imaging work-up systematically included MRI, unless contraindicated, in which case CT alone was performed. Vertebroplasty was performed in an interventional CT suite under dual CT and fluoroscopic guidance. The systematic biopsy sample was then sent to the anatomopathology department for analysis. Findings : The samples detected cancer in 35 patients, including 5 (0.44%) for whom the pre-operative work-up had not raised any suspicion. All the incidental findings were haemopathies, including 4 myelomas and one lymphoma. Conclusion : These results highlight the good performance of MRI in distinguishing osteoporotic vertebral fractures from solid tumour metastases. However, an exhaustive pre-operative work-up does not seem to be able to formally rule out an underlying malignant lesion. The investigators therefore recommend that biopsies be taken systematically when performing vertebroplasty.
To compare increasing doses and different treatment schedules of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) against standard treatment scheduling.
RATIONALE: Nearly 50% of patients with bone metastases develop one or more complications collectively termed skeletal-related events (SREs). The study herbal medicine might reduce the morbidities due to "Skeletal-related events" (SRES), and extend survival time. PURPOSE: the study is to explore the effects of the 4 Herbs Formula on the reduction of "Skeletal-related events" (SRES), and survival time.
