Late relapse of osteosarcoma: implications for follow-up and screening

Pediatric Blood & Cancer
Sandra J StraussJeremy S Whelan

Abstract

Long-term disease-free survival in patients with localised osteosarcoma treated in large multicentre randomised trials is over 50%. Most relapses occur early, usually within 2-3 years. Relapse after 5 years is uncommon and has been infrequently described. Eight patients with osteosarcoma treated at The London Bone and Soft Tissue Tumour Service since 1986 developed recurrence of disease after 5 years, the latest 14 years after the initial diagnosis. Five patients developed pulmonary metastases, two patients isolated bone metastases and one patient intra-abdominal metastases. Although a second complete remission was achieved in six patients, four patients relapsed again, all with pulmonary metastases. Two patients had co-existent brain metastases. One of those with a second recurrence has achieved a further complete remission and remains well 50 months after the most recent treatment. A second patient is disease-free 24 months after complete excision of an isolated pulmonary metastasis and one further patient is disease-free 6 months after chemotherapy and pneumonectomy for pleural and pulmonary metastases. Five patients have died of disease with a median survival from the date of relapse of 17 months (2-68 months). Current data...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
