Establishment of a Primary Culture of Patient-derived Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Published on: April 11, 2018
Summary
This study reviews common soft tissue sarcomas of the hand, including epithelioid sarcoma and synovial sarcoma. It highlights key aspects like local recurrences and lymph node metastases for these hand tumors.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Oncology
- Surgical Pathology
- Hand Surgery
Background:
- Soft tissue sarcomas are rare but can significantly impact hand function.
- Common types affecting the hand include epithelioid sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, and clear cell sarcoma.
Purpose of the Study:
- To discuss the epidemiology and biology of common soft tissue sarcomas of the hand.
- To emphasize unifying concepts in the management of these tumors.
Main Methods:
- Review of existing literature on hand soft tissue sarcomas.
- Analysis of epidemiological data and biological characteristics.
- Identification of common clinical behaviors.
Main Results:
- Epithelioid sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, and clear cell sarcoma are the most frequent types in the hand.
- Local recurrence and regional lymph node metastasis are significant concerns.
Conclusions:
- Understanding the specific epidemiology and biology of hand sarcomas is crucial.
- Focusing on local control and regional staging is essential for effective management.

01:19Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus
The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...
01:16Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi radialis,...
