Abstract:
Oncorheumatology is the meeting point of tumour formation and rheumatic diseases. Multiple interactions exist between these two medical specialties. One major field is the topic of malignancies associated with rheumatic diseases, while the other topic covers the development of musculoskeletal disease in cancer patients. In the first group, secondary malignancies associated with rheumatic diseases, role of tumour-associated antigens in rheumatology, the possible carcinogenicity of conventional and targeted antirheumatic drugs and physical therapy of rheumatic patients with recent or current cancer will be discussed. The second large topic includes paraneoplastic syndromes, autoimmune-rheumatic side effects of oncotherapies (chemotherapy and immunotherapy), effects of hormone-deprivation therapies on bone and primary and secondary malignancies of the musculoskeletal system.

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...
Connective Tissue Cell Types
Fat cells (adipocytes), smooth muscle cells (myoblasts), and bone cells (osteoblasts) are some connective tissue cell types. Some immune system cells...
The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
