Summary
Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma are common pediatric bone cancers. Multimodality treatment, including chemotherapy and surgery, improves cure rates and survival for these bone cancers.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Oncology
- Bone Cancer Pathogenesis
- Cancer Treatment Modalities
Background:
- Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma are the most common primary bone cancers in pediatric and adolescent populations, accounting for 36% of all cases.
- The exact causes of bone cancer are largely unknown, but genetic factors and long-term radiation therapy side effects are implicated in their development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline the current understanding of bone cancer (Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma) pathogenesis.
- To describe the established multimodality treatment approaches for these bone cancers.
- To present the NCCN Guidelines for Bone Cancer as a framework for management.
Main Methods:
- Review of current literature on bone cancer etiology and treatment.
- Synthesis of information regarding chemotherapy regimens, targeted therapies, surgery, and radiation.
- Reference to the NCCN Guidelines for Bone Cancer for workup, management, and surveillance.
Main Results:
- Multimodality treatment strategies have led to improved cure rates and overall survival for patients with Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma.
- The NCCN Guidelines offer evidence-based recommendations for comprehensive bone cancer care.
Conclusions:
- Advances in multimodality treatment have significantly improved outcomes for pediatric bone cancers.
- Adherence to established guidelines like the NCCN Guidelines is crucial for effective bone cancer management and surveillance.

3.2K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

01:29Bone Disorders
3.4K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
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...

7.5K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

01:27Nursing Ethical Principles II

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
