|February 1, 1977
Summary
Sacrococcygeal chordoma treatment shows poor long-term results, with frequent local recurrences. This highlights the need to consider extensive surgeries like hemipelvectomy or hemicorporectomy.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Surgical Oncology
- Orthopedic Oncology
Context:
- Sacrococcygeal chordomas are rare bone tumors.
- Long-term outcomes for these tumors are often unfavorable.
- Treatment involves surgical resection and monitoring for recurrence.
Purpose:
- To analyze the long-term outcomes of sacrococcygeal chordoma treatment.
- To evaluate the recurrence patterns following initial treatment.
- To discuss the role of radical surgical procedures in managing these tumors.
Summary:
- A case of sacrococcygeal chordoma was followed for 7 years, demonstrating predominantly local recurrences.
- The study indicates that sacrococcygeal chordoma has poor long-term treatment results.
- Radical surgical options, including hemipelvectomy and hemicorporectomy, are considered for management.
Impact:
- The findings underscore the aggressive nature of sacrococcygeal chordomas.
- This research may inform surgical decision-making for complex cases.
- Improved understanding of recurrence patterns can guide follow-up strategies.

01:16Radical Reactivity: Nucleophilic Radicals
2.6K
Radicals adjacent to electron-donating groups are called nucleophilic radicals. These radicals readily react with electrophilic alkenes. The SOMO–LUMO interactions are the driving force for the reaction, where the high-energy SOMO of the electron-rich, nucleophilic radicals interacts with the low-energy LUMO of the electron-deficient, electrophilic alkenes. Such SOMO–LUMO interactions are the basis of reactive radical traps, affecting the selectivity in radical reactions. For...

01:02Radical Reactivity: Electrophilic Radicals
2.4K
Radicals adjacent to electron‐withdrawing groups are called electrophilic radicals. These radicals readily react with nucleophilic alkenes. For example, the malonate radical, in which the radical center is flanked by two electron‐withdrawing groups, reacts readily with butyl vinyl ether, which consists of an electron‐donating oxygen substituent. The reaction between electrophilic malonate radical and nucleophilic vinyl ether is favored because the radical has a...

01:20Radical Autoxidation
3.1K
The oxidation of an organic compound in the presence of air or oxygen is called autoxidation. For example, cumene reacts with oxygen to form hydroperoxide. Autoxidation involves initiation, propagation, and termination steps. Many organic compounds are susceptible to autoxidation—especially ethers in the presence of oxygen, which form hydroperoxides. Even though this reaction is slow, old ether bottles contain small amounts of peroxide, which leads to laboratory explosions during ether...

1.9K
The operational amplifier, often referred to as an op-amp, is a multifaceted building block of a circuit. This electronic component functions like a voltage-controlled voltage source and can also be used to create a voltage- or current-controlled current source. The design of an operational amplifier enables it to execute mathematical operations when external components like resistors and capacitors are linked to its terminals. An op-amp has the capacity to sum signals, amplify a signal,...

01:03Radical Formation: Overview
2.6K
A bond can be broken either by heterolytic bond cleavage to form ions or homolytic bond cleavage to yield radicals. A fishhook arrow is used to represent the motion of a single electron in homolytic bond cleavage. There are two main sources from which radicals can be formed:
Radicals from spin-paired molecules:
Radicals can be obtained from spin-paired molecules either by homolysis or electron transfer. While two radicals are formed in the former, an electron is added in the...

00:54Radical Formation: Homolysis
4.3K
A bond is formed between two atoms by sharing two electrons. When this bond is broken by supplying sufficient energy, either two electrons can be taken up by one atom forming ions by the cleavage called heterolysis, or the two electrons are shared by two atoms, with one each creating radicals by the cleavage called homolysis.
