Abstract
PURPOSE We conducted a systematic review of studies reporting on measurement of health-related quality of life (HRQoL), with a special focus on the use of the preference-weighted instruments, in patients with extremity bone sarcoma treated with limb-salvage surgery or amputation. METHODS We searched MedLine, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science for English-language studies reporting on HRQoL of patients with bone sarcoma from inception to 28 August 2023. All records found were independently reviewed by two reviewers. We used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and the CONSORT 2010 checklist to assess the quality of the cohort and randomised studies, respectively. RESULTS The search identified 1225 records, of which 16 studies were included for data extraction. Only one study used a preference-weighted instrument for measuring HRQoL in a small sample of patients (n = 28). Ten studies used the generic SF-36 questionnaire, but no preference-weighted HRQoL based on SF-6D was derived from the SF-36 scores. Most studies comparing HRQoL between amputation and limb-salvage surgery reported no significant differences. Twelve cohort studies scored six or more out of nine points based on the NOS. The only randomised study scored 54% on the CONSORT 2010 checklist. CONCLUSIONS The approaches used to measure HRQoL were inconsistent and outcome scores varied substantially. Only one study used preference-weighted instruments for HRQoL measurement. Future research into the surgical treatment of extremity bone sarcoma should consider the use of preference-weighted instruments to measure HRQoL, which will therefore enable economic evaluation for the growing orthopaedic armamentarium of novel surgical interventions. REGISTRATION This systematic review was registered with the PROSPERO International prospective register of systematic reviews (CRD42021282380).

Intraoperative Resection Guidance and Rapid Pathological Diagnosis of Osteosarcoma using B7H3 Targeted Probe under NIR-II Fluorescence Imaging. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024:e2310167.

Abstract
Complete removal of all tumor tissue with a wide surgical margin is essential for the treatment of osteosarcoma (OS). However, it's difficult, sometimes impossible, to achieve due to the invisible small satellite lesions and blurry tumor boundaries. Besides, intraoperative frozen-section analysis of resection margins of OS is often restricted by the hard tissues around OS, which makes it impossible to know whether a negative margin is achieved. Any unresected small tumor residuals will lead to local recurrence and worse prognosis. Herein, based on the high expression of B7H3 in OS, a targeted probe B7H3-IRDye800CW is synthesized by conjugating anti-B7H3 antibody and IRDye800CW. B7H3-IRDye800CW can accurately label OS areas after intravenous administration, thereby helping surgeons identify and resect residual OS lesions (<2 mm) and lung metastatic lesions. The tumor-background ratio reaches 4.42 ± 1.77 at day 3. After incubating fresh human OS specimen with B7H3-IRDye800CW, it can specifically label the OS area and even the microinvasion area (confirmed by hematoxylin-eosin [HE] staining). The probe labeled area is consistent with the tumor area shown by magnetic resonance imaging and complete HE staining of the specimen. In summary, B7H3-IRDye800CW has translational potential in intraoperative resection guidance and rapid pathological diagnosis of OS.

Abstract
Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a rare benign odontogenic tumour of the tooth-bearing jaws. Its concomitant occurrence with osteosarcoma, a malignant maxillofacial bone tumour, has never been described before. We present an uncommon case of a 43-year-old woman in whom a cemento-ossifying fibroma in the right maxilla was treated by resection and reconstruction using a deep circumflex iliac artery flap. During surgical prosthetic rehabilitation one-year post-operative, an osteosarcoma extending from the contralateral maxilla was coincidentally discovered in the deep circumflex iliac artery flap. The aim of this case report is to raise awareness on the extremely rare but possible simultaneous and independent occurrence of a cemento-ossifying fibroma and an osteosarcoma.

Abstract
As palliative care continues to be an area of increasing emphasis in pediatric oncology programs, it is important to raise awareness about minimally invasive, image-guided procedures that can supplement more conventional palliative interventions, such as systemic analgesics, external beam radiation, and locoregional anesthesia. These procedures, when performed for appropriately selected patients, can often facilitate discharge from an inpatient facility, and help patients meet their end-of-life goals. This article specifically discusses three palliative procedures performed by interventional radiologists that can assist pediatric palliative care teams in: (a) percutaneous thermal ablation of painful bone metastases, (b) cryoneurolysis, and (c) tunneled drainage catheter placement for malignant pleural effusions and ascites.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess survival outcomes, prognostic factors, and adverse events following chemotherapy treatment for osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma. This retrospective observational study was conducted to collect the data of the patients with osteosarcoma or Ewing’s sarcoma who received chemotherapy treatment between 2008 and 2019. The flexible parametric survival model was performed to explore the adjusted survival probability and the prognostic factors. A total of 102 patients (79 with osteosarcoma and 23 with Ewing’s sarcoma) were included. The estimated 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and 5-year overall survival (OS) probabilities in patients with resectable disease were 60.9% and 63.3% for osteosarcoma, and 54.4% and 88.3% for Ewing’s sarcoma, respectively, whereas the 5-year DFS and 5-year OS for those with unresectable/metastatic disease remained below 25%. Two prognostic factors for osteosarcoma included a response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and female gender. Ewing’s sarcoma patients aged 25 years and older were significantly associated with poorer survival outcomes. Of 181 chemotherapy treatment cycles, common self-reported adverse symptoms included tumor pain (n = 32, 17.7%), fever (n = 21, 11.6%), and fatigue (n = 16, 8.8%), while common grade III adverse events included febrile neutropenia (n = 13, 7.3%) and neutropenia (n = 9, 5.1%). There was no chemotherapy-related mortality (grade V) or anaphylaxis events.

Characterizing the Ablative Effects of Histotripsy for Osteosarcoma: In Vivo Study in Dogs. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15030741. [PMID: 36765700 PMCID: PMC9913343 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15030741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant bone tumor treated by limb amputation or limb salvage surgeries and chemotherapy. Histotripsy is a non-thermal, non-invasive focused ultrasound therapy using controlled acoustic cavitation to mechanically disintegrate tissue. Recent ex vivo and in vivo pilot studies have demonstrated the ability of histotripsy for ablating OS but were limited in scope. This study expands on these initial findings to more fully characterize the effects of histotripsy for bone tumors, particularly in tumors with different compositions. A prototype 500 kHz histotripsy system was used to treat ten dogs with suspected OS at an intermediate treatment dose of 1000 pulses per location. One day after histotripsy, treated tumors were resected via limb amputation, and radiologic and histopathologic analyses were conducted to determine the effects of histotripsy for each patient. The results of this study demonstrated that histotripsy ablation is safe and feasible in canine patients with spontaneous OS, while offering new insights into the characteristics of the achieved ablation zone. More extensive tissue destruction was observed after histotripsy compared to that in previous reports, and radiographic changes in tumor size and contrast uptake following histotripsy were reported for the first time. Overall, this study significantly expands our understanding of histotripsy bone tumor ablation and informs future studies for this application.

Abstract
Cancer metastasis is the major cause of the high mortality risk of patients with osteosarcoma. Cinnamaldehyde has been shown to exhibit multiple tumour-suppressing activities, but its role in human osteosarcoma is not yet completely defined. In this study, the antimetastatic effect of cinnamaldehyde on highly metastatic human osteosarcoma cells was observed in vitro and in vivo using Saos-2 and 143B cells. Cinnamaldehyde reduced the activity and protein level of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) and suppressed the invasion ability of osteosarcoma cells by inhibiting the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase. In addition, cinnamaldehyde reduced cell movement, cell-matrix adhesion, and the expression of the mesenchymal markers of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, namely, fibronectin and N-cadherin. Importantly, the oral administration of cinnamaldehyde remarkably suppressed the pulmonary metastasis of osteosarcoma in mice. Results indicated that cinnamaldehyde has therapeutic potential for inhibiting osteosarcoma metastasis.

Abstract
Seven clinical factors were significantly related to the prognosis of patients with long bone osteosarcoma. The established nomogram can help surgeons evaluate the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients in the most common sites. High-risk individuals can be identified through risk-stratification system.
Background Osteosarcoma (OS), most commonly occurring in long bone, is a group of malignant tumors with high incidence in adolescents. No individualized model has been developed to predict the prognosis of primary long bone osteosarcoma (PLBOS) and the current AJCC TNM staging system lacks accuracy in prognosis prediction. We aimed to develop a nomogram based on the clinicopathological factors affecting the prognosis of PLBOS patients to help clinicians predict the cancer-specific survival (CSS) of PLBOS patients. Method We studied 1199 PLBOS patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2004 to 2015 and randomly divided the dataset into training and validation cohorts at a proportion of 7:3. Independent prognostic factors determined by stepwise multivariate Cox analysis were included in the nomogram and risk-stratification system. C-index, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to verify the performance of the nomogram. Results Age, Histological type, Surgery of primary site, Tumor size, Local extension, Regional lymph node (LN) invasion, and Distant metastasis were identified as independent prognostic factors. C-indexes, calibration curves and DCAs of the nomogram indicating that the nomogram had good discrimination and validity. The risk-stratification system based on the nomogram showed significant differences (P < 0.05) in CSS among different risk groups. Conclusion We established a nomogram with risk-stratification system to predict CSS in PLBOS patients and demonstrated that the nomogram had good performance. This model can help clinicians evaluate prognoses, identify high-risk individuals, and give individualized treatment recommendation of PLBOS patients.

Abstract
The importance of 3D printing applications in the surgery of musculoskeletal tumors has increased in recent years. Even prior to the era of 3D printing, computer-assisted techniques, such as navigation, have proved their utility. Due to the variable appearance of bone tumors, there is a need for individual solutions. The 3D printing can be used for the development of anatomical demonstration models, the construction of patient-specific instruments and custom-made implants. For these three applications, different regulatory hurdles exist. Especially for the resection of pelvic tumors, 3D printing technologies seem to provide advantages due to the complicated anatomy and the proximity to relevant neurovascular structures. With the introduction of titanium printing, construction of individualized implants that fit exactly into the defect became feasible.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary bone tumor affecting both dogs and humans. Histotripsy is a non-thermal, non-invasive focused ultrasound method using controlled acoustic cavitation to mechanically disintegrate tissue. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of treating primary OS tumors with histotripsy using a 500-kHz transducer on excised canine OS samples harvested after surgery at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at Virginia Tech. Samples were embedded in gelatin tissue phantoms and treated with the 500-kHz histotripsy system using one- or two-cycle pulses at a pulse repetition frequency of 250 Hz and a dosage of 4000 pulses/point. Separate experiments also assessed histotripsy effects on normal canine bone and nerve using the same pulsing parameters. After treatment, histopathological evaluation of the samples was completed. To determine the feasibility of treating OS through intact skin/soft tissue, additional histotripsy experiments assessed OS with overlying tissues. Generation of bubble clouds was achieved at the focus in all tumor samples at peak negative pressures of 26.2 ± 4.5 MPa. Histopathology revealed effective cell ablation in treated areas for OS tumors, with no evidence of cell death or tissue damage in normal tissues. Treatment through tissue/skin resulted in generation of well-confined bubble clouds and ablation zones inside OS tumors. Results illustrate the feasibility of treating OS tumors with histotripsy.

Abstract
Melatonin has been proposed as a potent anticarcinogen presents a short half-life for osteosarcoma (OS). Cell-in-cell (CIC) structures play a role in the development of malignant tumors by changing the tumor cell energy metabolism. This study developed a melatonin-loaded 3D printed magnesium-polycaprolactone (Mg-PCL) scaffold and investigated its effect and molecular mechanism on CIC in OS. Mg-PCL scaffold was prepared by 3D-printing and its characteristic was determined. The effect and molecular mechanism of Mg-PCL scaffold as well as melatonin-loaded Mg-PCL on OS growth and progression were investigated in vivo and in vitro. We found that melatonin receptor 1 (MT1) and CIC expressions were increased in OS tissues and cells. Melatonin treatment inhibit the key CIC pathway, Rho/ROCK, through the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway, interfering with the mitochondrial physiology of OS cells, and thus playing an anti-invasion and anti-metastasis role in OS. The Mg-PCL-MT could significantly inhibit distant organ metastasis of OS in the in vivo model. Our results showed that melatonin-loaded Mg-PCL scaffolds inhibited the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of OS cells through the CIC pathway. The Mg-PCL-MT could be a potential therapeutics for OS.

Abstract
Simple Summary Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumour in adolescents and young adults. The survival of osteosarcoma patients has not improved for four decades. The purpose was to describe first and subsequent relapses in patients from the OS2006/Sarcome-09 trial, to help future trial design. Among the 434 patients with a confirmed osteosarcoma who achieved CR1 during first line treatment, 157 patients experienced at least one relapse. The 3-year progression-free and overall survival rates were 21% and 37%, respectively. Only a quarter of the patients were included in clinical trials at first recurrence. We want to promote randomised phase-II trials in osteosarcoma relapses, with broad inclusion criteria at study entry in terms of age and disease status, and PFS as primary endpoint. Surgery/local treatment of all residual lesions should be allowed when feasible. Single-arm trial design could be used for subsequent relapses. Abstract The purpose was to describe first and subsequent relapses in patients from the OS2006/Sarcome-09 trial, to help future trial design. We prospectively collected and analysed relapse data of all French patients included in the OS2006/Sarcome-09 trial, who had achieved a first complete remission. 157 patients experienced a first relapse. The median interval from diagnosis to relapse was 1.7 year (range 0.5–7.6). The first relapse was metastatic in 83% of patients, and disease was not measurable according to RECIST 1.1 criteria in 23%. Treatment consisted in systemic therapy (74%) and surgical resection (68%). A quarter of the patients were accrued in a phase-II clinical trial. A second complete remission was obtained for 79 patients. Most of them had undergone surgery (76/79). The 3-year progression-free and overall survival rates were 21% and 37%, respectively. In patients who achieved CR2, the 3y-PFS and OS rates were 39% and 62% respectively. Individual correlation between subsequent PFS durations was poor. For osteosarcoma relapses, we recommend randomised phase-II trials, open to patients from all age categories (children, adolescents, adults), not limited to patients with measurable disease (but stratified according to disease status), with PFS as primary endpoint, response rate and surgical CR as secondary endpoints.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conflicting findings have been reported concerning the survival of patients treated with limb salvage and amputation for osteosarcoma. This study aimed to identify predictors associated with surgery types and survival difference. METHODS Patients with osteosarcoma were selected from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database (1975-2016). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted, and a nomogram was further established. Propensity score matching (PSM)-adjusted Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank tests, Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were performed to compare overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). RESULTS Among 3363 patients with osteosarcoma, 2447 and 916 underwent limb salvage and amputation. Predictors associated with amputation in the nomogram included age, gender, primary tumor site, tumor grade, tumor stage, tumor size and radiotherapy. Totally 900 pairs of patients treated with limb salvage and amputation were matched after PSM. Limb salvage was significantly associated with improved OS (HR, 0.773; 95% CI, 0.670-0.892; p < 0.001) and CSS (HR, 0.795; 95% CI, 0.681-0.927; p = 0.003) in PSM-adjusted cohort after adjusting for related variables. The significant treatment effect of limb salvage was consistent within most subgroups. Among patients treated with surgery for osteosarcoma, age between 41 and 60, age ≥ 61, pelvis as the primary site, high tumor grade (III/IV), regional and distant tumor stage, tumor size ≥ 92 mm and radiotherapy were independent prognostic factors in PSM cohort. CONCLUSIONS Limb salvage exhibits significant benefit on OS and CSS compared with amputation for osteosarcoma. Predicators and survival differences should be given full consideration for the treatment of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
The long-term outcomes of osteosarcoma have improved; however, patients with metastases, recurrence or axial disease continue to have a poor prognosis. Computer navigation in surgery is becoming ever more commonplace, and the proposed advantages, including precision during surgery, is particularly applicable to the field of orthopaedic oncology and challenging areas such as the axial skeleton. Within this article, we provide an overview of the field of computer navigation and computer-assisted tumour surgery (CATS), in particular its relevance to the surgical management of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Approximately one-fourth of osteosarcoma patients have metastases at presentation. The best treatment options for these patients include chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy; however, the optimal scheme has not yet been defined. Standard chemotherapy for osteosarcoma metastatic at presentation is based on high-dose methotrexate, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (the MAP regimen), with the possible addition of ifosfamide. Surgical treatment continues to be fundamental; complete surgical resection of all sites of disease (primary and metastatic) remains essential for survival. In patients whose tumors do not respond to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, early surgical resection of the primary tumor with limb-salvage surgery or amputation and multiple metastasectomies, if feasible, after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy is a reasonable option, as the reduction of the tumor volume could probably increase the effect of chemotherapy. Advanced radiotherapy techniques, such as carbon ion radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery, and molecular targeted chemo-therapy with drugs such as pazopanib or apatinib have improved the dismal prognosis, especially for patients who are medically inoperable or who refuse surgery. Given that the presence of metastatic disease at diagnosis of a patient with osteosarcoma is a poor prognostic factor, a multidisciplinary approach by surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiotherapists is important.

Abstract
Matrine and adriamycin have been extensively considered to be effective in anticancer therapies. However, the role of matrine in the antitumor activity of adriamycin against human osteosarcoma (OS) remains elusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of matrine in OS chemotherapy of adriamycin. In the study, we found that matrine promoted the inhibitory effect of adriamycin against OS cell proliferation and growth. Wound healing and transwell assays showed that the inhibitory effect of adriamycin against migration and invasion of OS cells was significantly enhanced by matrine. For the underlying mechanism investigation, we showed that adriamycin reduced the protein level of PCNA, MMP-9, phosphorylated STAT3, and survivin, which was further intensified by the application of matrine. These results show that matrine could promote the therapeutic efficacy of adriamycin against human OS.

Abstract
The dysregulation of microRNA‑939‑5p (miR‑939) is involved in the development of multiple types of human cancer. However, the expression and roles of miR‑939 in osteosarcoma (OS) have yet to be clarified. The expression level of miR‑939 in OS was measured using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR). A Cell Counting Kit‑8 assay, flow cytometry analysis, Transwell migration and invasion assays, and a tumor xenograft assay were employed to explore the effects of miR‑939 in OS cells. Bioinformatics analysis, RT‑qPCR, western blot analysis and luciferase reporter assays were performed to explore its underlying mechanism. Expression of miR‑939 was decreased in both OS tissues and cell lines. The decreased miR‑939 expression was notably correlated with clinical stage and distant metastasis in patients with OS, where low miR‑939 levels were correlated with lower overall survival. miR‑939 overexpression decreased OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro; induced cell apoptosis, and impaired tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, insulin‑like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF‑1R) was characterized as direct target gene of miR‑939 in OS. The tumor‑suppressing effects of miR‑939 in OS cells were imitated by IGF‑1R knockdown. In addition, exogenous IGF‑1R expression abolished the tumor suppressive roles of miR‑939 in OS cells. miR‑939 was implicated in the deactivation of the PI3K/Akt pathway in OS in vitro and in vivo through regulating IGF‑1R expression. The present study demonstrated that miR‑939 exerted tumor‑suppressing roles in the malignancy of OS cells by directly targeting IGF‑1R and inactivating the PI3K/AKT pathway. Therefore, this miRNA may be a promising target for anticancer therapy in patients with OS.

Abstract
Aberrant miRNAs play important roles in tumor development and progression. Previous studies reported that miR-552 was dysregulated expressed in multiple cancers. However, its biological effects and underlying mechanism in osteosarcoma remains largely unknown. In present research, we demonstrated that miR-552 was significantly up-regulated in both osteosarcoma cell lines and tissues for the first time. Its high-expression was significantly associated with poor prognostic features and overall survival of osteosarcoma patients. Gain- and loss-of-function experiment confirmed that miR-552 promoted cell migration, invasion and MMPs expression. Moreover, TIMP2 was a direct downstream target of miR-552. miR-552 inversely correlated with TIMP2 in osteosarcoma tissues. TIMP2 restoration at least partially abolished the migration, invasion and MMPs expression of miR-552 on osteosarcoma cells. Above all, our data suggest that miR-552 promoted migration, invasion and MMPs expression of osteosarcoma by targeting TIMP2, and represent a novel potential therapeutic target for osteosarcoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE International and national research regarding the discussion of cancer treatment across cultural boundaries is sparse. This study was conducted in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, where healthcare encounters are largely culturally discordant; and this study focused on adult Zulu patients diagnosed with osteosarcoma. The purpose of this research study was to identify the cultural factors associated with discussing the different treatment options - and to explore healthcare professionals' responses to these cultural factors - from the healthcare professionals' perspective. METHODS A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual research design was used. We conducted focus group interviews with professional nurses, allied health professionals and orthopaedic physicians. These three focus groups comprised a total of 23 participants, and interviews were conducted with each of these groups. We thematically analysed the interview transcripts, using Guba's model of trustworthiness to ensure rigour. RESULTS We found that the factors, influencing treatment discussions in this cross-cultural clinical setting, included the meaning and the disclosure of cultural health beliefs.We identified strategies for responding to the cultural factors associated with amputation, namely timing treatment discussions, using support services, patient models and DVDs or videos. Strategies for responding to cultural and health beliefs that affect the treatment included initiating the cultural discussion, demonstrating an understanding of patients' cultural beliefs and liaising with family and cultural decision-makers wherever possible. CONCLUSION Our findings emphasised healthcare professionals' reports of how patients can experience the discussion of culturally discordant treatment options as bad news. We recommend that the treatment discussion form an integral part of the guidelines for culturally competent communication with such cancer patients.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the leading primary bone cancer in young adults and exhibits high chemoresistance rates. Therefore, characterization of both alternative treatment options and the underlying mechanisms is essential. Simvastatin, a cholesterol-lowering drug, has among its pleiotropic effects anticancer potential. Characterizing this potential and the underlying mechanisms in osteosarcoma is the subject of the present study. Human osteosarcoma cells (SaOS-2 and U2OS) were treated with simvastatin (4-66 µM) for 48 or 72 h. The effects of downstream substrate mevalonate (MA) or substrates for isoprenylation farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) and geranylgeranyl-pyrophosphate (GGPP) were evaluated using add-back experiments. Tumour growth using MTT assay, apoptosis, cell cycle and signalling cascades involved in simvastatin-induced manipulation were analysed. The results revealed that simvastatin dose-dependently inhibited cell growth. Simvastatin significantly induced apoptosis, increased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and cleavage of caspase-3 and PARP protein. Simvastatin impaired cell cycle progression as shown by significantly increased percentages of cells in the G0/G1 phase and lower percentages of cells in the S phase. Gene expression levels of cell cycle-regulating genes (TP53, CDKN1A and CDK1) were markedly altered. These effects were not completely abolished by FPP, but were reversed by MA and GGPP. JNK and c-Jun phosphorylation was enhanced after simvastatin treatment, while those were abolished when either MA or GGPP were added. In conclusion, simvastatin acts primarily by reducing prenylation to induce apoptosis and reduce osteosarcoma cell growth. Particularly enhanced activation of c-Jun seems to play a pivotal role in osteosarcoma cell death.

Abstract
Sarcomas of soft tissue and bone are mesenchymal malignancies that can arise in any anatomic location, most commonly the extremity, retroperitoneum, and trunk. Even for lower grade histologic subtypes, local recurrence can cause significant morbidity and even disease-related death. Although surgery remains the cornerstone of local control, perioperative radiation and systemic therapy are often important adjuvants. This review will summarize the current therapeutic approaches for local control of soft tissue and bone sarcomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant tumor of bone. The survival of OS patients has steadily improved from <20% in the early 20th century to around 70% with current treatment. There are very few studies in pediatric OS from India analyzing various aspects of the disease. This study focuses on the clinical profile, treatment options, and their complications and survival outcomes in pediatric osteosarcoma (OS) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective observational study which included pediatric patients <14 years of age, with newly diagnosed OS confirmed by histological diagnosis. Medical records of all patients were reviewed for clinical profile, treatment data, surgical management, and treatment complications. Patients alive at the end of treatment were followed up and overall (OAS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed. RESULTS Sixty-two patients were diagnosed with OS during the study of whom 55 opted for treatment. Cisplatin, adriamycin, and ifosfamide (PAI) was offered as chemotherapy and was completed as planned in the majority of patients. Limb salvage surgery was performed in most patients (87%, n = 40). The local recurrence occurred in 7 patients. The 3 years overall survival for the cohort was 54.6% ± 7.8% and DFS was 43.4% ± 7.9%, with females and those with the localized disease having a significantly better DFS. CONCLUSIONS High dose methotrexate free chemotherapy can give good OAS in localized disease and LSS is feasible in most of the pediatric OS patients. However the modest DFS even for localized disease with PAI chemotherapy and extremely poor outcomes in the metastatic OS, demand further research and innovations in systemic therapy to improve outcomes.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS), which affects adolescents especially during a growth spurt, has the highest incidence of any primary malignant bone tumour, and a high rate of early metastasis leading to a very poor prognosis. In recent years, non-coding RNAs, especially long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have attracted more and more attention as novel epigenetic regulators in a variety of tumours, including OS. Most recently, metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) was found to play an important role in OS progression by modulating the enhancers of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2). Furthermore, MALAT1 could inhibit the expression of E-cadherin and promote the expression of β-catenin, and this phenomenon might be the outcome of MALAT1-induced EZH2 activation. In this study, we investigated the vital function of MALAT1 in the progression of OS and its potential leading mechanism, altering the expression and localization of β-catenin via epigenetic transcriptional regulation by interacting with EZH2. With the help of MALAT1 silencing using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), the loss of E-cadherin of MNNG/HOS cells was rescued, and the abnormal expression and localization of β-catenin were corrected at the same time. Overall, our research showed promising potential for new treatment strategies based on epigenetic regulation targeting MALAT1, which will not only coordinate with the patient's immune system, but also eliminate OS in conjunction with chemotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current treatment of osteosarcoma includes surgical resection of all gross disease in conjunction with systemic chemotherapy to control micro-metastatic disease. This yields a 5-year event free survival (EFS) of approximately 70% for patients with localized osteosarcoma while patients with metastatic or recurrent disease fare poorly with overall survival rates of less than 20%. Areas covered: This review outlines the current and future approach towards the treatment of osteosarcoma. A literature search was performed utilizing PubMed. Several recent clinical trials are reviewed in detail, as is innovative research evaluating novel agents and surgical techniques which hold promise. Expert commentary: The outcome for patients with osteosarcoma has not changed in several decades. This plateau in survival rates highlights the need for a novel approach towards research. There remains a great deal of interest in utilizing the very high risk population of recurrent osteosarcoma patients to rapidly and sequentially evaluate novel agents to determine if any of these agents hold promise. Several phase II studies are ongoing or in development that offer hope based on intriguing preclinical data. Furthermore, initiatives in obtaining specimens to further explore the genetic and immunological profile behind osteosarcoma will be essential towards identifying novel pathways and targets to exploit.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Olaratumab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that blocks the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα). Its antagonistic behavior inhibits the receptor's tyrosine kinase activity, thereby, turning off the downstream signaling cascades responsible for soft tissue sarcoma tumorigenesis. In October 2016, olaratumab received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its use in combination with doxorubicin for treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma. Areas covered: This drug profile takes a comprehensive look at the clinical studies leading to FDA approval of olaratumab as well as its safety and efficacy as a front-line treatment option for sarcoma patients. The literature search was primarily conducted using PubMed. Expert commentary: The combination of olaratumab plus doxorubicin has provided a new front-line therapeutic option for soft tissue sarcoma patients. An open-label phase Ib and randomized phase II trial in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma demonstrated that the addition of olaratumab to doxorubicin prolonged progression-free survival by 2.5 months and overall survival by 11.8 months when compared to doxorubicin alone. Of importance, this clinically meaningful increase in overall survival did not come at the expense of a significantly greater number of toxicities. A phase III confirmatory trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT02451943) will be completed in 2020.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is an aggressive type of bone tumor that commonly occurs in pediatric age groups. The complete molecular mechanisms behind osteosarcoma formation and progression require elucidation. B7-H3 is a protein of the B7 family that acts as a co-stimulatory molecule with a significant role in adaptive immune responses. The link between B7-H3 expression and its role in different types of cancer remains unclear. B7-H3 protein exhibits different functional roles in in vivo and in vitro conditions that remain controversial. In the present study, a murine model of osteosarcoma was successfully established using a modified protocol so as to easily obtain a low grade and metastatic form of osteosarcoma tissue without complication. Histological data showed that a less organized and highly proliferative mass of cells was observed in the osteosarcoma tissue. A higher expression level of B7-H3 protein was also observed at each advanced stage of osteosarcoma, which indicated the contributory role of the protein in the development of the primary and metastatic forms of osteosarcoma. Immunohistochemistry was performed, which showed that the overexpression of B7-H3 protein in the metastatic form of osteosarcoma may be associated with its migration and invasion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapies (PDT) have become increasingly popular in the adjuvant treatment of different tumour entities. Chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin may be used in combination with low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as laser photochemotherapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of LLLT on cell bioviability of normal and malignant bone cells under chemotherapeutic conditions with either cisplatin or zolendronic acid in vitro. METHODS Primary human osteoblasts (HOB) and an osteosarcoma cell line (Saos-2) were treated with different concentrations of zolendronic acid or cisplatin and irradiated twice with a diode laser (wavelength 670 nm, 120 s, energy outputs of 100mW/cm2 , continuous wave mode). Cell viability was tested by XTT-assay and via histomorphological analysis. RESULTS LLLT alone increased bioviability for both cell lines. LLLT lowered HOB viability at the three highest concentrations of cisplatin and zolendronic acid. For Saos-2, LLLT reduced cell viability at every concentration of cisplatin. In cases of incubation with zolendronic acid, similar to osteoblasts, LLLT lowered cell viability at the highest concentration only. CONCLUSIONS Based on the conditions of this study, laser photochemotherapy may be able to raise the cytotoxicity of cisplatin and zolendronic acid in benign and malignant bone cells. This could be of interest in the development of new therapeutic treatment modalities against neoplastic bone diseases like osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) responds poorly to radiotherapy, but the mechanism is unclear. We found OS tumor tissues expressed high level of protein HIF-1α, a common biological marker indicative of hypoxia. It is known that hypoxic cells are generally radioresistant because of reduced production of irradiation-induced DNA-damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the anaerobic condition. Here we report another mechanism how hypoxia induces radioresistance. In MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells, hypoxic pretreatment increased the cellular survival in irradiation. These hypoxia-exposed cells displayed compartmental recruitment of GFP-tagged LC3 and expression of protein LC3-II, and restored the radiosensitivity upon autophagy inhibition. The following immunohistochemistry of OS tumor tissue sections revealed upregulated LC3 expression in a correlation with HIF-1α protein level, implying the possibly causative link between hypoxia and autophagy. Further studies in MG-63 cells demonstrated hypoxic pretreatment reduced cellular and mitochondrial ROS production during irradiation, while inhibition of autophagy re-elicited them. Taken together, our study suggests hypoxia can confer cells resistance to irradiation through activated autophagy to accelerate the clearance of cellular ROS products. This might exist in human osteosarcoma as an additional mechanism for radioresistance.

Abstract
Patients with osteosarcoma have poor prognosis and are often at high risk of death. Identification of prognostic biomarkers for osteosarcoma may aid in improving the survival. Hyperuricemia had been suggested as a poor prognostic factor of several cancers, but the prognostic role of hyperuricemia in osteosarcoma patients had not been assessed. In the present study, we investigated the prognostic role of hyperuricemia at baseline on the overall survival of patients with osteosarcoma. Sixty osteosarcoma patients with hyperuricemia were matched (1:2) to 120 osteosarcoma patients without hyperuricemia with similar age and gender. Data from those patients with osteosarcoma were evaluated retrospectively. The role of hyperuricemia on overall survival was firstly analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were also used to further evaluate the prognostic significance of hyperuricemia. None of the clinicopathological parameters except distant metastasis was associated with hyperuricemia. Kaplan-Meier method showed that patients with hyperuricemia had shorter overall survival compared with those with normouricemia (P < 0.0001, log-rank test). In univariate analysis, hyperuricemia was associated with poorer overall survival in osteosarcoma patients (HR = 2.71, 95 % CI 1.75-4.20; P < 0.0001). In the multivariate analysis, after adjusting for age, gender, serum alkaline phosphatase, stage, tumor size, and metastasis, hyperuricemia was independently associated with poorer overall survival in osteosarcoma patients (HR = 2.28, 95 % CI 1.41-3.69; P = 0.001). In conclusion, hyperuricemia at baseline is associated with poorer overall survival in osteosarcoma patients, and it has an adverse impact on the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients.

Abstract
Increased level of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) has been identified as an important prognostic factor in several types of cancers. However, the prognostic significance of serum CRP levels in patients with osteosarcoma was still unclear. A retrospective cohort study of 85 patients was performed to assess the prognostic significance of serum CRP level in osteosarcoma. Both log-rank test and multivariable analysis by Cox regression model were used to assess the impact of serum CRP levels on the overall survival in patients with osteosarcoma. Among those 85 patients, 28 (32.9 %) had high serum CRP level (>1 mg/dL), while the other 57 (67.1 %) patients had normal serum CRP level (≤ 1 mg/dL). There was no obvious difference in the baseline characteristics between high CRP group and normal CRP group. Kaplan-Meier product-limit method showed that patients with high serum CRP levels had significantly poorer overall survival than those patients with normal serum CRP levels (log-rank test P = 0.0008). Multivariable analysis by Cox regression model further showed that high serum CRP level was an independent predictor of poor overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.39; 95 % confidence interval [95 % CI] 1.22-4.67, P = 0.01). Thus, serum CRP level has an important prognostic significance in patients with osteosarcoma, and high CRP level is associated with worse overall survival.

Abstract
The prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma with distant metastasis and local recurrence remains poor. Increased expression of polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) in tumor tissue has been detected in various types of cancer. However, the clinical significance of pIgR in osteosarcoma has yet to be elucidated. The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of pIgR in patients with osteosarcoma following surgical resection. pIgR expression was assessed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis in cryopreserved osteosarcoma tissues from 22 patients, as well as using immunohistochemistry in paraffin-embedded osteosarcoma tissues from 136 patients. The association between pIgR expression, clinicopathological factors and long-term prognosis was retrospectively examined in these 136 patients. The prognostic significance of negative or positive pIgR expression in osteosarcoma was assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and log-rank tests. Univariate analysis indicated that patients with positive pIgR osteosarcoma tissue expression had a significantly worse overall survival (OS) compared with patients with negative pIgR osteosarcoma expression. Multivariate analysis revealed that positive pIgR expression in osteosarcoma tissues was an independent prognostic factor for OS following surgical resection (P<0.001). Furthermore, positive pIgR expression was significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with osteosarcoma. These findings indicate that pIgR may be a novel predictor for poor prognosis in patients with osteosarcoma following surgical resection.

Abstract
PURPOSE Analyze protein and gene expression of mGluRs (mGluR1, mGluR5, mGluR4) in osteosarcoma tissues and discuss the relation between expression level and clinical characteristics of osteosarcoma, and study the clinical significance. METHODS Detect protein and mRNA expression level of mGluRs (mGluR1, mGluR5, mGluR4) in 40 osteosarcoma tissues and the corresponding adjacent normal tissues by Western blot and RT-PCR accordingly. Immunohistochemistry was adopted to detect the expression of mGluRs (mGluR1, mGluR5, mGluR4) in 118 paraffin embedded osteosarcoma tissues and eight normal bone tissues. Then, the correlation between the expression and clinical characteristics of patients was analyzed. Furthermore, survival analysis of osteosarcoma was performed to study the relation between expression level of mGluRs and patient prognosis. RESULTS No correlation of mGluR1 and mGluR5 with clinicopathologic characteristics of osteosarcoma was found. Statistical analysis demonstrated that the expression level of mGluR4 shared no significant correlation with gender, age, histologic type and tumor location of patient, but was related to Enneking stage and tumor metastasis (P < 0.05). High mGluR4 expression is more frequently noted in the osteosarcoma tissues with higher Enneking stage and metastasis. The results of Western blot and RT-PCR indicated a significantly increased expression level of mGluR4 gene and protein in osteosarcoma tissues compared with normal tissues. Though higher gene and protein expression of mGluR5 and mGluR1 were also indicated in osteosarcoma tissues compared with normal tissues, no statistical significance was noted for the difference (P > 0.05). According to the survival analysis of 118 osteosarcoma patients, cases in the mGluR4 high-expression group showed inferior disease-free survival rate and poorer overall survival rate. CONCLUSION High expression of mGluR4 in osteosarcoma tissues is related to poor prognosis, thus holding certain reference value for estimating prognosis of osteosarcoma patients.

Abstract
Long-term outcome for patients with high-grade osteosarcoma has improved with the addition of systemic chemotherapy, but subsequent progress has been less marked. Modern, multiagent, dose-intensive chemotherapy in conjunction with surgery achieves a 5-year event-free survival of 60-70% in extremity localized, non-metastatic disease. A major, as yet unsolved, problem is the poor prognosis for metastatic relapse or recurrence, and for patients with axial disease. This article reviews the current state of the art of systemic osteosarcoma therapy by focusing on the experiences of cooperative osteosarcoma groups. Also, we shed light on questions and challenges posed by the aggressiveness of the tumor, and we consider potential future directions that may be critical to progress in the prognosis of high-grade osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Published studies researching the prognostic significance of ezrin expression in patients with osteosarcoma are inconclusive and heterogeneous. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess its prognostic value more precisely. The hazard ratios with corresponding 95 % confidence intervals were calculated to evaluate the effects. Five studies with 318 osteosarcoma patients were included to estimate the relationship between ezrin and disease-free survival, and ezrin and overall survival. Compared with osteosarcoma patients with low or negative ezrin expression, patients with high ezrin expression tended to be associated with lower disease-free survival, but the difference was not significant. However, patients with high ezrin expression were obviously associated with lower overall survival. Therefore, the findings from this systematic review suggest that ezrin expression is an effective biomarker of prognosis in patients with osteosarcoma.

Abstract
B7-H3 is a member of the B7-family of co-stimulatory molecules, which has been shown to be broadly expressed in various tumor tissues, and which plays an important role in adaptive immune responses. The role of B7-H3 in osteosarcoma, however, remains unknown. In this study we used immunohistochemistry to analyze B7-H3 expression in 61 primary osteosarcoma tissues with case-matched adjacent normal tissues, and 37 osteochondroma and 20 bone fibrous dysplasia tissues. B7-H3 expression was expressed in 91.8% (56/61) of the osteosarcoma lesions, and the intensity of B7-H3 expression in osteosarcoma was significantly increased compared with adjacent normal tissues, osteochondroma and bone fibrous dysplasia tissues (p<0.001). Patients with high tumor B7-H3 levels had a significantly shorter survival time and recurrence time than patients with low tumor B7-H3 levels (p<0.001). Moreover, tumor B7-H3 expression inversely correlated with the number of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells (p<0.05). In vitro, increasing expression of B7-H3 promotes osteosarcoma cell invasion, at least in part by upregulating matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2). In conclusion, our study provides the first evidence of B7-H3 expression in osteosarcoma cells as a potential mechanism controlling tumor immunity and invasive malignancy, and which is correlated with patients’ survival and metastasis.

Epirubicin-mediated expression of miR-302b is involved in osteosarcoma apoptosis and cell cycle regulation. Toxicol Lett 2013; 222:1-9.

Abstract
Epirubicin is widely used in osteosarcoma chemotherapy. Growing evidence indicates that the microRNA (miRNA) expression levels which are induced by chemotherapeutic agents play an important role in osteosarcoma development and progression. In this study we investigate the alterations of miRNA expression in the osteosarcoma cells after epirubicin treatment and whether miRNAs can enhance its anti-osteosarcoma effect. After epirubicin exposure, microarray shows 40 miRNAs are differentially expressed in osteosarcoma cells including 24 down-regulated miRNAs. Notably, miR-302b, which is stably low-expressed in osteosarcoma, could be induced by the epirubicin. Furthermore, we find that miR-302b can inhibit the osteosarcoma cell proliferation, promote cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest MiR-302b can activate caspase-3 and regulate the Akt/pAkt, Bcl-2, Bim expression to increase the cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, miR-302b also attenuates cyclin D1 and CDKs expression to induce cell cycle arrest. Therefore, our results suggest miR-302b can play an essential role in osteosarcoma treatment as a potential tumor suppressor.

Abstract
The aim of this retrospective, multicenter study was to evaluate clinicopathological characteristics, prognostic factors and treatment outcomes of teenage and adult patients with high-grade osteosarcoma. A total of 240 osteosarcoma patients who were diagnosed and treated from March 1995 to September 2011 were analyzed. Median age was 20 years (range 13-74 years), and 153 patients (63.8%) were male. Primary tumor localization was extremity in 204 patients (85.4 %), trunk in 21 patients (8.8%) and head and neck region in 14 patients (5.9%). According to American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system, 186 patients (77.5%) were stage II, 3 (1.3%) were stage III and 48 (20.0%) were stage IV. Median overall survival (OS) was 55 months (95 % CI 36.8-73.1 months). OS after 2, 5 and 10 years were 67, 49 and 42%, respectively. Univariable analysis for OS showed that male gender (p = 0.032), high baseline lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level (p < 0.001), high baseline serum alkaline phosphatase level (p = 0.002), telangiectatic subtype (p = 0.023), presence of metastasis at diagnosis (p < 0.001), presence of tumor positive margins after primary surgery (p = 0.015), poor pathological response to preoperative chemotherapy (p = 0.006) and presence of recurrent disease during follow-up period (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with poor survival. Patients who received postoperative methotrexate plus doxorubicin plus cisplatin (M + A + P) combination regimen (p = 0.019), underwent surgery for recurrent disease (p < 0.001) and received chemotherapy for recurrent disease (p < 0.001) had longer OS. In multivariable analysis for OS, only high LDH level (p = 0.002) and the presence of metastasis at diagnosis (p = 0.011) were associated with poor OS, whereas the patients who received chemotherapy for recurrent disease had a longer OS (p = 0.009).

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in the tumor angiogenesis, and its expression has been supposed to be a biomarker of prognosis in patients with osteosarcoma. There are many studies assessing the prognostic role of VEGF expression in osteosarcoma, and no consistent outcomes are reported. To provide a comprehensive assessment of the prognostic role of VEGF expression, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies. We assessed the effect of VEGF expression on the overall survival rate and the disease-free survival rate by calculating the pooled odds ratio (OR) with corresponding 95 % confidence interval (95 %CI). Finally, 12 studies with a total of 559 osteosarcoma patients were included into the systematic review and meta-analysis. Compared with osteosarcoma patients with low or negative VEGF expression, patients with high VEGF expression were obviously associated with lower disease-free survival (OR=0.25, 95 %CI 0.11-0.58, P=0.001, I (2) =56.4 %). In addition, patients with high VEGF expression were obviously associated with lower overall survival (OR=0.22, 95 %CI 0.13-0.35, P<0.001, I (2) =0.0 %). Therefore, the findings from this systematic review suggest that VEGF expression is an effective biomarker of prognosis in patients with osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract is a rare phenomenon (Horiuchi A, Watanabe Y, Yoshida M, et al.: Metastatic osteosarcoma in the jejunum with intussusception: report of a case. Surg Today 2007;37:440-2). Gastrointestinal metastases may cause intussusception, bowel obstruction, or hemorrhage (Horiuchi A, Watanabe Y, Yoshida M, et al.: Metastatic osteosarcoma in the jejunum with intussusception: report of a case. Surg Today 2007;37:440-2; Chondramohan K, Somanathan T, Kusamakumary P: Metastatic osteosarcoma causing intussusception. J Pediatr Surg 2003;38(E44):1-3; Hung GY, Chiou TJ, Hsieh YL, et al.: Intestinal metastasis causing intussusception in a patient treated for osteosarcoma with history of multiple metastases: a case report. Jpn J Clin Oncol 2001;31:165-167). We report a case of a 17 year old male with osteosarcoma metastatic to the stomach and ascending colon, causing significant chronic gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Surgical resection was performed due to persistent, symptomatic anemia. The patient is free of recurrent hemorrhage at 24months after metastectomy. Resection of gastrointestinal metastases of osteosarcoma offers good palliation of chronic hemorrhage related to these lesions.
