    Abstract Opinion statement: Osteosarcomas (OS) belong to a large family of mesenchymal tumor entities which exhibit heterogenous histological, genetic, and molecular features. Current OS treatment regimen consists of the combination of surgery and intensive multi-agent chemotherapy. Ever since the introduction of chemotherapy, 5-year survival rate among OS patients has improved to 60-75%. However, 30-35% of OS patients are associated with pulmonary metastasis and relapse, which have significantly poor prognosis, with an overall 5-year survival rate of about 20%. The fact that OS are both rare forms of cancer and highly heterogeneous may explain why patients' survival has not improved in the past three decades, especially for metastatic/relapsed and unresectable osteosarcomas. Patients who experience relapse with metastatic disease have limited therapeutic options, often receiving additional cytotoxic therapy such as ifosfamide and etoposide and/or carboplatin or gemcitabine plus docetaxel. Novel precise OS-targeted thrapies are being developed with the hope of improving metastatic/relapsed OS prognosis. This review provides an overview of the most updated targeted therapies in relapsed/metastatic osteosarcoma and dicusses some clinical options in order to improve progression-free survival.

    Abstract Intradural Extraosseous Ewing sarcoma (IEES) is an infrequent occurrence. We report a case of a 66-year-old male who presented with a 2-month history of low back pain and bilateral S1 sciatica, with acute sphincter dysfunction. Imaging studies revealed an intradural extramedullary lesion in the cauda equina spanning from level L4 to S1. The patient underwent partial removal of the intradural lesion. Histopathological examination showed the presence of small round cells, which were consistent with Ewing Sarcoma. The patient was then treated with targeted radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The rarity of IEES in this specific location underscores the significance of evaluating and managing patients with intradural spinal tumors with careful consideration of this diagnosis. To further investigate this condition, we conducted a thorough review of the literature on IEES involving the lumbar spine and cauda equina. Our analysis revealed that patients with this condition frequently exhibit rapidly progressive neurological symptoms likely attributed to hemorrhagic transformation. This characteristic may serve as a distinguishing factor from other lesion types, particularly benign ones. Our study provides a comprehensive summary that can offer direction for clinical management in comparable uncommon and novel cases.

    Abstract Desmoid tumors (DT) are rare benign tumors with a local invasion potential and recurrence. It is characterized on histology by an abnormal fibroblastic proliferation in a collagenous stroma, in variable proportions leading to heterogeneity of the lesion signal on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Current guidelines propose watchful waiting but in case of progression or symptoms, cryotherapy may be a therapeutic option in its extra-abdominal form. Tumor recurrence is mostly detected based on post-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although DWI sequence is the key-sequence for tumor detection in oncologic imaging, there are very few data in literature on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in DT generally and even fewer on DT after cryotherapy. DWI changes after cryotherapy may be confusing and suspicious of residual tumor or tumor recurrence when displaying low ADC values; thus knowledge of possible DWI patterns after cryotherapy of DT seem paramount. We found that the early changes of DT after cryotherapy are hyperintensity on DWI sequence with low ADC values (<1.00 × 10

    Abstract Objectives: To explore cancer patients' experience of pain and coping strategies as well as beliefs and representations associated with pain, pain management and treatments.
    Method and participants: A qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews was conducted among 16 patients with cancer. The inductive research strategy adopted derived from the Grounded Theory approach and the data transcribed verbatim were gradually analyzed involving researcher triangulation.
    Findings: The experience of pain and the coping strategies developed by patients to deal with it are shaped by the experience and representations of cancer associated with death and suffering. Pain acts both as an indication to the patients that they are still alive and as an indicator of the progression of the disease. Cancer also models patients' relationships to analgesic treatments and health care providers, since pain is an area in which patients can take back control of what is happening to them. Patients' expression of reluctance to accept analgesic treatments is also influenced by the significance of opioid treatments in this context, which are perceived as an indication that the end of life is close.
    Conclusions: The contextualization of pain through the particularities of cancer is critical in order to understand cancer patients' experience of pain.
    Implications for psychosocial providers: Not only patients' knowledge but also the meaning-making of pain should be incorporated in interventions targeting pain management.

    Abstract Opinion statement: Sarcomas are a rare group of tumors with many subtypes, conventionally classified into soft-tissue sarcomas and bone sarcomas. Chemotherapeutic regimens form the mainstay of systemic therapy but are not well defined beyond the first-line setting and clinical outcomes are variable. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), with a broad inhibition profile which have been shown to target tumor angiogenesis, have an established role in the treatment of sarcomas without characteristic driver alterations. One such TKI, regorafenib, has been evaluated in sarcomas and clinical data are discussed in this review. An overview of regorafenib data from five phase 2 and one phase 1b clinical trials in over 10 sarcoma subtypes (both soft-tissue and bone) in adult and pediatric patients is reviewed. Regorafenib demonstrated clinical benefit in patients with non-adipocytic soft-tissue sarcomas, osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma who had progressed on prior therapy. Patients with otherwise limited treatment options may therefore benefit from regorafenib therapy.

    Abstract High-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (HGESS) and uterine undifferentiated sarcoma (UUS) are rare uterine malignancies arising from mesenchymal endometrial cells. They are characterized by aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. Median age of diagnostic is 55years. The most common symptoms are vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and pelvic mass. Approximately 65 % are diagnosed witch advance disease stage III or IV according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics classification. Median overall survival is around 20months. The management of the disease must be discussed in multidisciplinary staff meetings. The standard management of HGESS and UUS is total hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy. Systematic lymphadenectomy is not recommended. Adjuvant therapies, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy must be discussed. In case of oligo-metastasic disease, surgery of the primary tumor and metastasis must be discussed and if not operable the standard management is doxorubine-based chemotherapy.
