Bone cancers are characterised by the development of tumour cells in bone sites, associated with a dysregulation of their environment. In the last two decades, numerous therapeutic strategies have been developed to target the cancer cells or tumour niche. As the crosstalk between these two entities
Induction of matrix maturation and mineralization in calcified tissues is important for patients with primary bone tumors and other bone deficiencies, e.g., osteoporosis. For the former it signifies a better prognosis in osteosarcoma, and for the latter it might improve bone remodeling. In the
OBJECTIVE
To present recent concepts on the molecular pathogenesis of tumors of soft tissue and bone, and on the use of molecular genetic methods, including their significance as diagnostic markers and prognostic indicators.
METHODS
Reports on tumors of bone and/or soft tissue published in the
Osteosarcoma (OS) and Ewing sarcoma (ES) are the two most common types of primary bone cancer, which mainly affect children and young adults. Despite intensive multi-modal treatment, the survival of both OS and ES has not improved much during the last decades and new therapeutic options are awaited.
OBJECTIVE
Osteosarcoma is an aggressive primary bone cancer characterized by expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and its cognate receptor. Coexpression of the growth factor and receptor suggests their role in autocrine or paracrine growth mechanisms. It has been reported previously
Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common primary bone tumor in dogs and the guarded prognosis highlights the necessity to find new treatments. Masitinib mesylate is a highly selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor that predominantly targets c-Kit and PDGFR-α/β. This study evaluated the in-vitro activity of
Wnt5b, a member of Wnt family, plays multiple roles in tumor progression and metastasis. However, whether Wnt5b contributes to the sensitization of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons and pathogenesis of bone cancer pain still remains unclear. Here, we found that the protein expression of Wnt5b and
Osteosarcoma (OS), a highly aggressive primary bone tumor, belongs to the most common solid tumors in growing children. Since specific molecular targets for OS treatment remain to be identified, surgical resection combined with multimodal (neo-)adjuvant chemotherapy is still the only way to help
Tumor cells frequently metastasize to bone where they can generate cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) that can be difficult to fully control using available therapies. Here, we explored whether PLX3397, a high-affinity small molecular antagonist that binds to and inhibits phosphorylation of
Common cancers, including cancers of the breast, lung, and prostate, frequently metastasize to multiple bones where they can cause significant and life-altering pain. Similar to cancer itself, the factors that drive bone cancer pain evolve and change with disease progression. Once cancer cells have
BACKGROUND
As chondrosarcomas are resistant to chemotherapy and ionizing radiation, therapeutic options are limited. Radical surgery often cannot be performed. Therefore, additional therapies such as antiangiogenesis represent a promising strategy for overcoming limitations in chondrosarcoma
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents, with highly aggressive behavior and early systemic metastasis. The survival rates for osteosarcoma remain unchanged over the past two decades. Studies aiming to find new or alternative therapies for patients
Canine osteosarcoma, an aggressive cancer with early distant metastasis, shows still despite good chemotherapy protocols poor long term survival. The aim of our study was to determine whether sorafenib, a novel multikinase inhibitor, has any effect on D-17 canine osteosarcoma cells. A cell
We present the first reported case showing metastatic giant bone cell tumor being treated successfully with pembrolizumab after failing prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. Of note, the patient developed multiple systemic effects associated with checkpoint inhibitor use. One year after starting
