TL;DR: Tumor size predicts disease-specific survival in patients with primary disease who undergo complete gross resection and investigational protocols are indicated to reduce the rate of recurrence after resections and to improve the outcome for patients with GIST.
Abstract: ObjectiveTo analyze the outcome of 200 patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) who were treated at a single institution and followed up prospectively.Summary Background DataA GIST is a visceral sarcoma that arises from the gastrointestinal tract. Surgical resection is the mainstay of tre
TL;DR: Osteosarcoma, which is the most common primary bone tumor, occurs most frequently in adolescents, but there is a second incidence peak among individuals aged >60 years, and direct comparisons among patients of all ages and ethnicities are not available.
Abstract: Background
Osteosarcoma, the most common primary bone tumor, occurs most frequently in adolescents, but a second incidence peak among individuals over age 60 exists. Most osteosarcoma epidemiology studies have been embedded in large analyses of all bone tumors, or focused on cases occurring in adolescence. Detailed descriptions of osteosarcoma incidence and survival specifically, with direct comparisons among subjects of all ages and ethnicities, are not available.
