Potential treatment option discovered for children with Ewing’s sarcoma
Combining two anti-tumor agents appears to increase the sensitivity of cancer cells to these drugs and seems to lead to more effective Ewing’s sarcoma treatment.
Bone Cancer
Patients with rare bone cancer still have low survival rates
Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma remains classified among the more deadly cancer types.
Zoledronic acid (Zometa)
This slideshow reviews zoledronic acid (Zometa), indicated for pain reduction associated with bone metastases, hypercalcemia of malignancy, and osteolytic lesions of multiple myeloma.
Potential therapeutic strategy against a very aggressive children’s bone cancer
Inhibiting the protein Sirtuin1 could play a part in fighting Ewing sarcoma, a common bone cancer in adolescents and children.
Single genetic abnormality important in Ewing sarcoma
Better understanding of the two distinct processes at the heart of the genetic abnormality driving Ewing sarcoma development could lead to new, more effective therapies.
PRM-151 therapy well tolerated by patients with advanced myelofibrosis
The compound PRM-151 (PRM) has shown success in reducing progressive bone marrow fibrosis in patients with advanced myelofibrosis.
Ortho-oncology team achieves successful hip articulation by repurposing a shoulder surgical aid
A shoulder surgical aid, known as the Spider Limb Positioner, was adapted successfully to conduct a left hip disarticulation on a patient with melanoma.
Calcium isotope analysis predicts myeloma progression
Researchers believe that a staple of Earth science research can be used in biomedical settings to predict the course of disease.
First-of-its-kind study shows higher concentration of trace elements in bone cancer
Researchers investigating the distribution of trace elements in the tissue of bone tumors found that tumor tissue contains higher concentrations of trace elements, which could be a starting point in the development of targeted therapies for bone cancer.
New type of whole body scan could improve treatment of bone marrow cancer
A new type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, known as diffusion-weighted MRI, could improve care for myeloma and reduce reliance on bone marrow biopsies.
