Article Abstract
We studied 13 consecutive patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas of the hand and wrist. Chondrosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, synovial sarcoma and epithelioid sarcoma were the most frequent histological diagnoses. Limb-sparing surgery was performed in ten patients but eventually three patients required an amputation. Surgical margins were wide in nine patients and marginal in four. Adjuvant therapy for nine patients consisted of chemotherapy in five and chemotherapy with radiation in four. Local recurrence occurred in two patients with epithelioid sarcoma. There was no significant relationship between surgical margin and local recurrence. Distant metastasis occurred in four patients. The 5-year survival rate was 66%. The mean functional score was 87%. Our study indicates that treatment consisting of resection of these tumours with either a wide margin or a marginal margin followed by adjuvant radiation appeared to be safe and resulted in an acceptable degree of limb function except in the patients with epithelioid sarcoma.

Background: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) has been proven to be a safe and effective alternative to surgery in patients with metastatic primary sarcoma. However, data describing tumor response in relation to the given radiotherapy dose is lacking. Therefore, this study aims at analyzing efficacy and dose-response relationship in a retrospective cohort.

Background: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a prevalent soft tissue sarcoma subtype associated with poor prognosis. Current prognostic tools lack the ability to incorporate personalized data for predicting survival. Machine learning (ML) offers a potential solution to enhance survival prediction accuracy.

Objective: To evaluate multiparametric MRI features of pediatric soft-tissue sarcomas, comparing pre-treatment and post-treatment features, and assessing correlation with clinical outcomes.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective cohort study, including pediatric patients (≤ 18 years) with histologically-confirmed soft-tissue sarcomas who underwent MRI with anatomic and functional sequences in consecutive series. Post-treatment MRI was available for a subset, and features were recorded by two readers.

Objectives: In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), non-invasive alternatives to biopsy-dependent driver mutation analysis are needed. We reviewed the effectiveness of radiomics alone or with clinical data and assessed the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) models in predicting oncogene mutation status.
Materials And Methods: A PRISMA-compliant literature review for studies predicting oncogene mutation status in NSCLC patients using radiomics was conducted by a multidisciplinary team.
