Consequences of local recurrence of soft tissue sarcoma : 205 patients from the Scandinavian Sarcoma Group register

From the Scandinavian Sarcoma Group Register, information on 1,224 surgically-treated patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the extremity or trunk wall, diagnosed between 1987 and 1995, was collected. 205 patients, one third of whom were referred to a center with a local recurrence, had a total of 284 local recurrences. This analysis describes the treatment for these local recurrences, compli

The Harrington reconstruction for advanced periacetabular metastatic destruction : Good outcome in 32 patients

We report the outcome in 32 patients operated on for advanced periacetabular metastatic destruction, where all but 2 had Harrington class III destruction. The patients were operated on using the Harrington reconstruction technique, where threaded pins and cement and a total hip replacement are used to reconstruct the acetabulum and ilium. The median survival was 11 (0-106+) months. 13 patients liv

Clinical course in synovial sarcoma : A Scandinavian sarcoma group study of 104 patients

We analyzed treatment and outcome in 104 Scandinavian patients with synovial sarcoma in the extremities or trunk wall, diagnosed between 1986 and 1994. Only surgically treated patients without metastases at diagnosis were included. Median follow-up of survivors was 6 (3-11) years. 34 patients developed metastases. The overall 5- and 7-year survival rates were 0.76 (95% Cl 0.66-0.83) and 0.69 (0.58

Recurrent t(16;17)(q22;p13) in aneurysmal bone cysts

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign bone lesion for which no previous cytogenetic data exist. We describe the finding of clonal chromosome aberrations in three tumors; two had a t(16;17)(q22;p13) as the sole anomaly, and the third had a del(16)(q22) as the only change. These findings show that somatic mutations contribute to the development of ABC and furthermore indicate that bands 16q22 and 1

Urokinase-plasminogen-activator levels and prognosis in 69 soft-tissue sarcomas

The local and systemic invasiveness of soft-tissue sarcomas may depend upon an interaction between the primary tumour and the extracellular matrix in which the proteolytic enzyme, urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), may have an important role. We analyzed the expression of uPA in soft-tissue sarcoma using a luminescent immunoassay technique; and examined the relationships between different uPA

Expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Ki‐67 in soft tissue sarcoma. Is prognostic significance histotype‐specific?

Abnormal patterns of proliferation characterize the behavior of many tumors. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Ki‐67 are two cell cycle antigens which are expressed in proliferative states. Our study examines the prognostic value of these cell‐cycle antigens in soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Paraffin‐embedded primary tumor tissues from 185 patients (1980–92) were stained with the anti‐PCNA
