Chordoma is a rare bone cancer with variable clinical outcomes. Here, we recruited 184 sporadic chordoma patients from the US and Canada and collected their clinical and treatment data. The average age at diagnosis was 45.5 years (Range 5-78) and the chordoma site distribution was 49.2% clivus, 26.2% spinal, and 24.0% sacral. Most patients (97.5%) ...

BACKGROUND: Early palliative/pre-emptive intervention improves clinical outcomes and quality of life for patients with metastatic cancer. A previous signal-seeking randomized controlled trial (RCT) demonstrated that early upfront radiotherapy to asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic high-risk osseous metastases led to reduction in skeletal-related ...

PurposeTo improve the performance of less experienced clinicians in the diagnosis of benign and malignant spinal fracture on MRI, we applied the ResNet50 algorithm to develop a decision support system.MethodsA total of 190 patients, 50 with malignant and 140 with benign fractures, were studied. The visual diagnosis was made by one senior MSK radiol...

INTRODUCTION: To describe the pattern of the use of advanced radiation therapy (RT) techniques, including intensity-modulated RT (IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and stereotactic body RT (SBRT) for the management of bone metastases (BM), and the associated factors in Victoria. METHODS: We used a population-based cohort of patients f...

BackgroundSpinal cord dose limits are critically important for the safe practice of spine stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). However, the effect of inherent spinal cord motion on cord dose in SBRT is unknown.ObjectiveTo assess the effects of cord motion on spinal cord dose in SBRT.MethodsDynamic balanced fast field echo (BFFE) magnetic resonanc...

ABSTRACT Objective To compare Tokuhashi and Tomita scores in patients with epidural spinal metastasis who underwent surgical treatment. Methods A retrospective evaluation of 103 patients with spinal metastasis and epidural compression who underwent surgical treatment. An analysis was performed of agreement between the survival rates observed in the...

To investigate the correlation of parameters measured by dynamic-contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and 18F-FDG PET/CT in spinal tumors, and their role in differential diagnosis. A total of 49 patients with pathologically confirmed spinal tumors, including 38 malignant, six benign and five borderline tumors, were analyzed. The MRI and PET/CT were done...

ABSTRACT Objective Primary and secondary spine tumors occur frequently and treating them surgically has gained prominence. The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcomes and complications in a series of patients with primary and secondary vertebral tumors treated by en bloc vertebral resection. Methods A retrospective review of the patien...

PURPOSE:To differentiate metastatic lesions in the spine originated from primary lung cancer and other cancers using radiomics and deep learning, compared to traditional hot-spot ROI analysis. METHODS:In a retrospective review of clinical spinal MRI database with a dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) sequence, a total of 61 patients without prior cance...
