New research

  1. Incidence patterns and trends of chordoma in the United States: a population-based analysis of over 6,000 cases.

    Journal of Bone Oncology · Aug 2026 · PubMed

    Chordoma incidence is rising 1.47% annually in the US, varies by sex, race, and location, and distant-stage sacral tumors carry the worst survival at 38.3% at 5 years.

  2. Primary osseous chest wall sarcomas: Oncological and surgical outcomes in a large single-institution cohort of 100 patients.

    Journal of Bone Oncology · Aug 2026 · PubMed

    For primary osseous chest wall sarcomas, R0 resection is the strongest survival predictor, with 5-year OS of 85% for chondrosarcoma, 67% Ewing, and only 38% for osteosarcoma.

  3. Lapatinib induces ferroptosis in osteosarcoma via the SLC1A5-GPX4 axis.

    Journal of Bone Oncology · Aug 2026 · PubMed

    Lapatinib induces ferroptosis in osteosarcoma via the SLC1A5-GPX4 axis in lab and mouse models, providing preclinical rationale for drug repurposing.

  4. Fertility Outcomes in 104 Consecutive Pediatric and Young Adult High-Grade Osteosarcoma Survivors Followed Over a 45-Year Period.

    Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons · Jul 01 2026 · PubMed

    Pediatric and young adult osteosarcoma survivors have high natural fertility rates comparable to the general population, reassuring patients and families during treatment counseling.

  5. Comparative analysis of pelvic/sacral versus vertebral chordomas in the US from 2000 to 2020.

    European Spine Journal · Jun 20 2026 · PubMed

    Vertebral chordoma location independently worsens survival on multivariate analysis despite similar unadjusted 5-year survival compared to pelvic/sacral chordomas, with surgery improving outcomes at both sites.

  6. Distinguishing characteristics of carpal osteoid osteoma versus osteoblastoma: a comparative study.

    Journal of Hand Surgery (European) · Jun 18 2026 · PubMed

    Worsening night pain, NSAID relief, small lesion size, and high mineralization suggest carpal osteoid osteoma, while large lesion-to-carpal ratio favors osteoblastoma, aiding diagnosis without biopsy.

  7. Long-term Oncologic Outcomes After Unplanned Soft Tissue Sarcoma Surgery: Implications for Surveillance Strategies.

    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research · Jun 12 2026 · PubMed

    Unplanned soft tissue sarcoma excision independently worsened long-term survival and local recurrence, with differences emerging after 10 years, supporting extended surveillance.

  8. Development and Internal Evaluation of EAST-BMS (East Asian Survival Tool for Bone Metastasis Surgery): A Multinational Machine-learning Survival Prediction Model for Patients Undergoing Surgery for Nonspinal Bone Metastasis in East Asia.

    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research · May 22 2026 · PubMed

    The East Asian EAST-BMS machine-learning tool predicts postoperative survival in nonspinal bone metastasis surgery with better calibration than the Western SORG model for this population.

Recent reviews

  1. The Role of Denosumab in the Treatment of Primary Tumors of Bone.

    Journal of Hand Surgery (American) · Sep 2023 · PubMed

    Hand surgeons treating benign bone tumors should know denosumab can reduce pain, shrink tumor volume, and address lung metastases, even without an oncology referral.

  2. Prophylactic antibiotics for massive endoprostheses in orthopaedic oncology.

    The Bone & Joint Journal · Aug 01 2023 · PubMed

    The PARITY trial showed no benefit of extending antibiotic prophylaxis beyond 24 hours for tumor endoprostheses, though antibiotic choice questions remain, especially regarding cephalosporins.

  3. Impact of Patient and Tumor Characteristics on Range of Motion and Recurrence Following Treatment of Enchondromas of the Hand.

    Journal of Hand Surgery (American) · May 2023 · PubMed

    Curettage with cancellous allograft achieves full range of motion in 81% of hand enchondromas; pathologic fracture, Ollier disease, and giant form lesions predict worse outcomes.
