Background: Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are a group of neoplasms, which, despite current therapeutic advances, still confer a poor outcome to half of the patients. As other solid tumors, STSs exhibit high glucose consumption rates, associated with worse prognosis and therapeutic response. As highly glycolytic tumors, we hypothesized that sarcomas should present an increased expression of lactate transporters (M...
The authors report on the case of a 28-year-old patient with extensive chondrosarcoma of the left ischium and pubis involving hip joint, skin, and soft tissue of the gluteal region, secondary to hereditary multiple exostosis submitted to an extended internal Enneking type II and Ill hemipelvectomy. No prosthesis or arthrodesis was used. A few years ago, patients with extensive tumors like this one were treated ...
The therapeutic and prognostic evaluation of malignant neoplasias depends largely upon a precise morphologic diagnosis. Several papers have focused on the importance of fine-needle aspiration under computed tomography guidance in the diagnosis of unresectable neoplasms and in the investigation of metastases. The objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy, the sensitivity, and the negative pr...
