RESUMO

In 2015, the ATA updated the guidelines to advocate for a lobectomy for tumors <1.0 â€‹cm and total thyroidectomy for tumors >4.0 â€‹cm. Treatment for tumors of intermediate size 1.0-4.0 â€‹cm is dependent on high-risk characteristics. There is limited research comparing the impact of the updated ATA guidelines on clinical practice on intermediate-sized tumors. In this study, the impact of the 2015 ATA guidelines on the surgical treatment of intermediated-sized FTC will be evaluated using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. A total of 9983 patients were included; 7769 patients (74.1 â€‹%) were diagnosed pre-ATA guidelines and 2709 patients (25.9 â€‹%) post-ATA guidelines. The mean rate of lobectomy for intermediate-sized tumors was 22.1 â€‹% which increased to 33.4 â€‹% post-ATA updates. The results of the logistic regression showed the rate of lobectomy increased significantly in the post-ATA changes period (p â€‹< â€‹0.001). Future research could benefit from evaluating how these trends impact patient outcome measures.

RESUMO

Background Osteosarcoma (OSC) is the most common primary bone tumor and is often managed surgically. Few prior investigations have assessed differences in OSC survival by specific surgical techniques at a national registry level. We sought to compare survival based on surgical subtypes for OSC patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Methodology We searched the SEER database for malignant OSCs diagnosed between 2000 and 2019 which were surgically managed. Separate survival comparisons were made for one and five years for wide excision (local tumor destruction or resection versus partial resection) and radical excision (radical resection with limb-sparing versus limb amputation with or without girdle resection). Results A total of 4,303 patients were included, of whom 3,587 were surgically managed. There were no survival differences between local destruction and partial resection (hazard ratio = 0.826, p = 0.303). However, younger age, lower staging, and management without radiation were associated with improved survival. The radical excision comparison showed limb amputation was associated with worse survival than limb-sparing surgery (hazard ratio = 1.531, p < 0.001). Younger age, female sex, lower stage, receipt of chemotherapy, and neoadjuvant plus adjuvant chemotherapy were associated with improved survival while Black and American Indian or Alaska Native were associated with worse survival. Conclusions Our findings show that patients managed with limb-sparing radical resection survived significantly compared to limb amputation. There were no differences in survival for wide excision surgeries. The use of a combination of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy also yields improved survival. OSC survival may be optimized with limb-sparing surgery with a combination of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy.

RESUMO

Background/Objectives: Palliative care (PC) has been associated with reduced patient symptom burden, improved physician satisfaction, and reduced cost of care. However, its use in primary bone tumors has not been well classified. Design/Setting and Subjects: Patients diagnosed with primary malignant bone tumors (osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and chordoma) between 2004 and 2018 were identified in the National Cancer Database. Cross tabulations with chi-square analysis were performed to evaluate frequencies of PC use by patient, facility, and tumor characteristics. Multivariate logistic binary regression was performed to evaluate relationships between patient, treatment facility, and tumor characteristics and the use of PC. Results: Around 24,401 patients were identified. Overall, 2.52% had any form of PC utilization. Of those receiving PC, 55.5-65.1% were treated with only noncurative surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or any combination of these modalities. Odds of PC utilization were decreased for patients with chordomas, patients living >24 miles from the treatment facility, or patients with private insurance, Medicare, or unknown insurance status. Odds of PC utilization were increased in patients with greater tumor diameter or unknown tumor size, tumors in midline, increased tumor grade, stage IV tumors, or living in urban areas. Conclusion: PC use in patients with primary bone tumors increases with tumor stage, tumor grade, tumor size, and if the tumor is midline, and in patients living in urban areas. However, overall utilization remains markedly low. Future studies should be done to investigate these patterns of care and help expand the utilization of PC.
