Bert Uwe Drechsel
Conclusions: Low BMI at study entry for patients with
localized osteosarcoma receiving neo-adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with an increased risk of wound infection or wound slough after delayed definitive surgery
Future studies should evaluate whether correction of malnutrition reduces the risk of surgical complication

Qqqqqq
This study measured BMI at start of Rx – did you look at change in BMI as a more potent cause of problems – eg the underweight child who loses weight?
Were wound problems related to toxicity of chemotherapy?
Royal Brompton Hospital Pulmonary Metastasectomy for Sarcoma

Royal Brompton Hospital Pulmonary Metastasectomy for Sarcoma
Objectives and Methods
Prolonged survival following pulmonary metastasectomy is well documented. However, the presence of a pleural effusion raises concerns as to the suitability of aggressive treatment. The prognostic significance of such effusions has not been addressed.
Retrospective assessment of 105 consecutive patients operated on by a single surgeon undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy for sarcomatous disease between 01/01/95 and 31/03/2007 was undertaken. Kaplan-Meier methods, Log-rank test and Cox regression models were utilised to compare survival.
Royal Brompton Hospital Pulmonary Metastasectomy for Sarcoma
Results and Conclusions 105 patients underwent 157 metastasectomy procedures. Operative mortality was 0%.
Operative mortality was 51.7% at 5 years and 46.7% at 10 years. A pleural effusion was
present pre-operatively in 11 of 105 patients. In 7 patients the effusion was haemorrhagic.
The presence of a pleural effusion, did not affect prognosis (HR 1.44 (CI: 0.61-3.4, p=0.408)).
Moreover, a haemorrhagic pleural effusion did not influence survival (HR 1.49 (CI: 0.53-4.17,
p=0.447)). We suggest that the presence of a pleural effusion
should not preclude patients from undergoing pulmonary
metastasectomy.

Qqqqq
Was surgical technique any different for patients with a pleural effusion?
Did the surgeon find pleural metastases more commonly in these cases?
If a pleural metastasis was found ‘stuck’ to the chest wall – was the chest wall resected ‘en bloc’?

ConclusionsConclusions
Predictors of poor outcome Race (Hispanic worse) Gender (males worse) Non-pulmonary sites of disease High alkaline phosphatase, LDH
− Number of pulmonary nodules did not appear to predict poor outcome ? Significance ? Explanation
The pattern seen in the metastatic cohort was similar to the non-metastatic cohort with the same reduction in the relative risk of death associated with the addition of L-MTP-PE to conventional chemotherapy, but the improvement did not reach conventional levels of statistical significance
Qqqqqqq
Did surgical operability effect prognosis

Sentinel node biopsy in soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities - Discussion
• up to date there is no validated, non-invasive method to assess regional lymph node status in patients with soft tissue sarcoma
• SN-biopsy can be successfully and safely applied
• further prospective studies are required to determine the clinical relevance and the prognostic significance of SN-biopsy in soft tissue sarcoma

The Functional Consequence of Femoral Nerve Resection in the Thigh
Kevin B. Jones*†, Soha Riad*, Anthony M. Griffin*, Benjamin Deheshi*, Robert S. Bell*, Peter C. Ferguson*, Jay S. Wunder*
*University Musculoskeletal Oncology Unit, Mount Sinai and Princess Margaret Hospitals, University of Toronto. †Sarcoma Services, Huntsman Cancer Institute and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Utah.
Findings
• 10 patients retrospectively identified from a prospective sarcoma database had undergone complete femoral nerve ablation during soft tissue sarcoma resection.
• Compared to sciatic nerve resection patients, a non-nerve-involved thigh sarcoma control group, and a gender-matched control group, TESS, MSTS1987, and MSTS1993 trended toward worse outcomes among the 10 patients with femoral nerve resection. Statistical significance was not reached.
• 6 of the 10 patients suffered a total of 8 fractures following complete femoral nerve resection, many in the contralateral limb, due to frequent falls.

*University Musculoskeletal Oncology Unit, Mount Sinai and Princess Margaret Hospitals, University of Toronto. †Sarcoma Services, Huntsman Cancer Institute and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Utah.
Relevance
• Sciatic nerve resection in the thigh changed from a categorical indication for amputation to an undertaking compatible with limb salvage when functional outcomes were carefully studied.
• In contrast, it appears that the functional morbidity of femoral nerve resection may have been under-estimated in the absence of nerve-specific outcomes data, perhaps because complete extensor power ablation is somewhat commonly associated with distal femur resection and reconstruction in the sarcoma world, but the effects are there mitigated by implant hyperextension.
• Functional outcomes, as well as fall-preventive interventions, following femoral nerve resection for soft tissue sarcoma merit further attention and study, as do other nerve-specific functional outcomes.
Qqqqqqq
• Did any of the patients have a brace?
• Did any have a tendon graft?
• Anyone know a good reconstruction following excision of the femoral nerve?
