Factors Influencing the Outcome of Patients with Primary Ewing Sarcoma of the Sacrum
CONCLUSION: Young age seems to positively influence patients` survival, especially in patients with primary metastatic disease. In this context, our results support other studies, stating that older age has a negative impact on survival. Tumor volume, metastases, and the type of local therapy modality have an impact on the outcome of sacral EwS. Level of evidence: Level 2. This trial is registered with NCT00020566 and NCT00987636.PMID:38524902 | PMC:PMC10960648 | DOI:10.1155/2024/4751914 (Source: Sarcoma)

Exploring the Diagnostic Dilemma of Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules in Patients with Primary Sarcoma of Bone
CONCLUSION: Indeterminate pulmonary nodules are common on staging CT scans in patients with a bone sarcoma. The presence or absence of these indeterminate nodules was not predictive of progression to true metastatic disease in this cohort. However, the development of indeterminate nodules on surveillance imaging was associated with progression to metastatic disease with the size and number of nodules being important factors.PMID:38476458 | PMC:PMC10932623 | DOI:10.1155/2024/9926675 (Source: Sarcoma)

Progressive Improvement in 5-Year Survival Rates for Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcomas from 1999 to 2019
CONCLUSIONS: The 5-year overall survival rate for ESTS progressively improved over the 20-year study period, perhaps due to an increasing proportion of older patients diagnosed with local disease. These findings may also be related to earlier detection or more effective treatment over the study period.PMID:38410124 | PMC:PMC10896649 | DOI:10.1155/2024/8880609 (Source: Sarcoma)
