AbstractBackgroundDue to the rarity of primary bone tumors, precise radiologic diagnosis often requires an experienced musculoskeletal radiologist. In order to make the diagnosis more precise and to prevent the overlooking of potentially dangerous conditions, artificial intelligence has been continuously incorporated into medical practice in recent decades. This paper reviews some of the most promising systems developed, including those for diagnosis of primary and secondary bone tumors, breast, lung and colon neoplasms.ConclusionsAlthough there is still a shortage of long-term studies confirming its benefits, there is probably a considerable potential for further development of computer-based expert systems aiming at a more efficient diagnosis of bone and soft tissue tumors.

Objective- To assess osteosarcoma epidemiology in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital. Material and Methods- This study is a retrospective descriptive study with a crosssectional approach. Patient with musculoskeletal tumour (especially osteosarcoma) in Haji Adam Malik Hospital from January 2012 to Desember 2017 period, got their age, gender, musculoskeletal tumour type, biopsy result, tumour sites, treatment completion, metastasis and amputation status recorded from their medical record. Result-Primary bone tumors is the most cases and found in 50% of musculoskeletal tumors followed by soft tissue tumors and metastatic bone disease. Male (60%) have slightly higher prevalence than female in (40%). The incidence of primary bone tumors shows osteosarcoma, GCT, and osteochondroma are in the top three with 63%, 13%, and 6% respectively. Specifically for osteosarcoma, male and female have 1.9 : 1 prevalence ratio. The most common sites for osteosarcoma is distal the femur (45%) and proximal tibia (29%). About 63% of patients undergo complete treatment and with 55% recorded with metastasis in the first diagnosis and amputation was performed in 89% of patients. Conclusion- Primary bone tumors dominate the data with 50% for musculoskeletal tumors followed by 31% soft tissue tumors and 19% metastatic bone disease. The incidence of musculoskeletal tumors shows that men are slightly higher than women in 60% and 40%. The incidence of primary bone tumors shows osteosarcoma, giant cell tumor, and osteochondroma are in the top three with 63%, 13%, and 6% respectively.

There are presented the main principles and possibilities of simultaneous chemoradiotherapy, including intra-tumoral administration of antitumor drugs in combination with irradiation of primary bone tumors with soft tissue components, metastatic damage of bones, soft tissue tumors as well as superficial tumors and metastases. On the example of 23 patients the high efficiency of synchronous combined therapy is showed. The possibility of using low total doses of ionizing radiation in order to significantly increase the local cytotoxicity of antitumor drugs directly in the tumor focus is substantiated. The proposed variant of synchronous combined therapy makes it possible to obtain a pronounced local effect with minimal systemic toxicity.

Abstract Although chrondrosarcomas are common primary bone tumors, their occurrence in the spine is very rare. Because total excision in such cases is seldom possible, few long term survivors have been reported. We are reporting one patient with a high thoracic spinal chondrosarcoma who survived with useful function for over 18 years because of repeated local tumor excisions. The literature is reviewed, and an aggressive surgical treatment of spinal chondrosarcoma is recommended.

Abstract: Musculoskeletal tumors are relatively rare, with 0.2%-0.5% of all malignant tumors in all ages. The geographic distribution of musculoskeletal tumors varies significantly around the world. This study aims to describe the musculoskeletal tumor profile in Saiful Anwar General Hospital. All data were obtained from the department of orthopaedic and traumatology database, Saiful Anwar general hospital. Thus, patients who were diagnosed with either bone tumor or soft tissue tumor between January 2011 to December 2018 were selected for the present study. The clinical-pathological conference (CPC) was carried out to ensure the validity of all the registered data. A total of 577 patients with tumors from January 2011 to December 2018 was obtained. Out of all the cases, 439 (76%) cases are bone tumors, and the remaining 138 (24%) cases are soft tissue tumors. The most frequent locations of the musculoskeletal tumors are the long bones of the thigh and lower leg. This study shows an increasing trend in musculoskeletal tumors incidence, despite decreasing numbers in several years. This result goes along with a rising trend in malignancy cases with a higher amount compared to the benign one. Moreover, MBD and osteosarcoma were found to be the most common tumor and primary bone tumors, respectively. However, the fact that there is some data loss in the study limited the study for a more accurate result.   Keywords: Musculoskeletal tumor; Bone tumor; Osteosarcoma; Malang; East Java
