¿Qué es un sarcoma?

Es un cáncer del tejido conectivo, que incluye estructuras como los nervios, los músculos, el cartílago, las articulaciones, los huesos y los vasos sanguíneos. Puede presentarse en cualquier lugar del cuerpo, pero frecuentemente se oculta en la profundidad de las extremidades.

¿Cuál es la prevalencia de los sarcomas?

Cerca de 1% de los tumores de adultos son sarcomas. Entre 15 y 20% de los tumores de niños son sarcomas. En el mundo existen cientos de miles de pacientes que, junto a sus familias, están luchando contra los sarcomas.

¿Cómo se tratan los sarcomas?

Cuando es posible, los pacientes son operados para extirpar el tumor. La cirugía se combina con quimioterapia y radioterapia.

¿Por qué los sarcomas son peligrosos?

Frecuentemente son diagnosticados erróneamente. Algunas veces son confundidos con lesiones deportivas. Cuando son diagnosticados, estos tumores son demasiado grandes para ser extirpados quirúrgicamente y por lo general han metastatizado. Muchos de los sarcomas son resistentes a los tratamientos utilizados actualmente.

Ayudas y Recursos

En España, coexiste el Sistema Nacional de Salud con una red importante de hospitales privados. Aunque existen centros privados para el tratamiento del cáncer de mucho prestigio (Clínica Universitaria de Navarra, Hospital de San Rafael, etc), la mayor parte de los casos de cáncer, adultos o pediátricos, son tratados en la red de Hospitales públicos, donde, con frecuencia, se encuentra la mejor combinación de medios, tecnología y enfoques específicos multidisciplinares (cirujanos, oncólogos, radiólogos, patólogos, enfermería,...) para el tratamiento del cáncer.

  Joint injury is a potent risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA), the most important musculoskeletal disease affecting humankind. Although evidence is mounting that knee joint injury rates are high and increasing, it is also perhaps the lowest hanging fruit for primary OA prevention; several randomized clinical trials have shown that knee injuries can be dramatically reduced with relatively straightforward interventions. Yet outside of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and despite its potential public health impact, the population incidence of soft tissue knee injury requiring medical attention is not well documented: we have not known the extent or the nature of the problem, until now.

  In a recent issue of Arthritis Research & Therapy, Peat and colleagues [1] provided population-wide estimates of clinically diagnosed soft tissue knee injuries across all ages on the basis of an entire region of Sweden (approximately 1.3 million people). The opportunity to report and classify all clinically diagnosed knee injuries across the lifespan arises from unique and detailed health-care registries typical to Scandinavian countries. This overcomes weaknesses of previous epidemiological evaluations of knee injuries, which are limited to specific health-care settings, subgroups of people, and specific injury types. Of note, the findings of Peat and colleagues [1] have convergent validity - largely agreeing with previous reports of incidence for specific injury types and subgroups where data overlap.

  What emerges is that population exposure to soft tissue knee injury is a common problem; the annual incidences for males and females are 766 and 676 per 100,000 persons per year, respectively. This is approximately 10 times higher than ACL injuries alone. If these ‘less catastrophic’ but more common injuries are a risk for OA development (as risk factor studies measuring self-reported injury suggest [2]), then this study may be uncovering and detailing critical new exposure data. They are clearly more numerous though more difficult to accurately diagnose. This study begins to shed light on this challenge.

  Also revealed is new information on age and gender differences. The incidence of soft tissue knee injuries peaks in adolescence and early adulthood and is likely sports-related, matching seasonal fluctuations in popular sports in Sweden. The rates after this period decline over the lifespan with a notable exception: females from 35 to 49 experience a second peak. This is intriguing and the reasons are not clear, although the authors propose that the previously reported link between parity/child-bearing and knee OA may be mediated by injury. Although the reasons remain obscure, the finding is compelling and may help elucidate the consistently reported, but unexplained, higher prevalence of knee OA in females.

  Peat and colleagues [1] show that, although incidence rates are highest in the second and third decades of life, considerable rates of contusion, collateral ligament sprain, and other soft tissue strains continue into middle and old age. These injuries coincide with the age of onset of knee OA symptoms and illustrate the challenge of differentiating what is truly an injury from what is part of a previously latent or degenerative process or both. This also applies to meniscal injuries. Surgeries for meniscal tears peak in the mid to late 40s [3]–[5]. In contrast, Peat and colleagues [1] report a high incidence of meniscal tears in adolescents and young adults. As acknowledged by the authors, less severe injuries such as meniscal tears likely suffer from some misclassification. However, the relationship between diagnosis and surgery for meniscal tears requires further investigation.

  The high injury incidence among adolescents and young adults, together with the known risk of OA incidence from ACL and meniscal injuries, provides further impetus for implementing knee injury prevention programs, for which there is a strong body of level 1 evidence [6]–[11]. Efficacy has been demonstrated primarily in the sports team setting, implemented as novel 10- to 15-minute team warm-ups consisting of neuromuscular exercises to train athletes to land, decelerate, and push off with better lower limb alignment and improved trunk control, balance, and proprioception. The reported risk reductions range from 41% to 88% [7],[8],[11]. Given the age and frequency at which these injuries most often occur and their potential sequelae, perhaps targeting injury prevention programs to physical education classes in public schools could address a growing public health problem.

  The study by Peat and colleagues highlights several areas for further study. Knowledge is needed on the natural history of knee injuries in the development of knee OA as well as the potential for prevention programs to reduce the incidence. The spike of injuries in females between 35 and 49 requires confirmation and further investigation as to its causes, prevention, and potential role in OA development or progression. The same is true for injuries that occur in middle and older age, often coinciding with a time when knee OA has been diagnosed. Further clarity is needed around meniscal injury: what is traumatic injury and what is degenerative knee disease? There is still much to discover about the different knee injury types throughout the lifespan and the initiation and progression of knee OA. The study by Peat and colleagues [1] provides a good platform for this to be pursued.

Abstract

Previous classification systems of failure of limb salvage focused primarily on endoprosthetic failures and lacked sufficient depth for the effective study of the causes of failure. In order to address these inadequacies, the International Society of Limb Salvage (ISOLS) formed a committee to recommend revisions of the previous systems. The purpose of this study was to report on their recommendations. The modifications were prepared using an earlier, evidence-based model with subclassification based on the existing medical literature. Subclassification for all five primary types of failure of limb salvage following endoprosthetic reconstruction were formulated and a complementary system was derived for the failure of biological reconstruction. An additional classification of failure in paediatric patients was also described. Limb salvage surgery presents a complex array of potential mechanisms of failure, and a complete and precise classification of types of failure is required. Earlier classification systems lacked specificity, and the evidence-based system outlined here is designed to correct these weaknesses and to provide a means of reporting failures of limb salvage in order to allow the interpretation of outcome following reconstructive surgery.

Sistemas de clasificación anteriores de fracaso de salvamento de la extremidad se centraron principalmente en los fracasos endoprotésicos y carecían de suficiente profundidad para el estudio eficaz de las causas del fracaso. Para hacer frente a estas deficiencias, la Sociedad Internacional de Salvamento Limb (ISOLS) formó un comité para recomendar revisiones de los sistemas anteriores. El propósito de este estudio fue el de informar sobre sus recomendaciones. Las modificaciones se prepararon utilizando un modelo anterior, basado en la evidencia con la subclasificación basada en la literatura médica existente. Subclasificación para los cinco tipos principales de fracaso de salvamento de la extremidad después de una reconstrucción endoprotésica se formularon y un sistema complementario se deriva del fracaso de la reconstrucción biológica. También se describe una clasificación adicional de fracaso en pacientes pediátricos. Cirugía de salvamento de la extremidad presenta un complejo conjunto de mecanismos de fallo potenciales, y se requiere una clasificación completa y precisa de los tipos de fallo. Sistemas de clasificación anteriores carecían de especificidad, y el sistema basado en la evidencia indica aquí está diseñado para corregir estas debilidades y proporcionar un medio de errores de notificación de salvamento de la extremidad con el fin de permitir la interpretación de los resultados después de la cirugía reconstructiva.
