We report a case of infantile fibrosarcoma in an 8-month-old boy manifested as a right-sided lower leg mass. Repeated local recurrence and distant metastasis were noted during the following three-year period. Whole body fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan revealed an asymptomatic metastasis involving the fourth lumbar vertebrae. The patient received chemotherapy (VAC regimen) with Cyberknife$^{(R)}$ stereotactic hypofractionated radiotherapy (26 Gy; 4 fractions). This treatment reduced tumor size by 23% without acute radiation toxicity even after 33 months. This case suggests that combining chemotherapy and this form of radiotherapy may be safe and effective against childhood spinal metastasis.

Prognostic Factors in Adult Patients with Solid Cancers and Bone Marrow Metastases
Hung, Yu-Shin,Chou, Wen-Chi,Chen, Tai-Di,Chen, Tse-Ching,Wang, Po-Nan,Chang, Hung,Hsu, Hung-Chih,Shen, Wen-Chi,Cheng, Wei-Hong,Chen, Jen-Shi Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.1
Background: Solid cancers with bone marrow metastases are rare but lethal. This study aimed to identify clinical factors predictive of survival in adult patients with solid cancers and bone marrow metastases. Methods: A total of 83 patients were enrolled consecutively between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2012. Bone marrow metastases were confirmed by biopsies. Patient clinical features and laboratory data were analyzed for associations. Results: The median age of the patients was 54 years (range, 23-88 years), and 58% were male. The 3 most common primary tumor locations were the stomach (32 patients, 39%), prostate (16 patients, 19%), and lungs (12 patients, 15%). The median overall survival was 49 days (range, 3-1423 days). Patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 1, cancers of prostate origin, platelet counts over 50,000/ml, and undergoing antitumor therapies had a significantly better prognosis in the multivariate analysis. The median survival times were 173 and 33 days for patients with 2-3 more favorable parameters (n=24) and those with 0-1 (n=69), respectively (hazard ratio 0.30; 95% CI 0.17-0.52, p<0.001). Conclusions: Solid cancers with bone marrow metastases are dismal and incurable diseases. Understanding prognostic factors to these diseases helps medical personnel to provide appropriate treatments and better inform patients about outcomes. Antitumor therapies may improve outcomes in selected patient cohorts.

Economic Burden of High-Responding Inhibitors in Patients with Hemophilia A in Taiwan
Tsu-Chiang Tu,Shin-Nan Cheng,Jye-Daa Chen,Thau-Ming Cham,Mei-Ing Chung 연세대학교의과대학 2013 Yonsei medical journal Vol.54 No.2
Purpose: Hemophilia A (HA) is the most common X-linked inherited bleeding disorder. In some patients with HA, particularly those with severe HA, replacement therapy results in the production of high-responding clotting factor VIII inhibitors. The economic burden of this complication is the highest reported for a chronic disease. Our aim was to investigate the direct medical expenditure burden of high-responding inhibitors in patients with HA. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using the National Health Insurance Research Database,utilizing data covering the period of 2004-2007. Results: In total, 638 males with HA¸ including 37 patients with high-responding inhibitors were evaluated. Over 99% of the annual median medical expenditure was attributable to the cost of clotting factor concentrates (CFCs) in patients with high-responding inhibitors. The annual median expenditure related to CFCs of the total medical care and outpatient care were US$170611 and US$141982, respectively, and were 4.6- and 4.3-fold higher in these patients during the study period, respectively. In patients with high-responding inhibitors, the median hospitalization expenditure and daily hospitalization cost with or without surgical procedures were 3.0- and 2.4-fold higher, respectively, and 4.3 and 5.6-fold higher, respectively. Conclusion: Our data reveal higher medical expenditures burden for patients with HA and high-responding inhibitors in Taiwan. Future research is encouraged to evaluate the impact of this burden on patient quality of life.
