This study aimed to evaluate oncologic outcomes, sur...
On the Relevance of Soft Tissue Sarcomas Metabolic Landscape Mapping
Esperança-Martins, Miguel; F. Duarte, Iola; Rodrigues, Mara; Soares do Brito, Joaquim; López-Presa, Dolores; Costa, Luís; Fernandes, IsabelSoft tissue sarcomas (STS) prognosis is disappointing, with current treatment strategies being based on a "fit for all" principle and not taking distinct sarcoma subtypes specificities and genetic/metabolic differences into consideration.

Selective Arterial Embolization for a Large Pelvic Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Treatment
Soares do Brito, Joaquim; Portela, JoséAneurysmal bone cysts are benign musculoskeletal tumours, which occur in young patients and, occasionally, with aggressive behaviour. Those tumours very often will need surgical treatment with curettage and bone grafting, but for aggressive lesions, inbloc resection is more advisable. Aggressive tumours use to be large and sometimes with difficult surgical approach and demanding complex surgical reconstructions...
