Using phosphorus-32 (P-32) radiopharmaceutical for treatment of bone pain in 60 cancer patients with skeletal metastases (34 males, 26 females) showed that: The analgesia effect of P-32 was remarkable, 86.67% patients had good results, the bone pain was dicreased for long time. The patients's quality of life was more improved. The KPI before treatment was 51.83 and after treatment 3 months = 66.92. The toxicity was slight and under control : Amount of red blood cells and plates were slightly dicreased. It become normal after P-32 treatment 6-8 weeks. Nothing changed before and after treatment with white blood cells and the bio-chemistic criterias. The impact and side effects for the body were not significantly.

From 1/1996 to 10/1997, 126 patients with bone tumor were applied the fine needle cytology and the needle biopsy in K hospital - Hµ Néi. Accuracy of the fine needle cytology was 55% versus 85% of the needle biopsy, sensitivity 52% versus 81%, specificity 70% versus 100%, predictive value of positive test 90% versus 100% and predictive value of negative test was 23% versus 56% of the needle biopsy.

During 1994-1997, the nuclear medicine department of Cho Ray hospital diagnosed clinically 1938 patients with the cancer and implemented the scintigraphy to discover the metastasis. 816 patients with the cancer with the high risk of metastasis including the breast cancer, vaginal cancer, lung cancer, prostate gland cancer and thyroid cancer which arranged as kind of cancer and age. The bone scintigraphy help classifying the cancer with metastaisi and the comparision of the rate of metastasis into bone in this study with this rate reported by the Utrecht University of Ha Lan.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinicopathologic characteritics and prognosis of telangiectatic osteosarcoma.

METHODSThe clinical and pathological data of 14 cases of telangiectatic osteosarcoma were reviewed.

RESULTSMost of these patients were male (9/14). The mean age was 23 years. Most tumors were located in the lower extremities (10/14). The roentgenograms showed a large purely osteolytic lesion. Both medullar and cortical bone were extensively destroyed. The gross specimen showed cystic cavities separated by septa, similar to an aneurismal bone cyst. Microscopically, the septa contained anaplastic cells. A few fine, lace-like osteoid were scattered among these sarcomatous cells. 12 patients were followed-up from 6 months to 84 months. Of seven patients who had developed pulmonary metastasis, six patients died and one alive with lung metastasis. The remaining five patients survived after operation.

CONCLUSIONSDifficulties in making an early diagnosis and highly malignant of this disease might be the important factors that affect the prognosis of telangiectatic osteosarcoma.

Chondroblastoma is an uncommon, benign, cartilaginous neoplasm originating in an epiphysis or apophysis of a long tubular bone. The rib is an unusual site for chondroblastoma. The authors describe a case of chondroblastoma of the rib and present a brief review of the literature.

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare benign bone tumor. This tumor mostly affects the long bones of the appendicular skeleton but rarely grows in the craniofacial region. In this article, a case of CMF of the mandible was presented to enhance our understanding of CMF. Its clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, and treatment methods were discussed by analyzing the related literature.

Cancer is the leading cause of disease and death worldwide and among all cancers,prostate cancer (PCA) is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer of men after lungcancer. Despite the low incidence of prostate cancer, there is a rapid increase of prostate cancer's incidence and mortality in Asian countries due to a more westernized lifestyle and high proportion of advanced stage prostate cancer.
