ChatGPT shows potential for assisting in bone tumor diagnosis
ChatGPT shows potential in helping radiologists to identify malignant bone tumors based on CT imaging findings in radiology reports, according to a study published January 22 in the Journal of Bone Oncology.
A team led by Fan Yang, MD, of Capital Medical University in Beijing reported that a few-shot trained ChatGPT model (that is, a model trained to make accurate predictions with only a small number of examples) showed 87% accuracy and 99% sensitivity for flagging malignant bone tumors.
"Our findings highlight the potential of ChatGPT in the diagnosis of benign and malignant bone tumors, offering advantages like enhance...

Science Saturday: Brain tumors hijack growth proteins
What makes some brain cancers so hard to treat? Researchers in the laboratory of Alfredo Qui?ones-Hinojosa, M.D., Chair of Neurologic Surgery on Mayo Clinic?s campus in Florida, looked at devastating brain tumors known as chordomas to understand why those tumors are capable of growing so aggressively. In a study published in Cell Reports, they found [...] (Source: News from Mayo Clinic)

New drug hope for rare bone cancer patients
Patients with a rare bone cancer of the skull and spine - chordoma - could be helped by existing drugs, suggest scientists from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, University College London Cancer Institute and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust. In the largest genomics study of chordoma to date, published today in Nature Communications, scientists show that a group of chordoma patients have mutations in genes that are the target of existing drugs, known as PI3K inhibitors.

Pain in the Butt - Coccydynia Means Coccyx Pain
Coccydynia refers to pain and tenderness originating from the coccyx. The coccyx is commonly referred to as the tailbone (Figure 1). It is a small curved V-shaped bone at the bottom of the spine (Figure 2). It is the final segment of the vertebral column comprising of two to four separate or fused vertebrae (lies below the sacrum).
The coccyx provides an important attachment for tendons, ligaments and muscles. Most doctors are not very familiar with the coccyx or its problems.
The coccyx has very little movement, excessive movement of the coccyx is abnormal. When sitting, the coccyx shifts forward and acts as a shoc...

Studies point to clinical advantages of proton therapy
New data from clinical trials demonstrate the technology's potential advantages over conventional radiation, including less side effects and survival in some cases, for several harder-to-treat tumors: pancreatic, late-stage, non-small cell lung and chordoma and chondrosarcoma, two rare cancers found in bone or soft tissue.

FDA-approved lung cancer medication shrinks chordoma in mice
Johns Hopkins researchers say that a drug approved to treat lung cancer substantially shrank tumors in mice that were caused by a rare form of bone cancer called chordoma.Reporting in the journal PLOS ONE, the researchers say the finding offers hope to chordoma patients, who have no treatment options once surgery and radiation have been exhausted. There are no U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved medications for the disease and, because its incidence is only one in 1 million, there is little financial incentive for pharmaceutical companies to develop or test drugs to treat them.
