Asia Pacific Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Conference 2018

Message from IMSOS President

IMSOS or the Indian Musculoskeletal Oncology Society is truly a multi-disciplinary society comprising of orthopedic surgeons, radiologists, pathologists and medical and radiation oncologists. All of these specialties and their doctors have come together to work towards providing optimal care to patients with bone and soft tissue tumors. IMSOS also encourages non-doctor members…anyone who makes a difference to the care of patients with bone and soft tissue tumors is welcome to be part of the society.
IMSOS’ vision is to “promote scientific, evidence based, comprehensive multidisciplinary management of bone and soft tissue sarcomas and encourage basic and clinical research”. IMSOS’ mission is to do this through meetings, conferences, workshops, white papers and an active website where people engage with each other to learn and teach and to eventually use that knowledge to optimally manage patients and alleviate their pain and suffering.
IMSOS is orthopedic-surgeon-driven given the very nature of the subject. However, radiologists, pathologists, oncologists and the other members are also an integral part of the Society. By electing me President for the next 2 years, IMSOS has truly proven its multi-disciplinary character.
The new IMSOS secretary and I, will ensure that IMSOS’ mission and vision are fulfilled and that we continue the work done by Ajay Puri and Ashish Gulia. We will strive to create a platform that will allow those who come after us to continue and enhance the work done by us.
We are actively soliciting suggestions from IMSOS’ members on various topics and issues to ensure that IMSOS stays and continues to be relevant and make a difference.
Let’s have a great meeting in Kolkata and work towards an equally good or better meeting in Bengaluru in March 2020.

Dr Bhavin Jhankaria
President – Indian Musculo Skeletal Oncology Society

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic efficiency of bone scintigraphy, fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), and sodium fluoride (NaF) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in the evaluation of bone metastasis of the several malignant tumors.
Materials and Methods: A total of Thirteen13 patients (9nine Ffemales and, 4four Mmales; mean 62,.3 ± 7,.1 years) with diagnosis of different malignant tumors were included in the study. The comparison of bone scintigraphy, FDG, and NaF PET/CT results were was performed retrospectively.
Results: The NaF PET/CT demonstrated all the metastatic patients in this series; however, FDG PET/CT missed 7/13 and bone scintigrapyhy 1/13 of the patients with bone metastasis. NaF PET/CT showed significantly higher number of metastatic lesions in all the patients.
Conclusion: The lesion- based analysis showed that NaF PET/CT is significantly superior to FDG PET/CT and bone scintigraphy and patient- based analysis lower detection rate for the FDG PET/CT.
Keywords: Bone, scintigraphy, metastasis, sodium fluorideNaF, fluorodeoxyglucosefdg.
