Epidemiology of primary bone tumors and economical aspects of bone metastases Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Primary bone tumors are rare; they account for less than 0.2% of the malignancies registered. Particularly children and adolescents are affected which make those primary bone tumors have a major impact on patients’ life. The incidence of benign bone tumors is considerably higher. A substantial number of primary bone tumors do occur in the context of a hereditary disorder. Both benign as well as malignant primary tumors of bone are outnumbered ...

A phase I dose-escalation trial of stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy for non-spine bone and lymph node metastases (DESTROY-trial) Vrije Universiteit Brussel University of Antwerp KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: In an oligometastatic setting, metastasis-directed treatment could render patients disease free, possibly for a protracted interval. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is one of the treatment modalities that can be offered to these patients. In addition, the radiobiological qualities of SABR are promising for the use in perceived radioresistant tumours. There is also emerging evidence that SABR can stimulate the immune ...
A phase III randomized-controlled, single-blind trial to improve quality of life with stereotactic body radiotherapy for patients with painful bone metastases (ROBOMET) University of Antwerp Ghent University

Bone Marrow Metastases from a 1p/19q Co-deleted Oligodendroglioma - A Case Report Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: Metastasis of oligodendroglioma outside of the central nervous system (CNS) is a very rare event.
CASE: We describe in detail the clinical story of a 50-year-old woman diagnosed with profound pancytopenia and signs of extramedullary hematopoiesis caused by diffuse bone marrow replacement by a metastatic oligodendroglioma.
RESULTS: Upon development of pancytopenia, a diagnostic bone marrow examination revealed the ...
