Article Musculoskeletal Tumors in Orthopaedic Oncology: Current Concepts, Challenges, and Multidisciplinary Management(Elsevier B.V., 2026) Çepni, S.; Sezgin, B.S.; Arıcan, N.; Akkurt, M.O.; Hatipoglu, P.T.; Duran, S.; Tevlek, A.Orthopedic oncology encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of both benign and malignant bone and soft tissue tumors, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach for optimal care. This review provides a thorough examination of modern treatment modalities, encompassing surgical procedures, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and rehabilitation. It emphasizes the importance of the collaborative effort between orthopedic surgeons, radiologists, oncologists, and pathologists. Continuous collaboration among these disciplines not only improves diagnostic precision but also facilitates timely decision-making throughout the patient's treatment journey. The synergy of multidisciplinary expertise fosters diagnostic accuracy, individualized therapeutic strategies, and superior patient outcomes through coordinated, evidence-driven decision-making. This review promotes the ongoing improvement of multidisciplinary care in orthopedic oncology by incorporating recent research findings and advancements, with the objective of enhancing the quality of life and treatment success of patients with musculoskeletal malignancies. © 2026 The AuthorsArticle Citation - Scopus: 5Determining the Factors Affecting Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Children With Cancer(W.B. Saunders, 2023) Ay,A.; Boztepe,H.; Özbay,S.Ç.; Yılmaz,P.; Karadavut,B.; Burhanoğulları,D.; Akyüz,C.Purpose: We evaluated the factors affecting chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in children with cancer. Design and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 62 children aged 9 to 18 years old with a solid tumor who received chemotherapy for the first time, and their parents. Data were collected using a data collection form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Baxter Retching Faces Scale. Data were analyzed using Spearman's correlation and logistic regression analyses. Results: Risk factors related to the child, treatment, and parent were examined. Child-related factors were determined as diagnosis (odds ratio [OR] = 5.5), time since diagnosis (OR = 1.9, OR = 4.7), pretreatment anxiety of the child (r = 0.439, r = 0.422), and past experience of nausea and vomiting before treatment (OR = 1.2). Treatment-related factors involved anti-emetic prophylaxis (OR = 4.9, OR = 9.2). Parent-related factors included pretreatment anxiety of the parent (r = 0.271, r = 0.287), accommodation (OR = 5.5), not eating (OR = 1.2, OR = 1.3), and bad smell (OR = 1.2), which were described amongst parents' as factors that trigger CINV. Conclusions: The occurrence of CINV is significantly affected by child-, treatment-, and parent-related risk factors. Practice implications: Pediatric nurses should create an environment for children and their parents to reduce their anxiety and provide basic knowledge and skills about the management of CINV. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
