“…4A and 4B) indicated the highly migration ability of tumor cells while MMP13 also showed the enhanced trend (figure S1). As were reported that massage or MT showed some effects on cancer care that may release pain and improve circulation[36], [37], promoted or stimulated neovessel formation[38], [39], [40], human KDR detected in xenograft injected tumor were highly expressed in MT (+) group compared to MT (−) (Fig. 4C) that supported the higher risk of tumor metastasis and may related to the promotion of blood flow in tumors.…”

Osteosarcoma (OS) patients who suffer manipulation therapy (MT) prior to diagnosis resulted in poor prognosis with increasing metastasis or recurrence rate. The aim of the study is to establish an in vivo model to identify the effects of MT on OS. The enrolled 235 OS patients were followed up in this study. In vivo nude mice model with tibia injection of GFP-labeled human OS cells were randomly allocated into MT(+) that with repeated massage on tumor site twice a week and no treatment as MT(−) group. The five-year survival, metastasis and recurrence rates were recorded in clinical subjects. X-ray plainfilm, micro-PET/CT scan, histopathology, serum metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) level and human kinase domain insert receptor (KDR) pattern were assayed in mice model. The results showed that patient with MT decreased 5-year survival and higher recurrence or metastasis rate. Compatible with clinical findings, the decreased body weight (30.5±0.65 g) and an increased tumor volume (8.3±1.18 mm3) in MT(+) mice were observed. The increasing signal intensity over lymph node region of hind limb by micro-PET/CT and the tumor cells were detected in lung and bilateral lymph nodes only in MT(+) group. MMP2 (214±9.8 ng/ml) and MMP9 (25.5±1.81 ng/ml) were higher in MT(+) group than in MT(−) group (165±7.8 ng/ml and 16.9±1.40 ng/ml, individually) as well as KDR expression. Taking clinical observations and in vivo evidence together, MT treatment leads to poor prognosis of primary osteosarcoma; physicians should pay more attention on patients who seek MT before diagnosis.

“…El masaje es una de las más populares modalidades complementarias en los pacientes con cáncer; estudios indican que entre el 11% y 53% de los pacientes lo han usado y actualmente se incluyen en guías de cuidado paliativo en pacientes con cán-cer 45 . En cuanto el uso de este tipo de modalidad terapéutica en pacientes con metástasis óseas, se encuentra que es una técnica segura y se sugiere realizar técnicas de baja presión, evaluar calidad de la piel, evitando realizar en condiciones en donde se encuentre radiodermitis, laceraciones o escoriaciones 45 .…”

95Rehabilitación del paciente con enfermedad ósea metastásica: Un desafío Rev Col Med Fis Rehab 2016; 26(1): 95-108 ARTÍCULO DE REVISIÓN RESUMENLa enfermedad ósea metastásica es una condición que frecuentemente impacta de forma negativa la funcionalidad y calidad de vida de los pacientes con cáncer, por lo cual esta condición se convierte en un desafío para el grupo oncológico tratante y de soporte; en especial para los especialistas en rehabilitación, quienes deben buscar un equilibrio entre los riesgos de aparición de eventos adversos a causa de sus intervenciones y la preservación de la funcionalidad. El objetivo de esta revisión es dar a conocer las principales pautas sobre el diagnóstico clínico, el diagnóstico imagenológico, los fundamentos del tratamiento quirúrgico y las opciones en rehabilitación, para que el especialista pueda tomar las mejores decisiones de tratamiento y establecer objetivos de rehabilitación eficientes en los pacientes con enfermedad ósea metastásica.Palabras clave: metástasis de las neoplasias, hueso, rehabilitación. ABSTRACTThe bone metastases is a condition that often impresses of negative form the functionality and quality of life of the patients with cancer, for which dealer turns this condition into a challenge for the oncological group and of support; especially for the specialists in rehabilitation, who must look for a balance between the risks of appearance of adverse events because of its interventions and the preservation of the functionality. The object of this review is to announce the main rules on the clinical diagnosis, the imaging diagnosis, the essentials of the surgical treatment and the options in rehabilitation, so that the specialist could take the best decisions of treatment and establish efficient rehabilitation targets in the patients with bone metastases.

“…7,12,15 The manual techniques have been identified in the literature as being beneficial to cancer patients as long as they are properly adapted to them and can help reduce some symptoms, such as pain, fatigue, stress, anxiety, nausea and depression. 33 Marszalek et al (2009) 34 evaluated the influence of myofascial release techniques in esophageal pressure and cervical and scapular tension in 40 patients, who underwent total laryn gectomy (n = 40/100%), neck dissection (n = 35/87.5%), and radiotherapy (n = 38/95%) after 9 months to 13 years of treatment. Esophageal pressure was measured before and after a single session of physiotherapy, which consists of the use of myofascial release techniques in the upper body, shoulders, arms, neck and head.…”

Introduction: Physiotherapy has an important role in cancer rehabilitation, particularly with the head and neck cancer patients, in an attempt to minimize the morbidities caused by the disease and its treatment. Objective:To determine the role of physiotherapy treatment in morbidities of head and neck cancer, in a retrospective investigation, at one oncologic hospital. Materials and methods:Retrospective study based on the analysis of medical records of 32 patients treated at the outpatient Physiotherapy department at the Brazilian Institute of Cancer Control (IBCC), Results: Twenty-nine medical records were evaluated, 86.2% were males with cancer in the oral cavity (41.4%) that had radical neck dissection (69%) and radiotherapy (86.2%), evolving with lymphedema (89.7%), pain (82.8%), normotrophic scar (65.5%), tissue adherence (27.6%) and hypoesthesia (51.7%). The physiotherapeutic treatment included: manual lymphatic drainage (89.7%), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS; 51.7%), mechanical massage therapy (37.9%), stretching exercises (79.3%) and patient education (100%). The results showed a reduction of pain and lymphedema, increased normotrophic scars and normoesthesia, with an average of 19.3 ± 14.5 sessions and treatment discharge of 65.5%. Conclusion:Physical therapy in morbidities of head and neck cancer was effective in reducing pain and lymphedema, combining manual lymphatic drainage, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), mechanical massage therapy, stretching exercises and patient education, with an average of 19 sessions and discharge after treatment.
