Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma constitute 36% of all primary bone cancers. However, these 2 subtypes represent the most commonly diagnosed bone cancer types in the pediatric and adolescent population. Although still largely unknown, certain genetic mutations, rearrangements, and/or predisposition syndromes likely play a role in the pathogenesis of bone cancer. Osteosarcoma may also develop as a direct result of the long-term side effects of radiation therapy. With the implementation of a multimodality approach to treatment, including multiagent neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy regimens, targeted therapy options, surgery, and radiation, individuals with Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma are showing higher cure rates and improved overall survival. The NCCN Guidelines for Bone Cancer provide a consensus and evidence-based framework for the workup, management, and surveillance of local and recurrent/metastatic disease.

Poorly designed Electronic Health Records (EHRs) can lead to increased workloads, decreased efficiency, and medical errors. This cross-sectional study surveyed ICU providers’ perceptions of their EHR using the NASA-TLX and CSUQ surveys. We found that providers report increased temporal demand and effort when using the EHR, and that they are dissatisfied with the EHR’s interface quality.
