Now we are 30: 10 more years of MASCC.

This paper chronicles the third decade of MASCC from 2010. There was a generational change in this decade, building on the solid foundation of the founders. It included the first female President, and a new Executive Director with a background in strategy and business development and operations as applied to healthcare. The headquarters moved from Copenhagen to Toronto. The first meeting to be held outside of Europe or North America was held in Adelaide, Australia, and the membership in the Asia Pacific region expanded. A program of international affiliates saw national supportive care organisations formally link with MASCC. In cancer supportive care, there was a raft of new toxicities to manage as immunotherapies were added to conventional cytotoxic treatment. There was also a greater emphasis on the psychosocial needs of patients and families. New MASCC groups were formed to respond to this evolution in cancer management. The MASCC journal, Supportive Care in Cancer, continued to grow in impact, and MASCC published two editions of a textbook of supportive care and survivorship. The decade ended with the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic, but that served to highlight the importance of good supportive care to patients with cancer.

Performance of the CLS Spotorno uncemented stem in the third decade after implantation.

In 2012 we reviewed a consecutive series of 92 uncemented THRs performed between 1986 and 1991 at our institution using the CLS Spotorno stem, in order to assess clinical outcome and radiographic data at a minimum of 21 years. The series comprised 92 patients with a mean age at surgery of 59.6 years (39 to 77) (M:F 43;49). At the time of this review, seven (7.6%) patients had died and two (2.2%) were lost to follow-up. The 23-year Kaplan-Meier survival rates were 91.5% (95% confidence intervals (CI) 85.4% to 97.6%; 55 hips at risk) and 80.3% (95% CI, 71.8% to 88.7%; 48 hips at risk) respectively, with revision of the femoral stem or of any component as endpoints. At the time of this review, 76 patients without stem revision were assessed clinically and radiologically (mean follow-up 24.0 years (21.5 to 26.5)). For the 76 unrevised hips the mean Harris hip score was 87.1 (65 to 97). Femoral osteolysis was detected in five hips (6.6%) only in Gruen zone 7. Undersized stems were at higher risk of revision owing to aseptic loosening (p = 0.0003). Patients implanted with the stem in a varus position were at higher risk of femoral cortical hypertrophy and thigh pain (p = 0.0006 and p = 0.0007, respectively). In our study, survival, clinical outcome and radiographic data remained excellent in the third decade after implantation. Nonetheless, undersized stems were at higher risk of revision owing to aseptic loosening.
