Mechanisms of sarcoma development

TL;DR: Insight into the genetic abnormalities that seem to underlie the pathogenesis of these tumours has already led to new classification of many sarcomas, as well as to successful therapies that are targeted at specific genetic abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alveolar soft-part sarcoma: a review and update

TL;DR: The historical, histopathological, ultrastructural, immunohistochemical and genetic aspects of ASPS are reviewed and the ultimate prognosis is poor and is often characterised by late metastases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sarcomas of the head and neck region

TL;DR: Current approaches in patient evaluation, staging, prognosis, and treatment, with emphasis on prolonged survival and quality of life are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alveolar soft part sarcoma in Japan: multi-institutional study of 57 patients from the Japanese Musculoskeletal Oncology Group.

TL;DR: Alveolar soft part sarcoma can present primarily as a bone tumor, and no advantage of chemotherapy with high-dose ifosfamide or cisplatin could be demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lingual alveolar soft part sarcoma; 14 cases: novel clinical and morphological observations

TL;DR: This study examines the morphological and clinical features of lingual ASPS, a rare sarcoma in the buttocks or thigh of young adults often with metastases to lung, brain, or bone.

Detection of ASPL/TFE3 fusion transcripts and the TFE3 antigen in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue in a series of 18 cases of alveolar soft part sarcoma: Useful diagnostic tools in cases with unusual histological features

TL;DR: It is concluded that immuno-detection of TFE3 and RT-PCR-based identification of ASPL/TFE3 fusion transcripts in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues are powerful tools in the diagnosis of ASPS, particularly in cases with unusual morphologic features.
