Abstract
Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are a heterogeneous group of rare tumors. Although constituting only 1% of all human malignancies, STSs represent the second most common type of solid tumors in children and adolescents and comprise an important group of secondary malignancies. Over 100 histologic subtypes have been characterized to date (occurring predominantly in the trunk, extremity, and retroperitoneum), and many more are being discovered due to molecular profiling. STS mortality remains high, despite adjuvant chemotherapy. New prognostic stratification markers are needed to help identify patients at risk of recurrence and possibly apply more intensive or novel treatments. Recent scientific advancements have enabled a more precise molecular characterization of sarcoma subtypes and revealed novel therapeutic targets and prognostic/predictive biomarkers. This review aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the most relevant cellular, molecular and metabolic biomarkers for STS, and highlight advances in STS-related biomarker research.

Inflammatory leiomyosarcoma/rhabdomyoblastic tumor: A report of two cases with novel genetic findings

TL;DR: Next‐generation sequencing identified sequence variants in NF1, TP53, SMARCA4, KRAS, and MSH6 consistent with the diagnosis of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome in one of the study patients and suggestive that ILMS/IRT might be part of the HNPCC cancer spectrum.

Analysis of 100,000 human cancer genomes reveals the landscape of tumor mutational burden

TL;DR: Measurements of TMB from comprehensive genomic profiling are strongly reflective of measurements from whole exome sequencing and model that below 0.5 Mb the variance in measurement increases significantly, demonstrating that many disease types have a substantial portion of patients with high TMB who might benefit from immunotherapy.

Tumor Mutational Burden as an Independent Predictor of Response to Immunotherapy in Diverse Cancers.

TL;DR: Higher TMB predicts favorable outcome to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade across diverse cancers treated with various immunotherapies, and Benefit from dual checkpoint blockade did not show a similarly strong dependence on TMB.

Oncoprotein MDM2 conceals the activation domain of tumour suppressor p53

TL;DR: It is shown that, when expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, human MDM2 inhibits human p53's ability to stimulate transcription by binding to a region that nearly coincides with the p53 acidic activation domain.
