TLDR
The rapidly increasing knowledge of the genetics of mesenchymal tumours allows us to make more accurate diagnoses as well as to better understand of the pathogenesis of these lesions, but abundant molecular and cytogenetic data highlight an increasing problem of growing numbers of genetic overlaps even among quite different tumours.Abstract:
In early 2013, the new classification of tumours of soft tissue and bones was released. This edition belongs to the fourth series of so-called Blue Books published under the auspices of the World Health Organisation (WHO). The current classification follows the previous third edition, from which it differs in several aspects. The vast majority of changes are related to the soft tissue tumour section, which was enriched with three new chapters, some entities or terms were removed, new diagnoses were introduced, and several tumours were reallocated to other categories. Albeit to a lesser extent, similar changes have occurred also in the classification of bone tumours. Compared to the previous edition, more detailed molecular and cytogenetic data were incorporated in the current issue. The rapidly increasing knowledge of the genetics of mesenchymal tumours allows us to make more accurate diagnoses as well as to better understand of the pathogenesis of these lesions. However, abundant molecular and cytogenetic data highlight an increasing problem of growing numbers of genetic overlaps even among quite different tumours. The coexistence of several grading systems of soft tissue tumours is another controversial issue mentioned in the recent WHO classification. The main advantages and limitations of the two most widely used grading systems are also discussed.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the PD-L1 expression pattern and its clinical implication in soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) was analyzed in 82 STS patients with 5 subtypes: rhabdomyosarcoma, synovial saroma, Ewing sarcoma and mesenchymal chondrosaroma.

TL;DR: FiVe1 targets the intermediate filament and mesenchymal marker vimentin (VIM) in a mode which promotes VIM disorganization and phosphorylation during metaphase, ultimately leading to mitotic catastrophe, multinucleation, and the loss of stemness.

EWSR1-NFATC2 and FUS-NFATC2 Gene Fusion-Associated Mesenchymal Tumors: Clinicopathologic Correlation and Literature Review
TL;DR: Three patients with tumors carrying the EWSR1-NFATC2 gene translocation are reported, including one rare primary tumor of soft tissues and another patient with a benign-appearing bone tumor with a unique FUS-NFatC2 genes translocation is described.

Up-regulation of PCOLCE by TWIST1 promotes metastasis in Osteosarcoma.

TL;DR: These findings are the first to provide evidence that PColCE plays a critical role in promoting the lung metastasis of osteosarcoma, and this up-regulation of PCOLCE by TWIST1 may lead to a new therapeutic strategy to treat patients with metastatic osteosARcoma.

TL;DR: In this paper, the combination of chidamide and an anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) antibody significantly promotes tumor regression and improves survival in a murine model.
