Soft tissue sarcomas: Histopathology and cytogenetics in relation to diagnosis, treatment and clinical outcome

The heterogeneous group of STS is characterized by their unknown tumorigenesis and the absence of clear tumor biological prognostic markers. Traditional prognostic factors such as tumor grade and size still have the best predictive value. Research has been performed on tumor biological characteristics which could be helpful in the adequate diagnosis of STS, tumor tailored therapy and the prediction of treatment results and clinical outcome. ...
