10. Current state of diagnostic testing in pediatric sarcoma: practical solutions to diagnostic challenges

The Sarcoma Working Group of the Cancer Genomics Consortium (CGC) aims to understand the current state of diagnostic testing for pediatric sarcomas and the challenges faced in the field. We conducted a survey of CGC general constituents and American Cytogenetics Forum members ([e-mail]) in April/May 2022. In total, 46 responses were received, predominantly from university/academic/teaching hospitals (n=45) in the United States (n=41) and Canada (n=5). Respondents reported diverse roles including laboratory directors (n=25), pathologists (n=15), oncologists (n=3), and laboratory technologists (n=3).
