Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1668: Germline Genetic Mutations in Adult Patients with Sarcoma: Insight into the Middle East Genetic Landscape
dah Abdel-Razeq Data on germline mutations in soft tissue and bone sarcomas are scarce. We sought to identify the prevalence of germline mutations in adult sarcoma patients treated at a tertiary cancer center. Newly diagnosed patients were offered germline genetic testing via an 84-gene panel. The prevalence of pathogenic germline variants (PGVs) and their association with disease-, and patient- related factors are reported. A total of 87 patients were enrolled, the median age was 48 (19–78) years, and 47 (54%) were females. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (n = 12, 13.8%), liposarcoma (n = 10, 11.5%), ...

Significance of radiation therapy in the myxoid round-cell liposarcoma treatment regimen
ConclusionPreoperative radiation therapy for myxoid liposarcoma near vital organs is a good approach because even with a reduced dose of 40  Gy, significant tumor reduction and excellent results were achieved. Definitive radiation therapy is the recommended treatment for older patients with serious comorbidities or inoperable patients. (Source: International Journal of Clinical Oncology)

Short- and long-term post-nephrectomy outcomes for retroperitoneal liposarcoma from a high-volume sarcoma center: a propensity score matching analysis
CONCLUSIONS: RLPS resection with nephrectomy is related to a mild progression of renal impairment; however, dialysis is rare. En bloc nephrectomy for complete resection of RLPS is safe and improves local control.PMID:38652434 | DOI:10.1007/s10147-024-02530-2 (Source: Cancer Control)

Rare myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma: a case report and literature review
We report a case of a middle-aged woman with a rapidly growing abdominal mass that was diagnosed as myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma, a recently recognised, rare and aggressive subtype of liposarcoma. The tumour exhibits a combination of histological features from both myxoid liposarcoma and pleomorphic liposarcoma. Genetic analysis revealed mutations in TP53 and RB1, along with widespread loss of heterozygosity. However, no DDIT3 gene translocation or MDM2/CDK4 gene amplification was detected. These genetic characteristics can be used to distinguish this type of liposarcoma from others. Two unusual gene fusion/rearrangement...

Clinical impact of whole-body MRI in staging and surveillance of patients with myxoid liposarcoma: a 14-year single-centre retrospective study
ConclusionRegular WBMRI surveillance of myxoid liposarcoma patients considerably impacts clinical management by frequently influencing treatment decisions.Clinical relevance statementWBMRI has been recently recommended as an imaging option for the staging and surveillance of myxoid liposarcoma patients. Our study highlights the impact of regular WBMRI surveillance on the clinical management of these patients and how it affects their survival. (Source: European Radiology)

Imaging features of perinephric myxoid pseudotumors of fat
ConclusionsPMPTF is a rare, benign, and underrecognized lesion that may mimic malignancy, particularly retroperitoneal well-differentiated liposarcoma. The imaging features of this unusual pseudosarcoma differ in native and transplanted kidneys. Improved awareness of this entity will facilitate appropriate patient management and avoid unnecessary intervention.Graphical Abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)
