Clinical recommendations for treatment of localized angiosarcoma: A consensus paper by the Italian Sarcoma Group
Angiosarcoma (AS) is a rare and aggressive vascular sarcoma. The current European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for the treatment of sarcomas apply to AS as well. However, AS aggressiveness and diverse tumor presentations differentiate it from other sarcomas, impacting clinical decisions. This is especially relevant in the context of localized disease, where considerations about the extent of surgery, the use of radiation therapy (RT), and the indication for neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy may vary.

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1355: Functional Classification of Fusion Proteins in Sarcoma
äfer Sarcomas comprise a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin. More than 80 entities are associated with different mesenchymal lineages. Sarcomas with fibroblastic, muscle, bone, vascular, adipocytic, and other characteristics are distinguished. Nearly half of all entities contain specific chromosomal translocations that give rise to fusion proteins. These are mostly pathognomonic, and their detection by various molecular techniques supports histopathologic classification. Moreover, the fusion proteins act as oncogenic drivers, and their blockade represents a promising therapeutic approach. Th...

Safety, efficacy, and biological data of T cell-enabling oncolytic adenovirus TILT-123 in advanced solid cancers from the TUNIMO monotherapy phase I trial
CONCLUSIONS: TILT-123 was safe and able to produce anti-tumor effects in local and distant lesions in heavily pre-treated patients. Good tolerability of TILT-123 facilitates combination studies, several of which are ongoing (NCT04217473, NCT05271318, NCT05222932, NCT06125197).PMID:38546220 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3874 (Source: Cell Research)

Low NT5DC2 expression predicts favorable prognosis and suppresses soft tissue sarcoma progression via ECM-receptor interaction pathway
CONCLUSION: Low expression of NT5DC2 predicts a favorable prognosis in soft tissue sarcoma, and downregulated NT5DC2 expression can suppress sarcoma cell progression through the ECM-receptor interaction pathway.PMID:38547613 | DOI:10.1016/j.tranon.2024.101937 (Source: Translational Oncology)
