Sarcoma Genomics

Definition

Sarcoma genomics refers to the study of genetic alterations, mutations, and molecular pathways involved in the development and progression of sarcomas, a diverse but uncommon group of malignant tumors that arise from bone, cartilage, or connective tissues such as muscle, fat, peripheral nerves, fibrous, or related tissues. This field aims to identify potential diagnostic biomarkers, prognostic indicators, and therapeutic targets for improved management of sarcoma patients.
