Molecular testing of sarcomas
Connective tissue tumours, particularly sarcomas, are rare and present as a variety of histological subtypes with diverse management protocols and have varied prognoses. Many of these tumours have specific cancer driver genetic alterations that can be leveraged for diagnostic purposes. For practical purposes, these tumours can be categorised as harbouring genetic alterations including chromosomal rearrangements, gene amplifications, single nucleotide substitutions, and complex genetic abnormalities. Herein we discuss different tumour subtypes with their associated genetic abnormalities that may be used in clinical practice, when interpreted in the context of the relevant clinical, histological and radiological information.
The benefits of large scale sequencing studies of sarcoma are leading to new insights into sarcoma development and are providing a biological rationale for personalised medicine. Genomic profiling and other “omic” studies will likely play a fundamental part in the development of new diagnostic and predictive biomarkers in the near future.
Journal of Orthopedic Oncology offers information in all aspects of primary, malignant tumors. Osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, chordoma, and soft tissue sarcomas etc., it also deals with diagnostic methods, therapeutic approaches, clinical, laboratory research and reconstructive techniques.
Journal uses Editorial Tracking System for quality in review process. Editorial Manager is an online manuscript submission, review and tracking systems. Review processing is performed by the editorial board members of Orthopedics & Oncology or outside experts; at least two independent reviewer’s approval followed by editor approval is required for acceptance of any citable manuscript. Authors may submit manuscripts and track their progress through the system.
Journal Considers Research article, Review articles, editorial, letter, case reports, short communications, original articles from leading scientists and scholars around the world in all areas of related to Malignantosteoid, Multilobular tumour of bone, Chondrosarcoma, Chordoma, Osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcomaetc., which come under the scope of the journal.
You may submit your manuscript as an e-mail attachment to the Editorial Office at orthooncol@scholarlymed.com, orthooncol@orthopaedicsjournals.com
