Chondrosarcoma Foundation Efforts to Promote Genomic Sequencing Tests

April 22, 2024 4:27 pm Published by Comments Off on Chondrosarcoma Foundation Efforts to Promote Genomic Sequencing Tests

Genomic sequencing is a promising tool for expanding the treatment options for chondrosarcoma patients. Genomic sequencing technologies are capable of characterizing known and novel clinically relevant biomarkers, like IDH1/2, and is becoming a useful tool for drug development, facilitating drug target discovery, clinical trial patient selection, and clinical correlate analyses to improve the quality and [...]


Biology and Management of High-Grade Chondrosarcoma: An Update on Targets and Treatment Options

April 4, 2024 12:36 pm Published by Comments Off on Biology and Management of High-Grade Chondrosarcoma: An Update on Targets and Treatment Options

Abstract This review provides an overview of histopathology, clinical presentation, molecular pathways, and potential new systemic treatments of high-grade chondrosarcomas (CS), including grade 2–3 conventional, dedifferentiated, and mesenchymal CS. The diagnosis of CS combines radiological and histological data in conjunction with patient clinical presentations. Conventional CS is the most frequent subtype of CS (85%) and [...]
