Small round cell sarcomas.
Seminars in Oncology 2009 August
Small round cell sarcomas are the most aggressive of the tumors morphologically and clinically encountered in children and adults, and in some ways the most leukemia- or lymphoma-like of sarcomas. Small round cell sarcomas often are associated with chromosomal translocations, like hematologic malignancies, and are usually more sensitive to chemotherapy than other sarcoma subtypes. They have a high risk of mortality, but chemotherapy (in addition to surgery and often radiation therapy) provides a good cure rate, although treatment is often long and intensive. The biology of these tumors is very telling in terms of some of the mechanisms of cancer cell survival and proliferation. Although there is some overlap of the discussion below with the section on translocation associated sarcomas, we have highlighted some of the key issues with these sarcomas below, with some ideas that may bear fruit both in terms of the management of these, other sarcomas, and other cancers alike.
