Sarcoma—Clinical Updates: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue "Sarcoma—Clinical Updates: 2nd Edition". This is a new edition; we published five papers in the first volume. For more details, please visit https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/P3WPZ1GA0R.

Because of the rarity of these tumors and the wide variety of histologic subtypes, sarcoma has historically been an elusive entity to research. As a result, there have been few clinical advancements in the treatment of sarcoma in the last three decades. However, advanced scientific techniques, improvements in collaborative research, and a focus on histologic-specific investigation has led to exciting recent discoveries, paving the way for improved diagnosis and prognostication in addition to the development of novel therapeutics, such as targeted molecular therapies and immunotherapies. However, more work is still required to understand the patients and tumors which these existing therapies most benefit and how best to further investigate and expand these types of therapeutics to improve outcomes for broader populations of sarcoma patients.

The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight research that improves our understanding of sarcoma biology and prognostication, identify novel biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets, and investigate treatment strategies that improve oncologic and/or functional outcomes. 

Dr. Julia Visgauss
