Abstract excerpt
Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) belongs to the class of genetically complex sarcomas and shows numerous, often non-recurrent chromosomal imbalances and aberrations. We investigated a group of LMS using NGS platform to identify recurrent genetic abnormalities and possible therapeutic targets. Targeted exome sequencing of 230 cancer-associated genes was performed on 35 primary soft tissue and visceral (extra-uterine) LMS....
