Abstract excerpt
Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a common soft tissue sarcoma of the elderly that typically shows low tumor mutational burden, with mutations in TP53 and in genes associated with cell cycle checkpoints ( RB1 , CDKN2A ). Unfortunately, no alterations or markers specific to MFS have been identified and, as a consequence, there are no effective targeted therapies. The receptor tyrosine kinase AXL, which drives cellular...
