A detailed landscape of genomic alterations in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor cell lines challenges the current MPNST diagnosis
2022-05-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are soft tissue sarcomas that arise from the peripheral nervous system. Half of the tumors develop in the context of the genetic disease Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and the rest are sporadic sarcomas. MPNSTs have a dismal prognosis due to their aggressiveness and tendency to metastasize, and new treatment options are needed. The diagnosis of...
