LID - e5 [pii] LID - 10.2106/JBJS.RVW.15.00092 [doi] AB - Many sarcomas such as osteosarcoma have complex molecular compositions and behaviors that make standardized treatment difficult for patients with these tumors. Chromosomal translocations are noted in specific bone and soft-tissue sarcomas, and there are molecular tests (polymerase chain reaction [PCR] and fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH]) used for accurate diagnosis. The translocations noted in sarcomas may allow future therapeutic targeting. FAU - Wustrack, Rosanna AU - Wustrack R AD - University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California.
