Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a rare component of malignant diseases. STS includes various histological subtypes, and there are some important differences among the different histological subtypes regarding the mutation profile and sensitivity to antitumor agents. Many clinical trials of STS incorporating many different histological subtypes in various populations have been conducted; it is difficult to compare the findings and make conclusions about clinical efficacy. Targeted therapies focusing on specific histological subtypes and precision therapy focusing on the specific genetic mutation(s) of each STS patient are being investigated. Since STS patients are a small population, new clinical trial designs are required to evaluate and establish new targeted therapies for each histological subtype that has a limited number of patients, and preclinical investigations are needed to detect targetable mutations. Now that cancer genome profiling is used in clinical practice, it is urgently necessary to connect the genome profiling data obtained in clinical settings to the optimal clinical treatment strategies. Herein we review the development and challenges of precision therapy in the management of STS patients.

AbstractBackgroundHead and neck soft tissue sarcoma is uncommon. It is both histologically and clinically heterogeneous, ranging from an indolent, locally destructive tumour, to a locally aggressive neoplasm with metastatic potential.MethodsA retrospective review was conducted of all adult head and neck soft tissue sarcomas, including cases of malignant soft tissue sarcoma and all intermediate type tumours, diagnosed between 1997 and 2012.ResultsSixty-eight cases were identified in this series from the sarcoma multidisciplinary team. Seventeen different histological subtypes of sarcoma were identified. Neither age, gender nor tumour size were significant prognostic indicators for survival in this series.ConclusionPrognosis is dependent on histological subtype, underscoring the importance of histological classification. Some histological subtypes occur only once or twice in a decade, even within a large regional referral centre. An accumulation of evidence from relatively small case series is key in the long-term development of treatment strategies.

A new virus, established as a member of the herpesvirus group by electron microscopy, was isolated from spontaneously degenerating cell cultures derived from the kidneys and lungs of two normal tree shrews. The virus was found to replicate best in cells derived from the homologous species. The cells used were a tree shrew cell line, T-23, which was derived from a spontaneous soft tissue sarcoma. The virus did not multiply or did so poorly for a limited number of passages in human, monkey, rodent, rabbit or chick embryo cells. In the T-23 cells, the virus behaved as members of the subgroup B of herpesvirus, in that the virus remained primarily cell associated.
