1 Molecular pathology/genetics of sarcomas Gunhild Mechtersheimer Institute of Pathology, University of Heidelberg Sarkomkonferenz: Berlin

2 Characterization of soft tissue sarcomas / STS (~ 1% of all malignancies in adulthood, ~ 55 subtypes) - the pathologist s tasks - Tumor classification Tumor grading Tumor staging Further parameters of prognostic relevance Pathogenetic principles Targets for molecular therapy => Stratification of prognosis and therapy Sarkomkonferenz: Berlin

3 Recurrent and tumor-subtype specific balanced chromosomal translocations in soft tissue sarcomas - First description in 1986 in myxoid liosarcomas - Sarkomkonferenz: Berlin

4 Genomic dichotomy of soft tissue sarcomas Simple karyotypes with specific translocations resulting in fusion genes, with amplifications, or with mutations. E.g.: - t(11;22)(q24;q12) - EWS/FLI-1 in Ewing s sarcomas - MDM2-amplification in well-differentiated liposarcomas and in dedifferentiated liposarcomas - KIT or PDGFR- mutations in GIST Complex, unbalanced karyotypes with numerous chromosomal aberrations E.g.: - undifferentiated pleomorphic high-grade sarcomas (MFH) - leiomyosaracomas -MPNST Sarkomkonferenz: Berlin

5 Soft tissue sarcomas with specific chromosomal translocations (approximately 20% of soft tissue sarcomas) Riggi et al.: J Pathol 213: 4-20, 2007 Sarkomkonferenz: Berlin
