In the cover paper of this week's issue of Oncotarget (Volume 12, Issue 8), titled, "Prognostic and therapeutic value of the Hippo pathway, RABL6A, and p53-MDM2 axes in sarcomas," researchers examined five potential biomarkers across 18 different histologic subtypes of sarcoma in 163 tissue samples. Immunohistochemical staining, statistical analysis, and correlation-based network analysis revealed promising results.



Researchers from the University of Iowa, University of Alabama at Birmingham, and the Mayo Clinic, report the need for additional prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers to predict clinical behavior across different histological types of sarcoma. 



“Although the French (FNCLCC) and NCI grading schemes have been adopted for many sarcomas, there is a substantial subset of sarcomas for which the grading scheme does not adequately predict clinical behavior.”
