Abstract

Sarcoma genetics carries important clinical implications for the screening, diagnosis, and management of patients and their families. However, most sarcomas develop sporadically. Management of patients with hereditary sarcoma syndromes is complex and requires lifelong surveillance and multi-disciplinary care to minimize death from cancer and to maximize quality of life preservation.
