Emerging therapies for soft-tissue sarcomas

Alice Levard et al. Hematol Oncol Clin North Am. 2013 Oct.

Abstract

Sarcomas are heterogeneous group of tumors that arise from tissues of mesenchymal origin. Current options for patients with advanced disease are limited, and only 2 drugs have been approved for these diseases over the last decade. Although several drugs are currently under development for soft-tissue sarcoma as a whole, improved understanding of sarcoma biology has led to the emergence of subtype-specific targeted therapy. This article reviews recent clinical data on emerging therapies for soft-tissue sarcoma.
