Omic approaches to pediatric bone sarcomas

Elisa Tirtei et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer. 2020 Feb.

Abstract

Over the last decade, next-generation sequencing technologies have improved our ability to assess biological aspects, at genomic and transcriptomic levels, on a large scale- and have been increasingly used for the management of adult cancers. However, their efficacy and feasibility within pediatrics is still under investigation. "Omic" approaches represent an opportunity to understand the oncogenic mechanisms driving the onset and progression of bone sarcoma and improve the clinical management of young patients with bone sarcomas. This review focuses on the current genomic and transcriptomic characteristics of managing pediatric patients, affected by Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma.

Keywords: Ewing sarcoma; genomic; next-generation sequencing; osteosarcoma; pediatric oncology; transcriptomic.
