Soft tissue sarcoma diagnostics and prognostics are challenging, particularly in highly malignant and pleomorphic subtypes such as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and leiomyosarcoma (LMS). We applied 32K BAC-arrays and gene expression profiling to 18 extremity soft tissue LMS and 31 extre...

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor frequently harbor mutations in the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase and depend on its activity for growth. This underlies the efficacy of imatinib, a inhibitor of KIT activity, in GIST management. GIST882 is a patient derived GIST cell line that harbor a K640E exon 13 KIT ...

This study funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) involves conducting a genome-wide association study of common genetic variants to identify markers of susceptibility to bladder cancer.

This bladder GWAS has led to the discovery of three novel regions in the genome associated with...

Metastatic melanoma is an aggressive treatment-refractory malignancy. Recently, c-Kit mutations were discovered in certain mucosal melanomas. A clinical trial was initiated with the c-Kit inhibitor imatinib mesylate. The first treated patient experienced dramatic clinical improvement within days, f...
