Resumen
Despite being a group of rare diseases of mesenchymal origin, soft tissue sarcomas are heterogenous and display varying clinical behavior, and depending on the subtype, intermediate- and high-grade sarcomas have significant metastatic potential, making it difficult to establish a standardized therapy. Our work, as well as studies by others, emphasizes the high potential of immunotherapy for the treatment of sarcoma. The aim of this study was to determine whether specific genomic alterations, as well as the expression of infiltrating cytotoxic and suppressive cell type markers identified by next-generation sequencing (NGS), warrant further consideration of immunotherapy agents for treating certain soft tissue sarcoma subtypes. Altogether, our data provide a better understanding of the immune composition of different sarcoma subtypes to better identify novel therapy targets.
