Soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) are a rare and heterogeneous group of tumors with mesenchymal origin, including muscle, endothelium, cartilage. Several common STSs have harbored translocations, which represent clinical targets. In addition to translocations, other genomic changes and epigenetic mechanisms have been shown to be involved in the histogenesis of STS.
