The identification of mutations and deletions in the SMARCB1 locus in chromosome band
22q11. 2 in pediatric rhabdoid tumors provided the first evidence for the involvement of the …

Synovial sarcomas are aggressive spindle cell sarcomas containing in some cases areas of

Purpose To assess the prognostic value of SYT-SSX fusion type, in comparison with other
factors, in a population of 165 patients with synovial sarcoma (SS). Patients and Methods …

Synovial sarcoma is an aggressive soft-tissue malignancy marked by a unique t (X; 18)
translocation leading to expression of a chimeric SYT-SSX fusion protein. We report here a …

Oncogenesis in synovial sarcoma is driven by the chromosomal translocation t (X, 18; p11,
q11), which generates an in-frame fusion of the SWI/SNF subunit SS18 to the C-terminal …

Diagnosing monophasic fibrous and poorly differentiated synovial sarcoma (SS) on
