Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I hope that sharing the clinical topics of malignant bone and soft tissue tumours, which are rare cancers, in this Special Issue will lead to the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods for malignant bone and soft tissue tumours. In addition, promotion of basic research is indispensable for the development of novel diagnostic and treatment methods for malignant bone and soft tissue tumours, and it is necessary to share research topics. Furthermore, regarding cancer research, molecular biology has progressed since the 2000s, and omics analysis (comprehensive analysis) research has become the mainstream of cancer research. However, as a result, few studies have led to new biomarkers or new therapeutic agents for cancers. Based on these facts, the importance of steady research using cells and animal models is reconfirmed by regarding cancer as a living thing. Therefore, this Special Issue also mentions the current status of the patient-derived sarcoma models.
