Prognosis and Follow-Up Recommendations for Subcutaneous and Dermal Leiomyosarcoma: Local Recurrence, Metastasis, and Overall Survival in a Danish Nationwide Cohort of 661 Patients. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives The prognostic differences between subcutaneous leiomyosarcoma and dermal leiomyosarcoma are not well defined due to limited cohort sizes and insufficient follow‐up in prior studies. This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological features of subcutaneous and dermal leiomyosarcoma and estimate their 10‐year ...

Lineage-defined leiomyosarcoma subtypes emerge years before diagnosis and determine patient survival
Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are genetically heterogeneous tumors differentiating along smooth muscle lines. Currently, LMS treatment is not informed by molecular subtyping and is associated with highly variable survival. While disease site continues to dictate
