Sarcomas are uncommon malignancies that represent more than 50 different tumor types. Surgery remains the mainstay of treating localised disease. Anthracycline and ifosfamide-based chemotherapy is an option for advanced disease; however, effective treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma remains a challenge. Advances in understanding the genetic nature of cancer have led to the development of new treatment options for sarcoma. Sunitinib malate is an oral multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor with antiangiogenic properties and promising activity in the treatment of GIST refractory to imatinib, however in either soft tissue sarcoma, experience with sunitinib is under development in different clinical trials. In this review we offer the experience with this small molecular target in non-GIST sarcomas.

A minimal vertex model explains how the amnioserosa avoids fluidization during dorsal closure.

Dorsal closure is a process that occurs during embryogenesis of . During dorsal closure, the amnioserosa (AS), a one-cell thick epithelial tissue that fills the dorsal opening, shrinks as the lateral epidermis sheets converge and eventually merge. During this process, both shape index and aspect ratio of amnioserosa cells increase markedly.

Purpose: We aimed to identify the transcriptomic signatures of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) related to radioresistance and establish a model to predict radioresistance.
Materials And Methods: Nine STS cell lines were cultured. Adenosine triphosphate-based viability was determined 5 days after irradiation with 8 Gy of X-rays in a single fraction.

Advanced technology and increasing knowledge about aging faces have combined to create the illusion of thread lifting to replace surgical interventions. However, results that came far beyond expectations led to a heavy suspicion of these tools. However, combined treatments with fillers would have better outcomes with a synergetic effect.

Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors composed of mature adipocytes, commonly found in subcutaneous tissues. Despite their prevalence in various body regions, they are relatively rare in the oral and maxillofacial regions. This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging characteristics, as well as the treatment outcomes of 57 patients diagnosed with lipoma.
