## TL;DR

Sarcomas are dozens of rare cancers of bone and connective tissue. GIST was the first solid tumour cured-in-practice by a targeted pill; synovial sarcoma got the first TCR-T therapy.

## Summary

Sarcomas are cancers of connective tissue: more than 70 subtypes of soft-tissue sarcoma (liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, angiosarcoma and others), bone sarcomas (osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, chondrosarcoma), gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), and locally aggressive but non-metastasising tumours such as desmoid fibromatosis and tenosynovial giant cell tumour. Together they are about 1% of adult and 15% of childhood cancers. Because each subtype is rare, expertise concentrates in reference centres, and treatment is increasingly by histotype and genotype: FNCLCC grade, size and depth define risk in soft-tissue sarcoma; KIT/PDGFRA mutations define GIST therapy; fusion genes (SS18-SSX, EWSR1-FLI1, FUS-DDIT3) define entities and, increasingly, targets.

Surgery with negative margins remains the curative act, with limb-salvage now standard and radiotherapy improving local control in soft-tissue sarcoma. Neoadjuvant anthracycline-ifosfamide benefits high-risk localised soft-tissue sarcoma (ISG-STS 1001), and multi-agent chemotherapy cures the majority of localised osteosarcoma (MAP) and Ewing sarcoma (VDC/IE, INT-0091 and Euro Ewing 2012). Advanced soft-tissue sarcoma still depends on doxorubicin with a median survival around 18-20 months; olaratumab's failure (ANNOUNCE) showed how hard that bar is to move. Subtype-specific drugs then fill in: trabectedin and eribulin for L-sarcomas, pazopanib for non-adipocytic sarcomas, and, in GIST, the sequence imatinib (3 years adjuvant, SSGXVIII), sunitinib, regorafenib and ripretinib (INVICTUS), with avapritinib for PDGFRA D842V and ctDNA-genotype-directed selection (INSIGHT) arriving. Desmoid tumours gained their first drug in nirogacestat (DeFi, 2023) and tenosynovial giant cell tumour its second in vimseltinib (MOTION, February 2025); tazemetostat for epithelioid sarcoma was withdrawn worldwide in March 2026 over secondary blood cancers.

Sarcoma is also where solid-tumour T-cell engineering first succeeded: afamitresgene autoleucel (MAGE-A4 TCR-T) was approved in 2024 and fully approved with extension to adolescents in June 2026, and letetresgene autoleucel (NY-ESO-1) has a BLA due by end-2026. Checkpoint inhibitors help a minority (alveolar soft-part sarcoma, UPS, angiosarcoma); most sarcomas are immunologically cold. The unsolved problems are metastatic osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma (survival unchanged in 30 years), the HLA restriction of TCR therapies, chemoresistance of most adult subtypes, and trial feasibility in diseases with a few hundred cases a year.

## State of the art

- Subtype-specific targeted and cellular therapies.
- First engineered T-cell therapies for a solid tumour: afami-cel (full approval and age ≥12 in June 2026) and lete-cel (BLA due 2026) for synovial sarcoma and MRCLS.
- GIST as a model of genotype-directed sequencing: four approved TKIs, a mutation-specific drug for D842V, and ctDNA-selected phase 3 (INSIGHT).
- New indications for benign but destructive tumours: nirogacestat (desmoid, 2023) and vimseltinib (TGCT, 2025).
- Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for high-risk soft-tissue sarcoma validated (ISG-STS 1001), while histotype-tailored chemotherapy was not superior.
- Ewing sarcoma treatment unified on VDC/IE after Euro Ewing 2012; interval compression and busulfan-melphalan refine it.
- Withdrawal of tazemetostat (March 2026) removed the only EZH2 drug from epithelioid sarcoma, a reminder that rare-disease approvals rest on thin safety data.

## Open problems

- Rarity limits trials.
- Chemoresistance of most subtypes.
- Metastatic osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma: survival ~20-30%, unchanged for three decades; no targeted or immune therapy has worked.
- Advanced soft-tissue sarcoma still depends on a 1970s drug (doxorubicin); every attempt to improve first-line survival (olaratumab, evofosfamide, aldoxorubicin) failed.
- TCR-T is limited to HLA-A*02 carriers, requires antigen screening, and is available at few centres.
- Most sarcomas are immunologically cold; checkpoint inhibitors help only alveolar soft-part sarcoma, some UPS and angiosarcoma.
- Rarity fragments evidence: 70+ subtypes, few randomised trials, and reliance on reference-centre expertise that is unevenly distributed.
- Long-term survivors of childhood bone sarcoma carry anthracycline cardiotoxicity, infertility and second cancers.
- Epithelioid sarcoma lost its only drug (tazemetostat) in 2026; INI1-loss tumours need new approaches.
- Desmoid and TGCT therapies raise chronic-dosing questions (ovarian toxicity, cost) in non-malignant diseases.
