Genomic comparison of post-radiation versus sporadic sarcomas. Genomic comparison of post-radiation versus sporadic sarcomas

Post-radiation sarcomas are rare secondary cancers arising from radiation therapies. To date, few genetic specificities have been described for such malignancies and the oncogenesis of sarcomas with complex genetics (both sporadic and post-radiation) remains largely misunderstood. We performed genomic analyses on both sporadic and post-radiation sarcomas to study their copy-number alterations. This analysis is described in Lesluyes et al. 2019 (PMID: 31243333). Overall design: We used DNA-arrays on 56 sporadic (Affymetrix SNP6 arrays) and 77 post-radiation (Affymetrix CytoScanHD) sarcomas.
