Sarcomas are a rare subgroup of pediatric cancers comprised of a variety of bone and soft-
tissue tumors. While significant advances have been made in improving outcomes of
patients with localized pediatric sarcomas since the addition of systemic chemotherapy to

technologies to study cancer genomes, transcriptomes and epigenomes, our understanding …
