Abstract
The completion of multiple national pediatric precision oncology platform trials and the incorporation of standardized molecular profiling into the diagnostic care of pediatric and young adult patients with sarcomas have proven the feasibility and potential of the approach. In this work, we explore the current state of the art of precision oncology for pediatric and young adults with sarcoma. We highlight important lessons learned and the challenges that should be addressed in the next generation of trials. The chapter outlines current efforts to improve standardization of molecular assays, harmonization of data collection, and novel molecular tools such as cell-free DNA analyses. Finally, we discuss the impacts and psychosocial outcomes experienced by patients and communication strategies for providers.
