Abstract

This is the report of the 2nd Joint ENCCA/EuroSARC European Bone Sarcoma Network Meeting held in Leiden, The Netherlands, on 26-27 September 2013, bringing together preclinical and clinical investigators on bone sarcoma. The purpose of this workshop was to present the achievements of biological research and clinical trials in bone sarcomas and to stimulate crosstalk.

Introduction

This is the report of the 2nd Joint ENCCA/EuroSARC European Bone Sarcoma Network Meeting held in Leiden, The Netherlands, on 26-27 September 2013, bringing together preclinical and clinical investigators on bone sarcoma. The meeting was organized by Stefan Bielack, representing ENCCA (European Network for Cancer research in Children and Adolescents, Work Package 7 (Bone sarcomas)), Bass Hassan, representing EuroSARC (EUROpean clinical trials in rare SARComas within an integrated translational trial network), Anne-Marie Cleton-Jansen representing both and Pauline de Graaf (Leiden, The Netherlands), representing both. The purpose of this workshop was to present the achievements and current status of biological and translational research and clinical trials in bone sarcomas and to stimulate crosstalk. Future work will be to establish a dedicated panel of genes for the identification of drivers and pathways, and analysis of the data in the clinical context of subtypes, prognosis and potential targets for treatment
