Abstract

Microarray technology allows the rapid analysis of expression of thousands of genes in a sample. Gene expression profiles are likely characteristic of subtypes of sarcomas and may be useful in diagnosis and classification of this heterogeneous group of tumors. Gene expression may also be useful prognostically with respect to the natural history and response to therapy of these tumors.
