Three main molecular types (H3.3 mutant, IDH mutant, and H3.3/IDH wild-type) and a number of subtypes have been identified. We provide an overview…

Abstract PMID: 34142883 DOI: 10.1177/10668969211027293 Link: https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=70cz3rUAAAAJ&citation_for_view=70cz3rUAAAAJ:LkGwnXOMwfcC Alveolar soft part sarcomas (ASPSs) are rare malignant tumors representing ∼1% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Most ASPS occurring in the central nervous system are metastases. In contrast, primary intracranial ASPSs are extremely rare…

Its etiology…
