“We are so grateful to the National Leiomyosarcoma Foundation for supporting out research! This support will allow us to develop and interrogate much needed laboratory models of leiomyosarcoma. For this first time, we will be using high-throughput drug screening approaches in patient samples and xenograft models to identify novel and targeted therapies, which we aim to translate into novel clinical trials and treatment options for patients. This urgently needed work wouldn’t be possible without the support form NLMSF!
NLMSF Grant for 2021-2022:
* Define the molecular mechanisms that regulate the accumulation and pathologic activation of TIM (Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells) present in Human LMS.
to checkpoint blockage in a 3D human model of LMS.

LMS. Evaluating patient response through a multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation of patient response to current treatment therapies continues to facilitate exploration of new/ more effective treatment options, and promotes the acceleration of treatment advancements for the full spectrum of the sarcoma population.
an analysis would enable clinicians to identify patients who could safely undergo laparoscopic procedures using power morcellators. A “liquid biopsy” test based on the analysis of tumor-associated genetic aberrations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma maybe of great use such situations.
