  • osteosarcoma survival data set

    Hi all,

    I am a researcher at St. Anna Children's Cancer Research Institute in Vienna, Austria.

    I was wondering if anyone of you would know a publicly available dataset of osteosarcoma survival times (from day of diagnosis or day of first surgery). That would be highly appreciated.
    Also, I am interested in Ewing sarcoma and soft-tissue sarcoma dataset.

    Thank you so much in advance for your help!

    Best regards
    Friedrich Erhart

      Yes, I tried that. They have a lot of gene expression datasets for adult sarcomas. What I am looking for, however, are survival data sets for pediatric osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and soft-tissue sarcoma.

      Thank you all for your help! :-)

        You may have to find relevant paper(s) and then contact the authors to get survival data. I am not if you are going to find this information from a public resource.

          I think though the answer to your question can come from common sense . . osteosarcoma is an aggressive type of bone cancer and it stands to reason that if a patient is found at an early stage of the disease it is far easier to treat successfully than when it is in an advanced state. But there are no guarantees . . even in the early stages osteosarcoma is aggressive and nasty enough that heavy duty treatments are often required to PREVENT it from advancing. Survival depends on many factors . . age of patient, patients overall health, location of tumors, grade of tumor, and patients response to first line treatment . . not to mention a good amount of 'luck'. People with single tumors who might not survive would include those who are in poor health to begin with, those unable to undergo treatments, those who succumb to the treatment or surgery, those whose age works against them, those who do not survive infections or those who due to other health issues cannot complete or must use reduced treatment options .. and there may be other reasons as well.

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
