  10. PROTHETS - OBJECTIVES • Prognostic factors: fusion transcripts, secondary cytogenetic and molecular alterations, CD99, IGF-IR, NOVH, erbB-2, TTF1 • Targeted therapeutic approaches: EWS/FLI1, CD99, erbB-2, IGF-IR, TRAIL • Genomic profiles for evaluation of tumor progression and response to chemotherapy

  11. 87 primary or established cell lines 445 paraffin block material 145 frozen material 80 serum collected from ESFT pts 3 tissue arrays More than 200 inclusions for EM WP3: Prognostic relevance of selected promising predictive markers

  12. Evaluation of prognostic value of new genes GALS3BP HINT1 STOML2 CANX FVT1 RPS4Y1 Prognostic value in a very small clinical series: 36 primary untreated biopsies, homogenous for histology, checked for RNA quality • Confirmatory studies: Protein analysis  Tissue Array • Functional studies: in vitro siRNA silencing or forced expression
