Bone and soft tissue tumors are very frequent. Less than 1% of them, however, are malignant, so-called sarcomas. Among these sarcomas, more than 50 different subtypes have been discerned, each individually rare and with its own biological and clinical features. Despite numerous breakthroughs in the last few decades, the proportion (around 1/3) who cannot be cured remains too high. Thus, better app

Tumors of the brain, spinal cord and the pituitary comprise about one hundred different entities. The most common, and also the most aggressive, brain tumor in adults is glioblastoma. Patients suffering glioblastoma have a short median overall survival time despite extensive surgical resection and adjuvant chemo- and radiotherapy. Tumor recurrence almost invariably occurs and poses one of the most
