Abstract
Synovial sarcoma is a translocation-associated soft-tissue malignancy that frequently affects adolescents and young adults. It is driven by one of the fusion oncoproteins SS18-SSX1, SS18-SSX2, or rarely, SS18-SSX4. Prognosis of patients with recurrent or metastatic disease is generally poor, and newer therapeutic strategies are needed. In this review, we present recent discoveries in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of synovial sarcoma. We discuss potential therapeutic strategies to improve clinical outcomes in this disease.
