| The
SARC Lab is a subsection of the comprehensive, interdisciplinary Sarcoma
Services at Huntsman Cancer Institute and Primary Children’s Medical
Center. The clinical service line serves as a major referral center for
sarcomas and sarcoma related diseases from throughout the western United
States and beyond. Multiple IRB approved clinical studies are underway
and the SARC Lab serves as a resource for the translational ramifications
of these investigations. Furthermore, with patients’ fully informed
consent, all relevant surgical specimens retrieved at the time of surgery
at our centers are made available to the lab for genetic profiling to
elucidate a better classification schema and understanding of the pathogenesis
for these rare but potentially deadly tumors.
