Conclusions

Sarcomas are malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin. These account for about 20% of all malignant tumors and can arise from many tissues including bone, muscle, breast and other gynecologic sites (ovaries, uterus, vulva), head and neck, kidneys and soft tissue. The majority of the cell lines described herein were developed 20 to 30 years ago. The rhabdomyosarcoma lines of Peter Houghton were developed in the early 1980’s. More recently, laboratories have developed cell lines of a particular histology or with other specific properties of interest to that laboratory. These cell lines represent an enormous resource to the cancer research community and most are representative of the tumor of origin.
