Abstract
It is well known that “accurate classification of a given tumor is often not easy, so much that acknowledged international experts are still unable to pin a label on about 10% of sarcomas”(Fletcher 1990). In this context, the characterization of new tumor markers is of paramount interest for the diagnosis, prognosis, and classification of soft tissue tumors (Sandberg and Turc-Carel 1987; Molenaar et al. 1989; Fletcher et al. 1991).
