"To gain information and insight into these, particularly, rare tumors, we will have to collect them for many, many years."

Today on The G Word, Vivienne Parry, our Head of Public Engagement at Genomics England is joined by Professor Adrienne Flanagan. She is the professor of musculoskeletal pathology at UCL and is perhaps the most distinguished academic in this field in Europe. She has made major contributions to the biology of osteoclasts in conditions such as osteopetrosis and made a major advance with her discovery of the locus for the gene causing cherubism. Adrienne has also been very proactive in developing collaborative links to advance genetic studies in sarcomas.

Together, they discuss the symptoms of sarcoma, what sarcoma is and its different subtypes. They also discuss the changes in Sarcoma research through genome sequencing and its future in the field of medicine.
