Synovial sarcoma is a rare and aggressive disease, accounting for 5%-10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Diagnosis is often challenging, but referral to a specialist center is crucial for optimal outcomes. Treatment strategies for localized disease include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, while advanced disease has a poor prognosis and requires novel management strategies such as targeted agents and immunotherapies.
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare and aggressive disease that accounts for 5%-10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Although it can occur at any age, it typically affects younger adults and children, with a peak incidence in the fourth decade of life. In >95% of cases, the oncogenic driver is a translocation between chromosomes X and 18 that leads to the formation of the SS18::SSX fusion oncogenes. Early and accurate diagnosis is often a challenge; optimal outcomes are achieved by referral to a specialist center for diagnosis and management by a multidisciplinary team as soon as SS is suspected. Surgery with or without radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy can be effective in localized disease, especially in children. However, the prognosis in the advanced stages is poor, with treatment strategies that have relied heavily on traditional cytotoxic chemotherapies. Therefore, there is an unmet need for novel effective management strategies for advanced disease. An improved understanding of disease pathology and its molecular basis has paved the way for novel targeted agents and immunotherapies that are being investigated in clinical trials. This review provides an overview of the epidemiology and characteristics of SS in children and adults, as well as the patient journey from diagnosis to treatment. Current and future management strategies, focusing particularly on the potential of immunotherapies to improve clinical outcomes, are also summarized.
