Summary
Sarcoma (MONDO:0005089) is a cancer (an umbrella term covering 22 Mondo subtypes) caused by TP53 (GenCC Strong), with 22 cohort genes (21 CIViC-evidence somatic drivers; 16 ClinVar predisposition records) and 808 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is Stabilization of p53 (4 cohort genes). Molecularly, EWSR1::FLI1 Fusion OR EWSR1::WT1 Fusion OR EWSR1::ATF1 Fusion confers sensitivity to Trabectedin in Sarcoma (CIViC Level B); 17 further subtype–drug associations are mapped below. Top therapeutic interventions include dexrazoxane, ifosfamide, and 2-mercaptoethanesulfonic acid.

No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Drug repurposing candidates
30 approved/phased drugs hit cohort targets but don’t yet appear in disease-level clinical trials. Target-inhibition rationale is strongest for cancer driver genes; a bioactivity hit is a screening signal, not a treatment claim.
