Felix Haglund and Magnus Carlsson discuss how Whole-Genome and Transcriptome Sequencing (WGTS) is transforming sarcoma diagnosis. Dr Haglund highlights findings from his recent study at Karolinska Hospital (PMID: 38573684), demonstrating WGTS´s superior diagnostic yield compared to standard-of-care tests. This comprehensive sequencing approach is now part of routine diagnostics for all sarcoma patients at Karolinska, enabling more precise and personalized care.

Felix Haglund MD PhD is the Director of Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology and Consultant Clinical Pathologist at Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.

Magnus Carlsson is the former President of the Swedish Sarcoma Association, Stockholm, Sweden.
