In conclusion, in BE patients with baseline HGD/IMC, both DNA content abnormality and treatment with EMR alone were significantly associated with persistent/recurrent HGD/IMC or EAC following each endoscopic session. DNA content abnormality as detected by DNA flow cytometry identifies HGD/IMC patients at highest risk for persistent/recurrent HGD/IMC or EAC, and it also serves as a diagnostic marker of HGD/IMC with an estimated sensitivity of 77%. The diagnosis of HGD/IMC in the setting of abnormal DNA content may warrant alternative treatment strategies as well as long-term follow-up with shorter surveillance intervals.Chondrosarcomas are the second most common malignant bone tumor. Activating promoter mutations in telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) was recently described by us and others as a frequent mutation in high-grade chondrosarcoma. In this study, we investigate the prognostic significance of TERT promoter mutations in 241 chondrosarcomas from 190 patients collected over 24 years (1994-2017). The TERT promoter was sequenced after microdissection of 135 chondrosarcomas from 106 patients in addition to data from our previous cohort. The TERT promoter mutation at -124 C > T was found in 45% of all patients and was significantly associated (p > 0,001) with higher tumor grade, shorter metastasis-free survival, and disease-specific survival. Additionally, TERT promoter-mutated tumors were associated with a more aggressive metastatic pattern. Shorter survival was observed in patients with wild-type primary tumors who developed a mutated metastasis indicative of tumor progression. Primary tumor genetic heterogeneity and altering mutational status between nonsynchronous metastatic lesions suggests that chondrosarcoma is a multiclonal disease progressing through a branching evolution.
