As an orthopaedic surgeon specialized in the care of pediatric and adult patients with sarcoma, I see first-hand the limitations and frank failures of the currently available treatment options. Not only do we fail to cure far too many young patients with sarcomas, but the long-term effects of our treatments create other major challenges to the health of the survivors in the long term.
With protected time for basic investigation, I dedicate my entire laboratory to the study of pediatric and young adult fusion oncogene-associated sarcomas. In efforts always angling toward improved targeted therapies, we use mouse genetic models of sarcomagenesis to dissect pathways of importance to initiation and progression of tumors. This work utilizes conditional activation of translocation-associated fusion oncogenes as well as manipulation of additional modifying genes directed toward improved understanding of the conditions that promote or inhibit sarcomagenesis. This work has led to generous experience with comparative genomics and epigenomics.
The simple genetic changes that drive translocation-associated sarcomas make a strong argument for cancer being defined as a transcriptional state for cells, rather than a state of accumulated mutations or genetic losses and gains. The study of the epigenetic determinants of this transcriptional state in cells that harbor very few genetic code alterations has already revealed important knowledge that pertains to more complex genome cancer types as well as to transcriptional biology more generally.
I also believe firmly in the synergy possible in collaborative team science. Such efforts are required for progress toward improved treatments for rare malignancies that can never be studied with optimal efficacy in a silo. With such collaborative work as direct goal, I have participated in and assembled teams to work on pediatric sarcomas both within my institution and internationally.

doctor Kevin Jones not only is he a great doctor, but goes out of his way to become your friend. as I was going thru my cancer treatments knowing my doctor was my friend showed me he was willing to do anything he could to heal me and to listen to me when there was a problem and find a solution. Thank you Dr Kevin Jones

Dr Jones is our favorite. He shows so much care and concern for our son and explains things very well. He takes time to listen and answer question and goes the extra mile. Sometimes we have to wait a little longer but it is worth it to see him. I think it's because he takes time and doesn't seem rushed when he visits with us.

worst dr ever. honestly he should not be dealing with children his bedside manners were awful. the way he treated and talked to my daughter was just not right. he had my daughter crying to the point she shut down and quit talking to everyone in the room.

we came in for 2 "problems " and everything was explained very clearly. all the doctors made Kenna feel very involved and didn't leave her out of the conversation. they ALL were very kind and understanding. We weren't sure what we would be dealing with and they reassured us during the entire visit and we were lucky that it was nothing serious. But if it was, I would not hesitate for a second in returning here. wonderful care.

UofU Patient
January 17, 2018
I got worried and scared after he told me for the 3rd or 4th time that he had never seen my daughter's injury before and the first surgery failed and the screws pulled through her bone. This was a scary situation and it failed once. So I guess I could have used some reassurance that everything would be ok.
UofU Patient
January 02, 2018
Dr Jones is probably the best surgeon and physician I have ever come across. He speaks in plain English but you can see that he is extremely knowledgeable about sarcoma and the human anatomy. This is the doctor everyone wants to have but there is only one of him.

Dr Jones is a class A doctor. Very knowledgeable, considerate, sensitive to patients specific needs (my son has an anxiety issue and Aspergers). We absolutely love Dr Jones. He listens very intently to us, looks to be processing and evaluating while we speak and then responds and explains things with great effort to be both thorough and clear. Working with Dr Jones was a wonderful experience. (Plus he smiles, has a natural soft laugh, and shows great respect and actually affection for my son). If every doctor were like Dr Jones- the world would be a much happier place. _____ (______ mom)

I hope no one I know ever needs this kind of a doctor, but if they do I would recommend Dr. Jones.
UofU Patient
December 04, 2015
because he didn't know what he was seeing and called it curious. it's hard when the Dr doesn't know what it is. And we can't do anything until she stops growing. even after that I got the impression that their wasn't a good option to getting the problem taken care of. they didn't know what surgery they could do and I left feeling like their was nothing we could do. basically if it hurts bad enough stop doing what you are doing. my daughter likes to run and is in track and x country. running hurts her and not running isn't an option for her.
UofU Patient
September 18, 2015
We've never met a Dr. like Dr. Jones. We've never felt like anyone cared so much for our child. This was the hardest experience of our lives and he went way beyond normal measures to take care of us.

I am so fortunate to have a doctor such as Dr. Jones who took excellent care of the tumor in my leg/hip and gives me hope that the leg will serve me well as I proceed through cancer treatments and beyond.

Research Statement
With 80 percent protected time for academic pursuits, and an independent laboratory at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, I focus most of my research on dissecting the genetic and epigenetic underpinnings of sarcoma initiation. Although sarcomas are rare cancers, the tissues which give rise to sarcomas when they become cancerous are the predominant tissues in the human body, the muscles, tendons, bones, vessels, fat, etc. These tissues derive from mesenchyme or mesoderm. While many organ-based cancer cells gain some characteristics of mesenchyme or mesoderm as they become malignant, turning mesenchyme itself into cancer is much more difficult. The intrinsic resistance to transformation (the process of becoming cancerous) in mesenchyme has brought particular focus to any factor capable of overcoming that resistance and forming cancers from connective tissues.Thus, sarcomas--not only in spite of, but actually because of their low frequency in the general population--have played a central role in the fundamental discoveries of cancer biology. For example, radium dial painters developing osteosarcomas led to the discovery that radiation causes cancer. Oncogenes, the tumor causing genes, were discovered by study of a virus that caused sarcomas in birds. Tumor suppressor genes, the genes that when turned off lead to cancer, were discovered because families had too many sarcomas (Even two is way too common in any one family!) We therefore pursue sarcoma biology vigorously not only because we need to generate better treatment strategies for this horrible group of cancers that impacts young people disproportionately, but also because sarcoma will likely yet teach us much more about cancer biology in general, especially its beginnings.
