    Adjunct Professor of Oncological Sciences

    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.

    Patient Rating

    Rating: 4.9 out of 5
    4.9 /5
    ( out of 157 reviews )

    The patient rating score is an average of all responses on our patient experience survey. The rating averages scores for all questions about care from our providers.

    The scale on which responses are measured is 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.

    Patient Comments

    Patient comments are gathered from our patient experience survey and displayed in their entirety. For the convenience of our visitors, some patient comments have been translated from their original language into English while preserving their original meaning as accurately as possible. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

    Dr. Jones is courteous and cried to me. However he could've been prepared for this very important conference call.
