Popis: SFT is an ultrarare mesenchymal ubiquitous tumor, with an incidence rate NAB2–STAT6 oncogenic fusion, which is the pathognomonic hallmark of SFT, is supposedly involved in the overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These specific biological features encouraged the successful assessment of antiangiogenic drugs. Overall, antiangiogenic therapies showed a significant activity toward SFT in the advanced/metastatic setting. Nevertheless, these promising results warrant additional investigation to be validated, including randomized phase III trials and biological translational analysis, to understand and predict mechanisms of efficacy and resistance. While the therapeutic potential of immunotherapy remains elusive, the use of antiangiogenics as first-line treatment should be considered.
