MYC expression has limited utility in the distinction of undifferentiated radiation-associated sarcomas from sporadic sarcomas and sarcomatoid carcinoma.

MYC expression is infrequent among RASs other than angiosarcoma, and has a similar prevalence in sporadic sarcomas. Given the frequency of expression in sarcomatoid carcinomas, MYC expression outside the context of radiation-associated angiosarcoma is of limited diagnostic utility, and should be interpreted with caution after exclusion of sarcomatoid carcinoma where relevant.
