The heparanase/HSPG system is a critical player in tumor growth and progression.
Heparanase expression is associated with aggressiveness and poor prognosis in various sarcomas.
Expression of specific HSPGs is deregulated in specific sarcoma subtypes.
Heparanase/HSPG-dependent signaling pathways are deregulated in sarcoma subtypes.
The heparanase/HSPG axis represents an attractive therapeutic target in sarcomas.
