aOne patient with PLS had a primary tumor in the extremity as well as a metastatic lesion in the lung which was included on the TMA. Therefore, the total number of PLS patients is 31, not 32

bOther locations include lung (n = 4 patients, 5 samples) and chest/back (n = 3 patients, 3 samples)

cSeveral patients had multiple tumor samples included on the TMA
