What is "sarcoma"?
Sarcoma is a type of cancer that originates in the body's connective tissues, such as bones, muscles, fat, cartilage, or blood vessels. There are many different types of sarcoma, categorized into bone sarcomas and soft tissue sarcomas. Symptoms vary depending on the location and size of the tumor but may include a noticeable lump, swelling, pain, or difficulty with movement. Sarcomas can occur anywhere in the body and can grow and spread quickly. Treatment options typically include surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving the chances of successful treatment and reducing the risk of the cancer coming back.
