This cancer is considered rare but very deadly. Because there are more than 70 types of this cancer. Out of which two main types are soft tissue sarcoma and bone sarcoma.
Which part of the body is more likely to develop sarcoma cancer?
This cancer can occur anywhere from the head to the feet.
- There is a 40 percent chance of it happening on the legs, heels and feet.
- There is a 30 percent chance of it happening on the chest wall and stomach.
- There is a possibility of 15 percent in arms, wrists, hands and elbows.
- There is a possibility of 15% sarcoma in the head and neck.
the reason
No study or research has discovered the concrete cause of sarcoma. But there are some factors that can lead to its development.
Hereditary diseases such as neurofibromatosis, Gardner's syndrome and Li-Fraumeni syndrome, if treated with radiation therapy in the past, those who work in fumes and smoke may be at risk of this cancer.
symptoms
The symptoms of this cancer are different. Some patients have no or mild symptoms at first. Sarcoma cancer looks like a lump under the skin. The lump can be both painful and non-painful.
In the beginning, if you ignore it as normal, it can become serious later.

If it looks suspicious, a biopsy should be done to check the meat.
What can be done if sarcoma is confirmed?
After the sarcoma is confirmed during the test, it is observed whether it has spread to other parts. If the cancer is at an early stage, surgery is performed on the cancerous part. Then radio therapy, chemotherapy is done as needed.
But when the cancer has spread to other organs as well, the decision is made to decide whether or not to do surgery after the disease subsides by chemotherapy first. Sometimes the pain is severe. Dialytic radio therapy is necessary in such cases.
If it has spread to the lungs, bones, and liver, there is no other option but to prevent it.
Complexity
If this cancer is not treated early, there is a fear of spreading to other parts of the body. After spreading to other parts, there is no treatment. Therefore, if a lump of meat is found on such suspicious skin or bone, it should be tested immediately.
