The incidence rate for sarcoma is <a href=\"https://cancerblog.mayoclinic.org/2022/07/14/be-aware-of-the-rare-cancer-called-sarcoma/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">less than 1%</a> of new adult cases annually.</p>\n\n<p>A comprehensive approach to cancer diagnosis is crucial, particularly for rare cancers like sarcoma. Sarcomas can occur in any body part. Sarcomas can occur in people of all ages but are more commonly diagnosed in children and young adults.</p>\n\n<h2>What Causes Sarcoma?</h2>\n\n<p>The exact cause of sarcoma is unknown, but several factors can increase the risk of developing this type of cancer:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Genetic predisposition</strong>. Certain inherited genetic conditions, such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome or neurofibromatosis, increase sarcoma risk;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Radiation exposure</strong>. Previous exposure to radiation therapy, especially for treating other cancers, can lead to the development of sarcoma in the treated area;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Chemical exposure</strong>. Prolonged exposure to chemicals like dioxins and herbicides has been linked to a higher risk of sarcoma;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Chronic lymphedema</strong>. A long-term build-up of lymph fluid in the tissues can cause a specific type of sarcoma called angiosarcoma.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><img alt=\"soft tissue cancer treatment\" src=\"https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/bookimed/_images_without_dir/66e03ceba7fa4.jpeg\" style=\"width: 400px; height: 400px;\"></p>\n\n<h2>What Are the Types of Sarcoma?</h2>\n\n<p>Sarcomas are divided into two main categories: <strong>bone sarcomas</strong> and <strong>soft tissue sarcomas</strong>.

The size of a tumor is <a href=\"https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/soft-tissue-sarcoma/stages-grades\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">around 5 cm</a>, and the cancer doesn't spread to the nearby lymph nodes.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Stage II</strong>. The tumor is smaller than 5 cm and doesn't metastasize. However, the pathologist can see mutated cancer cells under the microscope.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Stage III</strong>. The tumor is 5-10 cm, and the cells look very different from normal tissue.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Stage IV</strong>. Sarcoma can be any size and spreads to the lymph nodes and distant organs.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>What Are the Early Symptoms of Sarcoma?</h2>\n\n<p>The symptoms of sarcoma vary depending on the <strong>tumor's location and size</strong>. Some common symptoms include:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>A painless lump or swelling in the soft tissues (arms, legs, or abdomen).</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Persistent bone pain that worsens over time.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Limited movement or difficulty using the affected limb.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Fatigue, weight loss, or unexplained fever.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Unfortunately, sarcoma symptoms can often be mistaken for other conditions, leading to a delayed diagnosis. It won’t happen with patients who leave a request on <a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>Bookimed</u></a>. The experienced onologists will analyze the symptoms and align your treatment strategy with your disease history.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Detect Soft Tissue Sarcomas Early?</h2>\n\n<p>Early detection of sarcoma can significantly improve treatment outcomes. Several diagnostic tools are used to identify sarcomas:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Imaging tests</strong>, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and PET scans, detect and assess tumors’ size and location;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Biopsy</strong>, to examine a tissue sample under a microscope and confirm the cancer cells;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Genetic testing</strong>. Some sarcomas are the result of genetic mutations. Looking for specific gene changes can affect treatment choices.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>What Are the Treatment Options for Sarcoma?</h2>\n\n<p>Treatment for sarcoma depends on its type, location, and stage and often involves a combination of sarcoma treatment options:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>👨🏻‍⚕️ </strong><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=removal-of-ewing-s-sarcoma/?cleanCache=623\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Surgery</strong></a> is the <strong>primary treatment</strong> for localized sarcoma.
