Sarcoma Cancer/rare cancer/oncology department/Medical Trust Hospital #cancer #Sarcomacancer #corona

A #sarcoma is a malignant #tumor, a type of #cancer that arises from transformed cells of #mesenchymal (connective tissue) origin. Connective tissue is a broad term that includes bone, cartilage, fat, vascular, or #hematopoietic tissues, and sarcomas can arise in any of these types of tissues. As a result, there are many sub types of sarcoma, which are classified based on the specific tissue and type of cell from which the tumor originates.
Sarcomas are primary connective tissue tumors, meaning that they arise in connective tissues.This is in contrast to secondary (or "metastatic") connective tissue tumors, which occur when a cancer from elsewhere in the body (such as the #lungs, #breast tissue or #prostate) spreads to the connective tissue.

Symptoms of bone sarcomas typically include bone pain, especially at night, and swelling around the site of the tumor.

Symptoms of soft-tissue sarcomas vary, but they often present as firm, painless lumps or nodules. #Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (a subtype of soft tissue sarcoma) often are asymptomatic, but can be associated with vague complaints of abdominal pain, a feeling of fullness, or other signs of intestinal obstruction.
Surgery is the most common form of the treatment for most sarcomas that have not spread to other parts of the body. #Limb-sparing surgery, as opposed to amputation, can now be used to save the limbs of patients in at least 90% of extremity (arm or leg) sarcoma cases. Additional treatments, including #chemotherapy and #radiationtherapy (also called "radiotherapy"), may be administered before surgery (called "neoadjuvant" chemotherapy or radiotherapy) or after surgery (called "adjuvant" chemotherapy or radiotherapy). The use of neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy significantly improves the prognosis for many sarcoma patients. Treatment can be a long and arduous process, lasting about a year for many patients.
