Sarcoma

What is Sarcoma?

Sarcoma refers to a rare, malignant tumor that develops in the body's supporting tissues, such as bone, muscle, fat, and nerves. Soft tissues connect, support and surround other body structures. These include muscle, fat, blood vessels, nerves, tendons and bone joint linings. Sarcoma occurs when abnormal cells multiply uncontrollably, forming tumors that can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated. 

Types of Sarcoma

  • Osteosarcoma 
  • Chondrosarcoma 
  • Ewing Sarcoma
  • Liposarcoma
  • Angiosarcoma
  • Rhabdomyosarcoma

Can sarcoma be detected early?

Early detection through imaging tests, biopsies, and regular medical check-ups can improve treatment outcomes. Sarcoma does not usually appear in the early stages. With the help of diagnostic methods, sarcoma can be detected by identifying abormalities. People who have a family history of sarcoma should definitely undergo screening routinely to detect the presence of any abnormalities at an early stage.

  • Physical Examination
  • Imaging Tests
  • Biopsy
  • Genetic Testing
Is sarcoma curable?

Yes, when diagnosed early, sarcoma can be effectively treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies.

What are the advantages of limb-sparing surgery at Aster Hospitals?

It preserves limb function, reduces disability, minimizes recovery time, and improves overall quality of life.

Can sarcoma spread to other organs?

Yes, advanced sarcomas can metastasize to the lungs, liver, or other tissues, requiring more aggressive treatment strategies. The metastasis depends on the type, size and location of the tumor. The overall being of a person is also a factor of metastasis.

  • Lung metastasis
  • Liver metastasis
  • Bone metastasis

What are the primary risk factors for sarcoma?

Risk factors include genetic mutations, prior radiation therapy, exposure to certain chemicals, and inherited syndromes.

How can I reduce my risk of sarcoma?

While sarcoma cannot always be prevented, reducing exposure to radiation, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and monitoring genetic conditions can help.
