What is Sarcoma Cancer?
Sarcomas are a rare group of cancers in which malignant cells form in the bones or soft tissues of the body. Bone and joint cancer are most frequently diagnosed among teenagers, while soft tissue cancers typically affect those 55 years and older.
There are four different types of sarcoma1:
- Soft tissue sarcomas – form in cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, tendons, nerves, and around joints
- Osteosarcomas – develop in bone
- Rhabdomyosarcomas – form in muscle
- Ewing Sarcomas – form in bone and soft tissue
Risk Factors2:
Even though the root cause of sarcomas is still not clear, there are a few known risk factors:
- Other people in your family have had sarcoma
- You have Paget’s disease
- You have a genetic disorder such as neurofibromatosis, Gardner syndrome, retinoblastoma, or Li-Fraumeni syndrome
- Exposure to radiation, perhaps during treatment for an earlier cancer diagnosis
