Being Aware of the Signs of Cancer Can be an Effective Way to Catch Cancer Before its Too Late.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sarcoma<\/a> is a relatively rare form of cancer, so it doesn’t have the same public awareness as leukemia, breast cancer<\/a> or other well-known types. Here’s what you should know about this “forgotten cancer.”<\/p>\n

What Is Sarcoma?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sarcomas can be found anywhere within the body. They fall into two general types: soft tissue sarcoma, which occurs in muscles, blood vessels and connective tissue, and bone sarcoma.<\/p>\n

Approximately 15,000 new cases of sarcoma are projected to be diagnosed in the United States during 2017. While the five-year survival rate is around 50 percent, sarcomas are known to frequently recur and metastasize<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5 Important Facts About Sarcoma<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Sarcomas account for only about one percent of adult cancer diagnoses, but they make up roughly 15 percent of cancers diagnosed in youngsters under the age of 20.<\/p>\n

\u2022 While sarcomas can be found anywhere in the body, 50 to 60 percent of soft tissue sarcomas occur in the arms and legs.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Most sarcomas arise from unknown causes. Certain genetic conditions or exposure to toxins can increase risk.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Due to its rareness and lack of symptoms in the early stages, sarcoma is difficult to detect and diagnose.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Few doctors have much experience with cancer treatment for sarcoma<\/a>, so it’s essential to follow up a diagnosis with a second opinion from a specialist.<\/p>\n
