Sarcoma

Sarcoma symptoms and signs include :

1- A lump that can be felt through the skin that is either painful or not

2- Bone ache

3- A fractured bone that occurs spontaneously, such as as a result of a minor or no injury.

4- Pressure in the abdomen

5- Loss of weight

In general, sarcoma cancer develops when changes (mutations) in the DNA of cells occur. Each gene in a cell contains a collection of instructions that tell the cell what functions to perform as well as how to develop and divide.

Mutations could cause cells to expand and divide uncontrollably, allowing them to live even though they would normally die. If this occurs, the abnormal cells will clump together and form a tumour. Cells can break off and spread to other parts of the body (metastasize).

Chemotherapy is the most effective treatment for sarcomas since it is the only method of preventing and controlling the cancer’s spread to the lungs, vital organs, and other areas of the body. Chemotherapy used to be very dangerous and had a lot of side effects.

Chemotherapy side effects have been greatly reduced, and in many cases are almost absent, thanks to therapies pioneered by renowned oncologists. For most patients, new therapies protect the heart and kidneys, minimise infection and the need for blood transfusions, and effectively eradicate nausea and vomiting.Chemotherapy is both an art and a science, and the best treatment combinations aggressively remove cancer, avoid recurrence, and preserve the patient’s quality of life.

Following initial chemotherapy to shrink sarcoma tumours, surgery may be an especially successful treatment choice. Amputation is now prevented in nearly 95 percent of sarcoma cases thanks to modern adjuvant chemotherapy, advanced surgical technique, and the availability of internal prostheses. Another important method for combating sarcomas in specific, localised areas is radiation.Radiation kills tumour cells by sterilising them and rendering them unable to divide and expand.
