Sarcomas, a rare group of cancers, form in the bones or soft tissues like cartilage, fat, muscle, and blood vessels. These can take many forms, but some of the most common types include liposarcoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and leiomyosarcoma Sarcomas account for a very small percentage of all adult cancers but have a significant impact on those affected. Despite their rarity, there is hope and progress in our fight against these diseases. The Oncology Institute offers sarcoma treatment within all of our clinics.
 
In 2024, approximately 13,590 cases of soft tissue sarcomas and 3,970 cases of bone and joint cancers are expected to be diagnosed in the United States. Bone cancers often appear in teenagers, while soft tissue sarcomas mostly affect those aged 55 and older. Some common bone cancers include Ewing’s Sarcoma and osteosarcoma. Risk factors for sarcomas include certain inherited disorders, past radiation therapy, exposure to specific chemicals, and long-term lymphedema.
 
Understanding these risks is crucial for early detection and treatment. We are committed to raising awareness about sarcomas and bone cancers, promoting early detection, and supporting innovative research. By spreading knowledge and resources, we can make a real difference in the lives of patients and their families. Together, we can fight these rare cancers with hope and determination!
