Cancer Sarcoma is a type of cancer that arises from transformed cells of mesenchymal origin.
Here are some common types as below:
1. Initial Evaluation:
History and Physical Examination: A thorough medical history and physical examination to identify symptoms and risk factors.
Imaging Studies: X-rays, MRI, CT scans, and PET scans to visualize the tumor.
2. Biopsy:
A biopsy is performed to obtain a tissue sample for histopathological examination. This can be done through:
Needle Biopsy: Using a needle to extract a tissue sample.
Surgical Biopsy: Removing a small part of the tumor surgically.
3. Diagnosis:
Pathology Report: Analysis of the biopsy sample to confirm the type of sarcoma and its grade (aggressiveness).
4. Staging:
Determining the extent of the disease using imaging studies and possibly additional biopsies to check for metastasis (spread to other parts of the body).
5. Treatment Plan:
Surgery: The primary treatment for localized sarcoma, aiming to remove the tumor completely with clear margins.
Radiation Therapy: Used before surgery to shrink the tumor or after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells.
Chemotherapy: Often used for high-grade sarcomas, certain types like Ewing's sarcoma, or metastatic disease.
Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy: Used in specific cases based on genetic markers and the tumor's molecular profile.
6. Follow-Up:
Regular follow-up visits with imaging and physical examinations to monitor for recurrence or metastasis.
Rehabilitation and supportive care to manage side effects and improve quality of life.
