Sarcoma Cancer Awareness Month

Although relatively rare, Sarcomas are deadly, especially soft tissue sarcomas. The primary reason for this is delayed diagnosis and advanced disease, or metastasis, at presentation.


Early-stage sarcomas lack distinct symptoms that would potentially allow for early diagnosis. In addition to being a deadly disease, sarcomas also occur more frequently in young adults and adolescents than other cancers.


Thus, despite lower incidence rates, the years of life lost can often be substantial.
