According to the Sarcoma Foundation of America, “sarcoma is a rare cancer in adults (1% of all adult cancers), but rather prevalent in children (about 20% of all childhood cancers). It is made up of many “subtypes” because it can arise from a variety of tissue structures (nerves, muscles, joints, bone, fat, blood vessels – collectively referred to as the body’s “connective tissues”).” There are more than 16,000 new cases diagnosed annually.  Sarcoma treatment varies depending on where it is located, and often includes a combination of systemic therapy (such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy), and local control measures (such as surgery or radiation).
