Sarcoma Types
Sarcomas, which are rare malignancies, originate in the supportive tissues of the body, including bone, cartilage, tendons, fat, and muscle.
There are two primary types: soft tissue sarcomas and bone sarcomas.
Treatment approaches and diagnostic procedures vary based on the specific subtype.
Explore further details and comprehensive information about each type below.
There are several types of benign bone and soft tissue tumors, each varying based on the specific site and tissue involved. These tumors, which do not metastasize, can develop in various tissues that provide structural support and connectivity throughout the body. Benign tumors can affect bones, fibrous tissues, and the soft tissues that envelop and protect vital organs, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
There are several types of soft tissue sarcoma, depending on the affected site. They can develop within any tissues responsible for supporting, connecting, enveloping, and safeguarding the body’s organs, including nerves, muscle, fat, fibrous tissues, tendons and ligaments, and blood vessels.
