Diagnosis of sarcoma depends on careful and thorough examination, and for an accurate diagnosis it is important to distinguish sarcomas from benign and as well as from other cancers.
The oncologist may consider the following before selecting the appropriate tests to diagnose sarcoma:
Initial evaluation
Diagnostic tests
Based on the above information, the oncologist may suggest the following tests to diagnose sarcoma:
Laboratory testing
Imaging studies
Biopsy techniques
Imaging and biopsy studies, in addition to confirming the diagnosis, also help in staging the cancer. Sarcoma staging helps in describing the size and extent of spread of the cancer to other parts of the body Diagnosis and staging of sarcoma helps in establishing a treatment plan for sarcoma. They also help in determining the prognosis of the disease.
Bone sarcoma staging
Specialized imaging studies are recommended for staging bone sarcoma. There are four main stages with additional substages included in the staging of bone sarcoma, and they are described below:
Soft tissue sarcoma staging
Soft tissue sarcoma in the legs and retroperitoneum is categorized into four different stages and several substages: The Following are the stages of soft tissue sarcoma:
The differential diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma is wide and ranges from benign conditions to metastatic disease. Generally, benign lesions tend to be superficial in the dermal or subcutaneous soft tissue. The differential diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma is listed below:
Benign
Malignant
Infectious
Oncologists may consider the following points before selecting an appropriate treatment plan for sarcoma:
For different types of sarcoma treatments, there are different goals. For any type of sarcoma, the primary goal is to prevent the further growth of the tumor and spread to other parts. The following are some of the goals of treating sarcoma:
Treatment of Sarcoma depends on a variety of factors such as the type of tumor, the age of the patient, whether the cancer is new or recurrent, the tumor’s location, grade and size. The treatment of sarcoma generally involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy. In individuals with primary tumors, radiation therapy is used in conjunction with surgery (either before or after) in order to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence. The following are the steps involved in treating sarcoma:
Sarcoma prognosis depends on the type of sarcoma, the stage of sarcoma, and various other factors. Sarcomas which are in early stages have a good prognosis compared to the advanced stages of sarcoma.
Factors which affect the prognosis and survival rates of sarcoma include the stage of sarcoma, the location of sarcoma, how large the tumor is, how far the tumor has spread, and also depends on the response of the tumor if undergone chemotherapy.
A relative survival rate compares individuals with the same type and stage of soft tissue sarcoma to the overall population. For an instance if the 5-year relative survival rate is 80 percent for a specific stage of soft tissue sarcoma, it means that people who have that particular stage of sarcoma are, on average, about 80 percent as likely as people who don’t have sarcoma to live for at least 5 years after being diagnosed.
The five-year survival rate in individuals diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma between 2010 and 2016 includes the following:
SEER Stage | 5-Year Relative Survival Rate |
---|---|
Localized | 81% |
Regional | 56% |
Distant | 15% |
All SEER stages combined | 65% |
SEER stands for Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results

There is no exact known cause of sarcoma but there are several known factors such as bone diseases, exposure to certain chemicals, genetic syndromes, lymphedema, and previous medical history of radiation or chemotherapy treatment which can increase the risk of developing sarcoma.
Symptoms of sarcoma includes a lump that may be either painful or painless and grows beneath the skin, pain around the tumor site, redness or swelling around the tumor site, fever, fatigue, weight loss, and paralysis.
Individuals with a family history of certain inherited disorders, who have previous history of radiation therapy, or exposed to certain chemicals such as vinyl chloride monomers, dioxin or arsenic are at higher risk of developing sarcoma.
The survival rate of sarcoma varies depending on the factors such as type of tumor and the stage at the time of diagnosis. Soft tissue sarcomas which develop in the soft tissues have a five-year survival rate of about 90 percent. The relative five-year survival rate for any type or any stage of bone sarcoma is 80 percent.
It is a type of cancer which originates in the bone or in the soft tissues of the body, including fat, cartilage, muscle, blood vessels, fibrous tissue, connective tissue or supportive tissue. A sarcoma can start in any part of the body because bone and soft tissues can be found nearly everywhere in the body.
On the outside of the body, a sarcoma may appear as a rounded mass beneath the skin, usually on an arm, leg, chest, or torso area. It can be soft or firm and may grow bigger over weeks and months after it has been discovered.
Based on where they develop, sarcomas are categorized into soft tissue sarcoma and bone sarcoma.
It is a type of sarcoma which starts in the cells that line lymph or blood vessels. This sarcoma is caused by a virus which can cause disease in individuals with a compromised immune system, such as people with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
This type of sarcoma can occur in any bone of the body and can also occur in soft tissues such as muscles or connective tissues. The pelvis, thigh, lower leg, upper arm, and chest wall are the most commonly affected areas of Ewing sarcoma.
These are benign tumors of smooth muscle which can be found anywhere in the body. They are found commonly in the walls of the uterus and are called fibroids. These are benign but they can cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain.
It is a rare type of soft tissue sarcoma which develops frequently in tissues deep within the arms, legs, and feet. It got its name “synovial cell sarcoma” because of its similarities to cells in synovial joints which are common joints such as the elbows and hips. It can also be found in the head, neck, chest, abdomen (belly), pelvis, and back. In some cases, this sarcoma develops in organs such as the lungs.
After any surgical procedure, there is always a risk of complications. Some of these complications can occur right after the surgery, and some may occur later. Infection, blood clots, and phantom limb sensations are some of the common surgical complications of sarcoma.
Chemotherapy treatment of sarcoma with anthracyclines can result in complications such as myelosuppression, mucositis (painful inflammation of the mucous membrane), alopecia (hair loss), fatigue (tiredness), nausea, vomiting, cardiotoxicity, salt-wasting nephropathy, and central nervous system toxicity.
