Sarcoma Diagnosis

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


  • Medical history: The oncologist inquiries about the complete medical history of the patient, including signs, risk factors, and overall health of the patient. The family history of the patient is also gathered to identify any hereditary risk. The oncologist may ask about the presenting symptoms, how and when the symptoms have developed, and how long the patient is having the symptoms


  • Physical examination: A complete physical examination of the patient is conducted to identify potential signs of sarcoma. It is conducted to identify any unusual or new lumps or bumps. Any bumps that are larger than 2 inches (5 centimeters in adults) or smaller in young children are examined to ensure they are not cancerous. 


Diagnostic tests

Based on the above information, the oncologist may suggest the following tests to diagnose sarcoma: 

  • Laboratory testing
  • Complete blood count 
  • Blood Chemistry Studies 



  • Biopsy techniques
  • Core biopsy
  • Surgical biopsy
  • Endoscopic biopsy


Laboratory testing

  • Complete blood count: In this test, the amount and quality of white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), and platelets are measured. It is performed to check the general health of the patient before conducting biopsy procedures. A blood clotting test (Prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PTT), and international normalized ratio (INR) is also performed before conducting a biopsy to check if the blood is clotting normally. 


  • Blood Chemistry Studies: This test measures the levels of certain chemicals in the blood to assess organ function, and they also show how well the organs are functioning and to detect any abnormalities if present. These tests may include electrolyte panels, liver function tests (LFTs), and kidney function tests. 


Imaging studies 

  • Ultrasound: In this procedure, sound waves and their echoes are used to produce detailed images of parts of the body. A transducer transfers sound waves and picks up the echoes when they bounce off the organs. These echoes are converted into an image on a screen by a computer. This test is conducted before a biopsy to examine if the lump is a cyst, which contains fluid and is likely benign, or if it's solid and more likely to be a tumor. 


  • X-ray: This test is often considered as the initial imaging test in diagnosing sarcoma. A plain X-ray of the area with the lump is suggested. It is used to examine the lump, and a chest x-ray may be recommended to check if the cancer has spread to the lungs. 


  • Computed tomography (CT) scan: This imaging test is performed when a soft tissue sarcoma in the chest, the abdomen, or the retroperitoneum (the back of the abdomen) is suspected. It is also used to check if the sarcoma has spread to the other parts of the body, such as the lungs, liver, or other organs.


  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): These tests are part of the work-up of any tumor which could be a sarcoma. These are better than CT scans in terms of evaluating sarcomas in the arms or legs. This imaging test provides information about the tumor, such as the location of the tumor, size of the tumor, and sometimes even the type of tissue it comes from (like bone, fat, or muscle). 


  • Bone scan: This imaging test uses radiopharmaceuticals, and a computer is used to produce images of the bones. It is often used to see if soft tissue sarcoma has spread to the bone.


  • Positron emission tomography (PET) scan: This test is performed when the oncologist suspects that the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Since it scans the whole body, it can be used instead of different X-rays. This test is performed along with CT scans and helps in deciding whether the changes seen on the CT scan are cancer or something else. 


Biopsy techniques

  • Core biopsy: In this procedure, a hollow needle is used to extract tissue samples from the body. It is the most commonly used biopsy technique in diagnosing soft tissue sarcomas. In this biopsy technique, a CT scan is used to guide the needle to the tumor. 


  • Surgical biopsy: In this procedure, a tissue from a lump or an entire lump is extracted to diagnose sarcoma. It is commonly used to diagnose soft tissue sarcoma. 


  • Endoscopic biopsy: This biopsy technique is usually performed when the lump is deep within the body. During an endoscopy, a tissue sample from the lump or the entire lump is removed for examining.

✅Sarcoma cancer stages

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: 


  • Stage IA: In this stage, the size of the tumor is small, which is about 8 cm or less, and the tumor has not spread. Tumor tissue may look close to normal or healthy tissue and is considered low grade or grade 1. 


  • Stage IB: Similar to stage IA, the tumor has not spread and appears close to normal or healthy tissues, but the size of the tumor is greater than 8 cm or there are more than one tumor. 


  • Stage IIA: In this stage, cancer has still not spread to other parts of the body, but the tumor grade is higher; it may be grade 2 or grade 3 tumors. The size of the tumor is 8 cm or smaller. 


  • Stage IIB: Similar to stage IIA, the tumor can be grade 2 or grade 3 and has not spread to other parts or nearby tissues. The size of the tumor is greater than 8 cm. 


  • Stage III: In this stage, the cancer has not spread, but the tumor may be a high-grade tumor. 


  • Stage IVA: In this stage, the tumor has spread to the lungs. 


  • Stage IVB: In this stage, cancer has spread to other parts of the body, such as lymph nodes or other bones or organs. 


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:


  • Stage IA: In this stage, the size of the tumor is small, which is 5 cm or less than 5 cm, and the cancer has not spread. Tumor tissue may look close to normal or healthy tissue and is considered as low grade or grade 1. 


  • Stage IB: In this stage, the size of the tumor is greater than 5cm, and the cancer has not spread. The tumor tissue may look fairly normal in this stage. 


  • Stage II: In this stage, cancer has not spread to other parts of the body, and the size of the tumor is 5cm or less than 5cm. The grade of the tumor is high and may look different from normal tissue or healthy tissue. They may differ from normal tissue by a significant amount (grade 2) or by a high amount (grade 3). 


  • Stage IIIA: In this stage, the tumor may be grade 2 or grade 3 and the cancer has not spread. The size of the tumor is larger, it may range between 5 cm to 10 cm. 


  • Stage IIIB: In this stage, the size of the tumor has grown beyond 10 cm, and the tumor may be either grade 2 or grade 3. The cancer has not spread. 


  • Stage IV: In this stage, cancer has spread to the nearby lymph nodes or distant organs of the body.

✅Sarcoma differential diagnosis

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 

  • Acrochordons: These are also called skin tags or fibroepithelial polyps; these are common benign neoplasms of the skin, often associated with obesity and typically develop around the neck, axilla, and groin areas. 


  • Lipoma: These are soft fatty lumps which grow under the skin; they are harmless and do not usually require treatment. They feel soft and squishy and can be anything from the size of a pea to a few centimeters across.


  • Myositis ossificans: It is a non-neoplastic, localized tumor-like lesion which affects the muscles, ligaments, and fascia. These are often a reaction to a bruise in a muscle which has been injured. During the healing of the bruise, calcium gets deposited in the bruise, causing a hard bone-like structure within the muscle.


  • Hemangioma: It is a benign tumor which occurs due to build up of extra blood vessels. They can occur throughout the body, including skin, muscle, bone, and internal organs. Most of them go through phases of growth. They are basically of three main types: superficial, deep or combined. 


  • Keloids: They result from abnormal wound healing in response to skin trauma or inflammation. Genetic and environmental factors may play a role in the development of sarcoma. 


  • Pilonidal cyst: It is a fluid-filled sac which forms in the skin near the tailbone, usually at the top of the buttocks. Infected cysts may show some signs of pain, redness, swelling in the area of cyst, pus or blood leaking from a small opening in the skin over or near the cyst. 


  • Angiofibroma: It is a benign tumor which comprises blood vessels and fibrous tissue; appears as small, red colored bumps on the face, especially on the nose and cheeks area. 


  • Neurofibromas: These are benign tumors which grow on the nerves in the body. When they grow on nerves in the skin they are termed as cutaneous neurofibroma, when they grow under the skin it is termed as subcutaneous neurofibroma or deeper in the body in the abdomen, chest and spine.


  • Rickets: It is a condition which affects the bone development in children. It causes bone pain, poor growth, and soft, weak bones which can lead to bone deformities. The most common cause of rickets is lack of vitamin D or calcium. 


Malignant 

  • Squamous cell carcinoma: It is a type of cancer which starts in squamous cells and appears as a lump, ulcer, or sore on the skin, in the mouth or may occur on the lining of the organs. 


  • Melanoma: It is a type of skin cancer which is dangerous and can spread to other parts of the body. It usually occurs when malignant cells develop in the melanocytes. An uneven color with shades of black, brown, tan, white, gray, red, pink, or blue or a change in size of the tumor are some of the common symptoms. 


  • Basal cell carcinoma: It is a type of skin cancer which starts in the basal layer of the skin. It often occurs on skin which is regularly exposed to sunlight or other ultraviolet radiation. It is almost slowly growing and may rarely spread to other parts of the body. 


  • Merkel cell carcinoma: It is a type of rare and aggressive skin cancer which occurs when Merkel cells are out of control. It starts mostly in areas of skin exposed to sunlight, especially the head and neck, as well as the arms, legs, and trunks. 


  • Skin metastasis: It refers to the growth of cancer cells in the skin which originates from internal cancer. It develops after the initial diagnosis of the primary internal malignancy, such as breast cancer and lung cancer. 


  • Keratoacanthoma: It is a non-cancerous tumor which develops slowly and is usually dome shaped. It often occurs in areas of the body which are exposed to the sun, such as the head, neck, arms, legs, and back of the hands. 


  • Cutaneous lymphoma: Also known as lymphoma cutis or lymphoma of the skin. It is a rare type of skin cancer affecting lymphocytes, which is a type of white blood cell (WBC). 


  • Nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft tissues' sarcoma: It refers to a group of cancerous tumors which arise in the body's soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, nerves, and fat, but are not classified under rhabdomyosarcoma. 


  • Kaposi sarcoma: It is a type of sarcoma which starts in the cells line lymph or blood vessels. This sarcoma is caused by a virus and can cause disease in individuals with compromised immune system, such as people with AIDS. 


  • Pediatric neuroblastoma: This is the most common solid tumor in children apart from brain tumors. It is a type of cancer which develops in the neuroblast (immature nerve tissue). Bone pain, especially in the spine, a lump in the abdomen, neck, or chest, irritability, constipation or diarrhea are some of the common signs and symptoms of pediatric neuroblastoma. 


  • Pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma: It is a disease in which the malignant cells develop in the lymph system, which is a part of the immune system of the body. The weakened immune system can increase the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in children. Signs and symptoms include breathing problems and swollen lymph nodes.


  • Pediatric osteosarcoma: It is the most common malignant tumor which affects children and young adults. Symptoms may include bone or joint pain in the tumor, swelling, lump formation at the affected area, and breaking of bones with no certain reason. 


  • Pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma: It is a malignant tumor which occurs in the muscles of the children. A mass, lump, or swelling in the neck, chest, back, arm, or legs, bulging around the eye, that can lead to crossed eyes or blurry vision. 


  • Ewings sarcoma: This type of sarcoma cancer can occur in any bone of the body, and it also occurs in soft tissues such as muscles or connective tissues. The pelvis, thigh, lower leg, upper arm, and wall of the chest are the most commonly affected areas of Ewing sarcoma. 


  • Soft tissue sarcoma: This type of sarcoma originates in soft tissues including fat, muscle, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, tendons, and cartilage of the body. They usually develop in the arms, legs, chest, or abdomen and can occur in both adults and children. 


Infectious 

  • Abscess: It is a collection of pus, which can happen in any part of the body. This occurs when an area of tissue becomes infected, and the body's immune system tries to fight against it. It is caused by bacteria, parasites, and foreign substances.


  • Cellulitis: It is a common skin infection which is caused by bacteria; it affects the middle layer of the skin and the tissues below. The most common causes of cellulitis are the bacteria Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. Symptoms may include fever, fatigue, and inflammation.

✅Considerations of oncologists before treating sarcoma

Oncologists may consider the following points before selecting an appropriate treatment plan for sarcoma: 



  • The treatment of sarcoma usually depends on factors such as the stage of sarcoma. Therefore, an oncologist may determine the stage of sarcoma first and whether the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or distant sites. 


  • The oncologist may also determine the size of the tumor and the place where it is located, as tumors in various parts of the body needs different treatment approachs due to accessibility. 


  • Knowing the overall health of the patient and the patient’s ability to tolerate treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy is also an important factor to be considered.

✅Sarcoma treatment goals

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: 


  • To slow down or prevent the growth of cancer
  • To destroy and kill the cancer cells
  • To destroy the cancer cells that have spread to other parts of the body
  • To delay and prevent the recurrence of cancer 
  • To manage the symptoms of cancer, which is not curable.

Sarcoma Treatment

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: 


  • Surgery 
  • Mohs micrographic surgery: In this procedure, the tumor is excised from the skin in thin layers. Under a microscope, the edges of the tumor and each layer of the tumor are viewed as cancer cells. The layers of the tumor continue to be removed until no more cancer cells are seen. 


  • Wide local excision: In this procedure, the tumor is removed along with some normal tissues surrounding it. For treating tumors of the head, neck, abdomen and trunk, the normal tissue is removed as little as possible. 


  • Limb-sparing surgery: In this procedure, the tumor in an arm or leg is removed without amputating the arm or leg to preserve function and appearance. To shrink the tumor, chemotherapy or radiotherapy may be given. The wide local excision method is used to remove the tumor. Through grafting techniques, the tissue or bone removed is replaced by another bone or tissue of the patient or with artificial bone. 


  • Amputation: This surgical procedure is rarely used in treating soft tissue sarcomas. In this procedure, along with tumor, the entire affected arm or leg is amputated. 


  • Lymphadenectomy: Also called as lymph node dissection; in this procedure, lymph nodes are removed, and a sample of tissue is viewed under a microscope for identifying signs of cancer. 


  • Radiation therapy 
  • External radiation therapy: Radiation therapy uses high energy X-rays or radiation or other types of radiation to destroy the cancer cells or prevent them from further growth. In external radiation therapy, a machine is used outside the body to sends radiations towards the area of cancer cells to kill cancer cells. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a type of three-dimensional (3-D) radiation therapy which uses a computer to capture images of the size and shape of the tumor. This type of external radiation therapy results in less damage to surrounding healthy tissue and is less likely to cause side effects such as dry mouth, trouble in swallowing, and damage to the skin. 


  • Internal radiation therapy: In this therapy a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters which are inserted directly into or near the cancer to treat sarcoma.


  • Chemotherapy: In this type of cancer treatment, specific drugs are used to prevent the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from further multiplication. Chemotherapy in which the drugs are given by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle is termed as systemic chemotherapy, as drugs enter directly into the bloodstream and reach cancer cells throughout the body. 


  • Targeted therapy 
  • Tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy: In this therapy, tyrosine kinase inhibitor block signals that cancer cells need to grow and divide. Some tyrosine kinase inhibitors also act as angiogenesis inhibitor. 


  • Histone methyltransferase inhibitor therapy: In this therapy, the histone methyltransferase prevents the growth of cancer cells. Targeted drug therapy uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific cancer cells.


  • Immunotherapy: This therapy uses the patient’s immune system to fight against cancer cells. Substances which are made by the body or made in the laboratory helps in boosting, directing or restoring the body's natural defenses against cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy is a type of immunotherapy in where immune system cells, such as T cells, and some cancer cells have proteins called checkpoint proteins on their surface which keep immune responses in check. These checkpoints help in keeping immune responses from being too strong and sometimes block to keep T cells from killing cancer cells. When these checkpoints are inhibited, T cells can more effectively destroy cancer cells.

✅Sarcoma prognosis

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.

Survival rates

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

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) On Sarcoma Treatment

  • What causes sarcoma?

    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.

  • What are the symptoms of 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. 

  • Who is more at risk for developing sarcoma?

    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. 

  • What is the survival rate of sarcoma cancer?

    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. 

What is sarcoma?

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.

What does a sarcoma lump look like?

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.

What are the types of sarcomas?

Based on where they develop, sarcomas are categorized into soft tissue sarcoma and bone sarcoma.


  • Soft tissue sarcoma originates in soft tissue such as fat, muscle, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, tendons, and cartilage of the body. It usually develops in the arms, legs, chest or abdomen and can occur in both adults and children. 


  • Bone sarcoma are primary bone cancer which originates within the bone tissue and develops tumor. They can develop in any part of the body, but most commonly occurs in the arms, legs, and pelvis.

What is Kaposi 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).

What is Ewing’s sarcoma?

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.

What is Leiomyomas?

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.

What is synovial sarcoma?

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.

What are the surgical complications of sarcoma?

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.

What are the chemotherapy-related 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.
