About Sarcoma

Sarcoma, a rare and diverse group of cancers, originates in the body's connective tissues, such as bones, muscles, and fat. Affecting approximately 16,500 individuals annually in the U.S., sarcoma can strike people of any age, with certain types being more common in teenagers and young adults. Although rare, sarcomas can have a profound impact on patients and their families, often presenting significant challenges due to their aggressive nature and the complexities of treatment. Despite advances in medical care, the prognosis for sarcoma varies greatly depending on the type, location, and stage of the disease, highlighting the need for continued research and support for those affected.
