A sarcoma is a form of cancer that can develop in various types of body tissue, from soft tissues to bones. When growing in the soft tissues, it can affect the fatty tissues, blood vessels, skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, or muscles. This cancer appears more frequently in children but can affect people of any age.
Soft tissue sarcomas may not present symptoms when in the early stages. As cancer progresses, a noticeable lump or swelling may appear, which may be painless. When the sarcoma has impacted tissues, nerves, and muscles, the lump may be painful. In bone sarcoma, the first symptom may be a pain, with or without a visible growth.
From in-depth diagnostic testing to crafting a state-of-the-art treatment plan, our sarcoma specialists apply an integrated approach that addresses not just your illness but your total well-being and quality of life. We go to great lengths to reduce your stress and overcome logistical challenges that might be complicating your treatment. Our specialists are active at industry-wide conferences and seminars to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to groundbreaking new medicines and technologies. Above all, we value human connectedness and strive to place compassion and patience as our core treatment values. We get to know each patient as a full individual rather than just another medical chart.
Sarcoma treatments at Beverly Hills Cancer Center will reflect the type of sarcoma, the area of the body affected, and the progression of cancer.
Surgery: Surgical excision of the cancerous tissue and the nearby tissues.
Radiation: Radiation therapy can be performed before or after surgery, or both.
Chemotherapy: Chemo may be administered either before or after surgery. Chemotherapy is most effective in treating bone sarcomas, so other medications may be prescribed to treat soft tissue sarcomas.
