Sarcoma Cancer
Sarcoma Cancer
Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that arises from connective tissues, such as bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, and blood vessels. Surgical intervention is a critical component of treatment, often aimed at removing the tumor and preventing its spread to surrounding tissues.
When is Sarcoma Surgery Needed?
Surgery may be necessary for:
- Localized Tumors: Removal of sarcomas that have not spread beyond their original site.
- Staging and Diagnosis: Surgical exploration may be required to assess the extent of the disease.
- Symptom Relief: Alleviating pain or discomfort caused by the tumor.
Types of Sarcoma Surgeries
- Wide Excision:
- Removal of the tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal of cancerous cells.
- This approach helps reduce the risk of recurrence.
- Limb-Sparing Surgery:
- A technique used to remove tumors located in limbs while preserving as much surrounding tissue as possible.
- Often followed by reconstruction to restore function and appearance.
- Amputation:
- In cases where the tumor is large or has spread extensively, amputation of the affected limb may be necessary.
- This option is considered when limb-sparing surgery is not feasible.
- Reconstruction Surgery:
- Performed after tumor removal to restore function and aesthetics, particularly in limb or trunk sarcomas.
Symptoms Indicating a Need for Surgery
- A noticeable lump or mass in the affected area.
- Persistent pain that doesn’t improve or worsens over time.
- Swelling or stiffness in the affected limb or joint.
- Changes in mobility or function of the affected area.
- Unexplained weight loss or fatigue.
