Sarcoma (DRAFT)

Sarcoma refers to a diverse range of cancers originating in the bones and connective tissues, known as soft tissue sarcoma. These soft tissues encompass structures like muscles, fat, blood vessels, nerves, tendons, and joint linings. Despite their variety, sarcomas are uncommon, accounting for only 1% of adult cancer cases and about 15% in children.
