Sarcoma: About this Treatment
About Sarcoma Surgery
Surgery is a primary treatment for Sarcoma, especially in the disease’s early stages. Treatment goals for are to:
- Eliminate as much of the cancer as possible, by removing either the tumor and its margins (narrow border of surrounding tissue) or, in some cases, more extensive surgery including limb amputation.
- Remove one or more lymph nodes to check them for cancer
- Relieve symptoms of advanced cancer that has spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body
Surgery may be recommended at any stage and for any type of soft tissue sarcoma or sarcoma of the bone.
