what are the major symptoms of ewing's sarcoma?

Question

What are the most common symptoms of sarcoma?

Answer 1

Pain and swelling: Ewing's sarcoma can arise from bones or soft tissues. In bones, ewing's presents with pain and usually a lump. In the soft tissues, there is a lump, but it is usually painless. Occasionally, patients may have fevers and chills. Not all sarcomas follow these rules, but these are the most common symptoms.

Answer 2

Usually red or black: Kaposi is full of blood so should be red to black in color.

Answer 3

Kaposi : Yes it can depending on how much blood is inside it. Also as it heals it can turn darker. As a rule the more new blood that is inside the lesions the lighter reddish pink it will be. If it goes deeper it can be more purple especially if it is larger and has nodules on it. As a rule if it is changing you should see your md to have it looked at.

Answer 4

It's not: Unfortunately, there are no known preventive measures for sarcoma.

Answer 5

Can't: Sarcomas, like all malignancies, ultimately involve mutations that dysregulates growth and multiplication of particular cells in the body. Although exposure to mutagens(e.G x-rays, chemicals) or having an inherited mutation (e.g. Li fraumeni syndrome) may markedly increase risk, random errors accumulate and no one is exempt. You can mitigate but not completely prevent sarcomas.

Answer 6

Yes: Ks can develop in patents with hiv.

Answer 7

Yes: Kaposi's sarcoma (ks) is caused by a herpesvirus. Transplant patients or other immunocopromised patients such as those with aids are more susceptible to infection. Restoration of immune competence by treatment with retroviral therapy may help control ks.

Answer 8

No: Not usually. There are no specific genetic syndromes that predispose pts to sarcoma unlike breast cancer, ovarian, colon cancer etc. Having said that, there may be some new mutations causing a saroma that may be ocassionally transmitted.

Answer 9

ACTUALLY IT CAN BE: There are some genetic abnormalities that predispose people to have sarcoma- for instance: li- fraumeni syndrome- where there is 7% risk for sarcoma; gardner syndrome/fap- related to high frequency of intraabdominal desmoid tumor, retinoblastoma is associated with osteosarcoma, rothmund-thomson syndrome (poikiloderma congenitale) is associated with osteosarcoma- etc.

Answer 10

Cance of soft tissue: It is an aggressive/high grade cancer of the soft tissues usually arising in the bones.

Answer 11

Rare cancer: It is a rare cancer which usually occurs in teenagers and young adults. It more commonly occurs in bones such as the thigh bone and pelvis, but can occur in other bones and soft tissues. The usual treatment is chemotherapy and surgical removal of tumor. Sometimes radiation is used in addition to or even instead of surgery if surgery would not remove entire tumor or would be to debilitating.

Answer 12

Rare bone tumor: Ewing's sarcoma is an unommon primary tumor of bone found in younger patients. It represents a malignant small, round, cell tumor where cancer cells are found primarily in bone or on occasion in soft tissue. .It isi now classified as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor, Most cases are the result of a translocation between chromosomes 11 and 22 Treatment includes chemo. RT and surgery
