Stage IV: What kind of sarcoma is this? Unfortunately for majority of cancer-once the cancer spread beyond the primary organ- it is an incurable disease -although still treatable. Prognosis for sarcoma - in general is usually not great especially at stage IV disease.Look for clinical trial. Chemo like gemcitabine/ taxotere, (docetaxel) adriamycin/cisplatin , dtic, trabectadine, pazopanib have been used in sarcoma.

Poor prognosis: Cardiac sarcomas in general carry a poor prognosis due to their difficult location and often inability to be removed surgically. Metastatic cardiac sarcomas carry an even poorer prognosis where survival is the exception rather than the rule. Statistics are not good as this is so rare, but survival is no better than 10-20% at 5 years.
