does sarcoma usually cause many symptoms?

Question

What are the most common symptoms of sarcoma?

Answer 1

Depends: It depends on the type of sarcoma, location of the lesion and stage of lesion. Sarcomas are cancers of the connective tissue, muscle and bone.

Answer 2

Varies: Sarcomas can arise in bones and soft tissues. In bones they usually cause pain and a mass (swelling). In soft tissues they present with a mass, but are rarely painful. Any soft tissue mass need to be evaluated by a doctor, even if not painful. While sarcomas are very rare, it's not safe to assume that a mass is benign just because it's painless. Rarely sarcomas of bone cause the bone to break.

Answer 3

Cancer is not: One disease, or one genetic chnge, but many. Drugs are poisons with side effects, and tumors are smart enought to learn to resist. Single genetic mutations are cured with miracle drugs. Many drugs now hope to keep cancers at bay and allow you to live with the cancer rather than obliterating it. The most fearsome of cancers is glioblastoma (brain tumors) and pancreas cancer. Few baby steps only.

Answer 4

At conception: A baby's gender is determined at the time of conception. Depending on the tests done fetal sex can be determined at various times. In normal pregnancy fetal sex can be determined by testing mother;s blood at 7 weeks. In case of in-vitro fertilization, it could be determined before the embryo is implanted.

Answer 5

Many concerns: It's hard to answer succinctly but some common concerns include both that the affordable care act didn't go far enough (for example, didn't provide universal health coverage0 and that it went too far (required everyone to obtain health coverage). There's also a lot of disagreement about how some of the changes will be paid for and whether the cost of healthcare will increase or decrease.

Answer 6

Political position: The opposition has decided that the best strategy to try and retake the White House in 2016 is to oppose anything proposed by the administration. This includes the ACA which they have termed Obamacare. Many opposed it before it was published and they could not have read it at that time This remains the current strategy for all proposals from this administration.

Answer 7
