A member asked:
Help please! is chemotherapy effective on high grade spindle cell sarcoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it often is: Spindle cell cancers are often called sarcomas. They can arise either in the soft tissues or in the bones. Ask your doctor what is the name of your cancer? If it is a sarcoma, chemotherapy is useful in about half of the cases, often it is used in conjunction with surgery and radiotherapy.
