summary

Sarcoma is a kind of malignant tumor. If patients feel unwell, they should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately. When it comes on, it will send out some "signals". The early signal of sarcomas is usually "small pimples" on the limbs, trunk and body surface. Today, let me learn how long can soft tissue sarcoma live?.

How long can soft tissue sarcoma live?

First, about 15% of soft tissue sarcomas are retroperitoneal. It is often difficult to detect the early signs of these diseases. Only when the tumor grows to 10cm ~ 20cm in diameter in the retroperitoneum, oppresses the gastrointestinal tract, presents symptoms similar to chronic gastrointestinal diseases, or has felt a huge mass outside the body surface, can we go to the doctor. At this time, sarcoma has become a "big bomb" in the abdomen and pelvis.

Second, early detection is the key to sarcoma. He said that in addition to the "small pimples" outside the body surface, we should keep an "eye", and also called on the public to pay attention to the annual physical examination. Chen Yong said that retroperitoneal sarcomas less than 5cm in size can be "captured" by abdominal ultrasound, and timely treatment will significantly improve the survival rate of patients.

Third: when the soft tissue sarcoma is suspected, we should not "do everything". We should first go to a regular hospital for standardized examination, obtain part of the tumor tissue for pathological diagnosis, and use the "gold standard" to identify the "benign and malignant" of the tumor, distinguish different pathological types, and then "treat symptomatically" in order to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

matters needing attention

In our daily life, when we find a limb mass, many people will think that it is "all right" to go to a small clinic to do an outpatient operation and directly remove it. Chen Yong said that in fact, this kind of "resection of the mass without obtaining pathological results" is strongly opposed by doctors. Because it is very likely to leave the risk of recurrence and metastasis.
