Increasing prevalence of cancer or tumor is driving demand for sarcoma biopsy

 

Sarcoma Biopsy

The medical terminology for Sarcoma is "glandular" tumors and/or "metastatic". Sarcoma is a cancer of the soft tissue, which occurs in the organs such as the lungs, heart, kidney, bones, and connective tissues (such as tendons and ligaments). Sarcoma is not only limited to the soft tissues but can also affect the blood vessels. A sarcoma is an uncommon disease that is not commonly known until it reaches an advanced stage, where surgical interventions become essential. Since Sarcoma cannot be cured, it makes sense to know what type of Sarcoma one might have before considering the surgical treatment.

Since Sarcoma can affect all organs of the body, it is necessary to diagnose it accurately, to prevent unnecessary complications. A physician may consider several means to determine the type of sarcoma. Some of these include taking a tissue sample from the affected area with a needle biopsy, injecting a liquid suspension of the Sarcoma cells into the patient's tumor, or injecting a Sarcoma-containing cell culture into the affected area. These are just a few of the methods that can be used to conduct a Sarcoma biopsy.

Many doctors and scientists believe that Sarcoma is related to defective or damaged bone marrow, or a chronic infection. Biopsies performed at our center and elsewhere show that patients with osteosarcoma have a higher concentration of plasma cells, which line the blood vessels, in their breast areas. They have also been shown to have low platelet levels in the peritoneal cavity. Doctors believe that this could be caused by chronic inflammation of the osteosarcoma, which leads to the formation of fibrous plaques, or calcifications. Treating the condition effectively will prevent the development of further tumors. It is very common for Sarcoma patients to undergo a biopsy performed for a myriad of reasons. However, only twenty-one percent of those who undergo an osteosarcoma biopsy ever receive a positive result
