There is a wide range of growth that can be observed in sarcoma, which refers to cancer on the soft tissues and bones. Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors, and their rate of growth varies subject to various factors such as the specific subtype of sarcoma detected in an individual patient’s body, its location within that person’s tissue or organ composition. Some sarcomas grow slowly over time, others can develop rapidly. Earlier diagnosis results in better outcomes as early intervention and treatment are established. Regular medical guides, symptoms monitoring and testing are among the most important procedures for determining how much sarcomas develop or grow while helping to form an effective treatment plan designed specifically for a given patient. For a thorough check-up and cancer treatment, India has some of the best cancer hospitals that you can explore.

The growth rate is assessed based on factors such as tumor size, appearance on imaging studies, and the tumor's response to treatment.

The growth rates of sarcoma depend on factors such as the specific subtype of sarcoma, the individual patient, and other biological characteristics. Some sarcomas may exhibit slow and indolent growth, while others can be more aggressive and rapidly progressing.

Sarcoma has to be treated by surgical excision if it is in the early stage / local disease. If it is not removed surgically, it can spread to local surrounding organs or other organs.
