Soft tissue sarcoma is an oncological disease characterized by the formation of tumors in muscles, adipose cells, and tendons. Soft tissue sarcoma is considered a rare but very dangerous disease.
Causes
The causes of soft tissue sarcoma are believed to include heredity, poor environmental conditions, radioactive exposure, past severe illnesses, and genetic disorders. Genetic disorders typically include basal cell nevus syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, intestinal polyposis, Gardner syndrome, and Werner syndrome. Since the disease is very rare, many of its causes are not fully understood; however, this does not hinder successful diagnosis and treatment at the Ichilov Clinic.
Symptoms of Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Soft tissue sarcoma manifests as a nodular swelling with clear boundaries. The size of the sarcoma can vary from two to twenty-five centimeters. The skin may or may not change externally, although there have been cases of expanded venous networks and ulceration of the skin in the affected areas. Swelling of the limbs and pain are characteristic of sarcoma. Sarcoma often metastasizes to various tissues and organs, but it most commonly occurs in the lungs.
Diagnosis of Soft Tissue Sarcoma in Israel
In case of suspected sarcoma, the patient must undergo an urgent complete medical examination of all tissues and organs. Unfortunately, patients often seek help at late stages of soft tissue sarcoma, which significantly complicates diagnosis and treatment. The internationally recognized Ichilov Clinic has been successfully diagnosing the disease for many years. Specialist doctors in Israel will do everything possible for timely detection and diagnosis of sarcoma.
Treatment of Soft Tissue Sarcoma in Israel
Treatment of soft tissue sarcoma is prescribed by a specialist after thorough diagnosis and examination of the affected areas. Soft tissue sarcoma can be completely cured using three methods: surgical, radiation, and chemotherapy. Each method alone will not yield the expected effect, but the application of a comprehensive treatment approach will help eliminate the dangerous disease. The Ichilov Hospital is equipped with all necessary equipment for diverse and comprehensive treatment of soft tissue sarcoma. Comfortable hospitalization conditions and qualified medical personnel will undoubtedly help in choosing the clinic for sarcoma treatment.
Prevention
Currently, there are no universal preventive measures to prevent sarcoma. However, adhering to a balanced diet and avoiding harmful habits can help prevent the disease.
