Sarcomas (Visit this link)
A sarcoma is a malignant tumor (neoplasm), or cancer. Certain sarcomas characteristically spread throughout the body. The word "sarcoma" has its etiology in a Greek word whose definition is "fleshy." Tumors come from the mesenchymal tissue, from which connective tissues, blood, lymphatics, bone, and cartilage come. The blood carries sarcomas throughout the body into neighboring tissue, or via the bloodstream. Frequent sites of extension of the tumors are the lung, the liver, and the brain.
