چکیده
May/June 2001, Vol.8, No.3 Cancer Control 215 Sarcomas are malignant neoplasms arising in nonepithelial tissues of the body.

Fewer than 8,000 soft-tissue sarcomas and even fewer bone sarcomas are diagnosed annually in the United States. Sarcomas account for less than 1% of all cancers but cause 2% of cancer deaths, which emphasizes the aggressive biologic behavior and poor prognosis of this group of tumors.
