Sarcoma Treatment & Surgery

At Millennium Physicians, we provide a comprehensive range of advanced treatment options for sarcoma, carefully tailored to each patient's unique diagnosis, tumor type, and overall health. Below are some of the most common and effective sarcoma treatment approaches:

Surgery

• Tumor Resection:
  Surgical removal of the tumor is often the first line of treatment, especially for localized sarcomas. The goal is to remove the entire tumor with clear margins to reduce the risk of recurrence.
• Limb-Sparing Surgery:
  When sarcoma affects the arms or legs, surgeons aim to remove the tumor while preserving as much normal function and tissue as possible.
• Amputation:
  In rare cases where the tumor cannot be fully removed or threatens limb function, amputation may be necessary.

Radiation Therapy
Uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells.
Often used before surgery to shrink tumors or after surgery to eliminate residual cancer cells and reduce recurrence risk.

Chemotherapy
Employs powerful drugs to kill or slow the growth of sarcoma cells.
Often used for high-grade or metastatic sarcomas, and may be combined with other treatments depending on the sarcoma subtype.

Targeted Therapy
Attacks specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth.
Used in select sarcoma types such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), where targeted drugs like tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g., imatinib) can be effective.

Immunotherapy
Stimulates the body’s immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells.
Still under investigation for sarcoma but may be used in clinical trials or specific subtypes.
