Liposarcoma is a type of sarcoma that develops in the fat cells and is typically found in the muscles of the extremities or in the abdomen. This type of cancer is the second most common variety of sarcoma, with approximately 2,000 cases diagnosed each year.
Because they are rare, many physicians are not familiar with sarcomas or their symptoms. The Sarcoma Oncology Center is renowned for its expertise and knowledge of soft tissue sarcomas and liposarcoma management. Along with their extensive experience with sarcomas, Oncology Center physicians have led numerous clinical trials and developed advanced therapies that have benefited many patients.
