Sarcoma is a type of cancer which can affect various parts of the body. It is an umbrella term given to a wide range of cancers that begin in the bones and soft tissues.

Some of the diagnostic methods which are used to identify the type and stage of sarcoma are physical exams, imaging tests and biopsy.
