 Hello, I am Dr. Poonam Patil, a medical oncologist working in Manipal Hospital. July marks Sarcova Awareness Month. So to build awareness around various important cancers, days and months have been allocated to improve awareness of public regarding these cancers. So I just want to share my opinion and a few thoughts with you all marking this Sarcoma Awareness Month. Sarcoma is a rare but deadly form of cancer affecting connective tissues such as fat, muscle, nerves, bones, etc. It's most often found in the arms and legs where the majority of connective tissues are located but it can occur virtually anywhere. Because the disease often starts deep in the body, it may not be noticeable until a large lump or bump appears and at this point the cancer may even be difficult to treat. Sarcoma is represented by a sunflower yellow ribbon. The bright yellow colour will always find ways to lighten the dark days for Sarcoma. Though many people know about cancers in general, many people are still unfamiliar with Sarcoma. Sarcoma is an under-research cancer whose research can help to elevate cancer treatment as a whole. By bringing awareness to Sarcoma and the potential development that can bring about the potential of cure can become a reality in Sarcoma. Lack of awareness leads to slow progress through research and drug development made more challenging. More research is needed to further understand how Sarcoma's develop and spread as well as how best to diagnose it early and treat them. Surviving Sarcoma is possible if diagnosed early when treatment can be effective before the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Referral to a Sarcoma specialist is a must and a multidisciplinary management is what is advised for all Sarcoma patients. Thank you for sparing your time to listen to me and being a part of the Sarcoma Awareness Month.
