Whether a sarcoma can be cured depends largely on the stage of the cancer. While cure is possible, it is not always guaranteed.
According to current medical understanding, the curability of sarcoma is closely tied to its stage. Stage IV sarcomas, where the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body, are rarely curable. However, there are exceptions.
- Surgery: In certain situations, a cure is possible if the primary tumor and all areas of metastasis can be completely removed surgically. The chances of success are highest when the cancer has only spread to the lungs.
| Stage of Sarcoma | Curability | Treatment Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Stage IV | Rarely curable, but possible if all cancerous tissue can be surgically removed. Success highest with lung metastases. | Focus on controlling the disease and improving quality of life. |
In summary, while Stage IV sarcoma is rarely curable, surgical removal of all cancerous tissue offers a chance for a cure, particularly when metastasis is limited to the lungs.
