July is Sarcoma and Bone Cancer Awareness Month

Sarcoma is a rare cancer that can occur in various parts of the body. It grows in connective tissue such as muscles, tendons, bones, cartilage, nerves and blood vessels. With over two million new cancer cases predicted in the US in 2024, the American Cancer Society estimates 13,590 will be diagnosed as soft tissue tumors, and 3,970 will be diagnosed in bones and joints.
