Some rare sarcoma cancers are diagnosed almost exclusively in children and young adults
“A wide range of tumor diseases are classified as rare cancers. For example, almost all cancers originating from bone and soft tissues, i.e., sarcomas, are classified as rare cancers. The spectrum of sarcomas is extensive, and some of them occur almost exclusively in children and young people,” says Professor Tom Böhling from the RaCaRe research group at the University of Helsinki.
