Because these tissues are found everywhere on the body, Sarcomas can arise anywhere. The most frequent location are the limbs since this is where the majority of the body’s connective tissue resides.

Sarcoma is a rare cancer in adults (1% of all adult cancers), but rather prevalent in children (about 20% of all childhood cancers). It is made up of many “subtypes” because it can arise from a variety of tissue structures.
