Skeletal Muscle Sarcoma
Expert Care by Dr. Divyesh Pathak
Skeletal muscle sarcoma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer that originates in the muscles connected to the skeleton. This type of cancer can affect any muscle in the body and often requires specialized treatment. At Adwaita Cancer Hospital, ICU & Research Center, Dr. Divyesh Pathak and his team provide advanced care for patients with skeletal muscle sarcoma, focusing on early diagnosis and personalized treatment plans to improve outcomes.
Types of Skeletal Muscle Sarcoma:
There are several types of sarcomas that affect skeletal muscles, including:
- Rhabdomyosarcoma:
- The most common type of muscle sarcoma, often found in children and young adults. It typically occurs in areas such as the arms, legs, and trunk.
- Leiomyosarcoma:
- A rare type of sarcoma that arises from smooth muscle tissue but can affect skeletal muscle tissue as well.
- Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma:
- A type of cancer that does not fit into a specific sarcoma category but can occur in skeletal muscle.
Signs & Symptoms of Skeletal Muscle Sarcoma:
- A growing lump or swelling in a muscle
- Persistent pain in the affected area
- Restricted movement or difficulty using the affected muscle
- Fatigue and unexplained weight loss
Treatment options : Limb salvage surgery, amputation
Limb Salvage Surgery is a surgical approach designed to treat cancers in the limbs by removing the tumor while preserving the limb’s function and appearance. This procedure involves a combination of tumor resection, reconstruction, and rehabilitation techniques to maintain as much mobility and function as possible. It is an alternative to amputation for patients with bone or soft tissue cancers, aiming to improve quality of life and allow for better prosthetic or functional outcomes. Benefits of Limb salvage surgery
- Preserves limb function and appearance.
- Reduces the need for extensive prosthetics
- Rehabilitation compared to amputation.
- Complete or partial removal of the limb affected by cancer or severe injury
- Involves prosthetic fitting, physical therapy, and psychological support
- Often performed for advanced cancer, severe trauma, or when other treatments fail.
- Can be life-saving when cancer or disease is severe
- Allows for focused treatment of cancer
- Reduces the risk of disease spread
Diagnosis of Skeletal Muscle Sarcoma:
Accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment. At Adwaita Cancer Hospital, ICU & Research Center, we use advanced diagnostic techniques, including:
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Detailed imaging to assess the size, location, and extent of the tumor.
- CT Scan: Used to check for cancer spread to other areas, especially the lungs.
- Biopsy: Tissue samples are taken and examined to confirm the type of sarcoma.
- PET Scan: Helps to detect metastasis and the activity of the tumor.
