YOGYAKARTA - Artist Alice Norin is experiencing a tough challenge in her life. The news about her suffering from uterine cancer in sarkoma shocked many parties. The process of removing the uterus is mandatory for her to deal with cancer cells that hit her body. So what are the different cancers of sarkoma and uterine cancer?
Previously, it was known that sarkoma cancer appeared in Alice Norin's uterine organs. But, what exactly is the cancer of sarkoma and how is it different from more common uterine cancer?
Launching from the official Cleveland Clinic page, sarkoma cancer is a rare type of cancer that can grow in the bones or soft tissues such as muscles, fats, blood vessels, vulnerable bones, ligaments, tendons, to nerves.
This rare cancer only covers about 1 percent of all cancer diagnostics in adults and about 15 percent of the diagnosis of cancer in children.
There are more than 70 types of sarkoma cancer that have been identified. The various treatments depend on the type of sarkoma, location, and other factors.
For John Hopkins Medicine, indications of sarkoma cancer often include significant pain in the position where cancer grows.
Some types of sarkoma may not even show indications that cancer reaches an advanced stage and suppresses the surrounding nerves, organs, or muscles.
Sarkoma cancer is one type of cancer that can develop in the uterus, but is different from uterine cancer which is more commonly known, namely endometrium cancer. Although both of them grow in the uterus, they are different diseases.
Endometrium cancer develops in the uterine array or the reproductive organs of women, on the other hand, sarkoma cancer is created in the uterine muscles, ikat tissue, or bones. Not only that, but sarkoma tends to be more aggressive than other types of uterine cancer and can develop in endometrium ikat tissue called stroma.
Sarkoma cancer is a rare type of cancer that affects the soft tissue of the body, including in the uterus. Symptoms are often not felt at an early stage, but can grow into serious problems if not overcome.
It is important to understand the symptoms and aspects of the risk of sarkoma cancer and the difference to other type of uterine cancer for a diagnosis and proper healing.

Triggers And Symptoms Of Sarkoma Cancer
The trigger for sarcoma cancer is usually unclear. Cancer grows due to changes or mutations in DNA in body cells. This mutation can cause cells to develop and divide uncontrollably, continue to live when normal cells die, and eventually form tumors.
Although the trigger is certainly not always known, there are several aspects that can increase the risk of someone suffering from sarkoma cancer, a kind of genetic aspect, previous radiation therapy for cancer, chronic infection, exposure to chemicals, and viral infection.
Symptoms of sarkoma cancer are often not felt in the early stages because of their position in the body's tissue. However, indications can arise when the cancer has reached an advanced stage. Symptoms can vary depending on the location of cancer growth.
Growing lumps, apparent weight loss, nausea and vomiting, bone pain, surgery without injuries, stomach pain, and blood pressure are some general indications that can be felt by people with sarkoma cancer.
