    Sarcomas, a diverse group of malignancies, pose unique challenges in the realm of oncology. Unlike more common cancers such as breast or lung cancer, sarcomas arise within different origin tissue types including bone, fat, muscle, and connective tissue and proliferate into different cell lineages, called differentiation. This differentiation of tissues contributes to the diversity of sarcomas, with over 50 recognised subtypes, each with distinct clinical, pathological, and molecular characteristics. Sarcomas can affect individuals of all ages and may arise anywhere in the body. Due to their rarity and diverse presentations, sarcomas often elude early detection and diagnosis.
