Articles, News and Information on Leiomyosacroma

Featured Article Diagnosis and Prognosis for Leiomyosarcoma Surgical biopsy is necessary to determine whether a soft tissue tumor is malignant or benign and to establish the prognosis for leiomyosarcoma. A biopsy generally involves making a small incision and inserting a special needle to remove a sample of the tumor tissue. When uterine leiomyosarcoma is suspected, a small piece of affected smooth muscle tissue is biopsied from inside the uterus. A pathologist (a doctor who specializes in medical diagnosis) will examine the biopsy sample under a microscope to determine the presence, type and grade of cancer. These factors combined determine the prognosis for leiomyosarcoma. Unlike many other types of cancer, the size of the tumor is not as important for the prognosis of leiomyosarcoma as is the appearance of the cancer cells under the microscope. continued			Blogs
