Sarcomas are a cancers that can occur in any part of the body, and can affect both bone and soft tissue and therefore do not have chemotherapy that works for all types and therefore has a mortality of 50% within five years of diagnosis. Moreover, 15-20% of childhood cancers are sarcomas. Those who survive, either end up with a long term disability as amputees, or spend years having multiple surgeries, resulting in up to 10 years or more of having a chronic illness.
