Sarcoma is a rare form of cancer affecting connective tissues such as fat, muscle, blood vessels, nerve, bone, deep skin and cartilage. There is no screening for sarcoma. As sarcomas grow you may feel a lump or mass. You may have pain that may be worse at night or cause swelling.

Sarcoma Awareness Month is observed in July with the following events taking place at Moffitt Cancer Center. We welcome you to join us as we spread the word about this "forgotten cancer."
