AB  - Sarcomas  are  a  rare  and  heterogeneous  group  of  tumors  that  arise  from  mesenchymal  tissues.  According  to  the  estimates  of  the  American  Cancer  Society,  approximately  1.6  million  people  were  estimated  to  be  diagnosed  with  cancer  in  the  United  States  in  the  year  2013,  with  only  14,420,  or  just  less  than  1%  of  cases,  representing  sarcomas  (1);  11,410  of  these  cases  represent  new  soft  tissue  sarcomas  and  3,010  represent  bone  sarcomas,  with  4,390  and  1,440  deaths,  respectively,  resulting  from  these  tumors  (1).
