Your treatment plan will be individualised based on your cancer stage, molecular profile, performance status, and personal preferences. Tumour boards at major centres review all cases to ensure comprehensive, evidence-based care.

Treatment Cost for Sarcoma

Costs vary based on cancer stage, treatment complexity, and hospital type. Below are typical ranges for treatment components in Indian hospitals.

Costs are indicative ranges. Government schemes like Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY) cover up to ₹5 lakhs per family annually. Contact your hospital for a detailed written estimate based on your specific diagnosis and treatment plan.

Symptoms and Early Detection

Early detection of cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes. If you experience any of the following symptoms for more than two weeks, consult your doctor for evaluation.

1. Painless or painful mass or lump in soft tissue (muscle, fat, connective tissue)
2. Swelling that increases in size
3. Mass that may be warm or tender
4. Functional impairment of nearby joints or limbs
5. Systemic symptoms if metastatic (weight loss, fever)

Screening Guidelines

MRI of affected region: No routine screening; imaging for any persistent or enlarging soft tissue mass >2 cm

Many cancers are detected at earlier stages through regular screening in asymptomatic individuals at risk. Speak with your healthcare provider about recommended screening protocols based on your age, family history, and risk factors.
