Question
Grandpa has a lump the size of an egg on the back of his neck. It doesn’t hurt, doesn’t affect his daily life, and there’s no obvious difference in color from normal skin. But recently, he’s noticed it’s getting bigger, so he went to see a doctor. The doctor said it’s sarcoma. What is sarcoma?
Answer
Sarcoma is a type of tumor, which can be classified into benign and malignant. Benign tumors can be treated with surgery, while malignant tumors are cancers, and there is currently no complete cure. Tumors refer to new growths formed by the proliferation of local tissue cells under the action of various tumor factors. It is recommended to undergo further examination and have surgery as soon as possible to prevent the tumor from worsening or spreading.
