Epidemiology and Etiology
In the United States, approximately 17,000 patients were diagnosed with sarcomas in the year 2018. Risk increases with age. Predisposing factors include prior radiation, chemical and chemotherapy exposure, genetic syndromes, Paget disease of the bone, HIV/human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) infection (Kaposi sarcoma), and chronic lymphedema (lymphangiosarcoma, also known as Stewart–Treves syndrome).
