Clear Cell Sarcoma
Clear Cell Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that primarily affects soft tissues, often found in the limbs or trunk. It typically arises from the connective tissues and is characterized by the presence of clear cells when viewed under a microscope. This cancer is more common in young adults and can be aggressive, sometimes spreading to nearby lymph nodes or other organs.
The exact cause of Clear Cell Sarcoma is not well understood, but it is associated with a specific genetic mutation involving the EWSR1 gene. Treatment usually involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy to manage the disease and improve outcomes for patients.
