July is Sarcoma Awareness Month! 💜 Let's shine a light on this rare cancer and support those affected by it. Together, we can spread awareness, foster understanding, and advocate for research.

Sarcoma is a type of cancer that arises from connective tissues, such as bones, cartilage, fat, muscle, and blood vessels. Unlike more common cancers, which typically originate in epithelial tissues (like breast or lung), sarcomas can occur in any part of the body.
