A rare, aggressive cancer, commonly found in the uterus, limbs and abdomen, behaves differently depending on where it is found in the body, according to new research.

Tumour location shapes survival in rare leiomyosarcoma, study of 11,700

A University of Edinburgh analysis of 11,700 leiomyosarcoma cases shows that survival and tumour biology differ markedly depending on where the cancer arises in the body.

Scots scientists find rare cancer survival rates heavily dependent on tumour location

SCOTTISH scientists have discovered that the survival rates of a rare cancer vary significantly depending on where the tumour is located in the body. Research into leiomyosarcoma found that patients with tumours in the uterus, urinary tract and trunk had the poorest outcomes. Conversely, those with the cancer in their limbs, head and neck, or […]
