Q. Which month has been designated as Sarcoma Cancer Awareness month?
Answer: July
Notes: July is observed as Sarcoma Cancer Awareness Month to highlight rare and misunderstood cancers. Sarcoma is a group of cancers starting in bones and soft tissues like fat, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, and deep skin layers. Sarcomas are divided into soft tissue sarcomas and bone sarcomas with over 70 subtypes. Sarcoma often appears as a painless lump that grows over time. Diagnosis is delayed because symptoms look like cysts or injuries. Sarcomas make up 1% of adult cancers and 15% of paediatric cancers but cause severe impacts due to poor awareness.
