PATRICK N. WELLS, deceased 7/22/2011 A leiomyosarcoma, also acknowledged as spindle cell sarcoma, is a malignant tumor of the involuntary muscle or fibrous tissue and can come about anyplace in the body. The term “spindle cell” is founded upon the extended spindle shaped appearance of the cells, along with spindle-shaped nuclei. These types of tumors, depending on the positioning, are as well termed as fibrosarcoma or malevolent fibrous histiocytoma. Most of these tumors are immobile dispersing and have a gross hapless prospect. What is the Prognosis of Spindle Cell Sarcoma? Cells of the connective tissues under the skin, in between the muscles and the surrounding organs develop small swellings and form the tumor. In stage 1, this tumor is confined to a specific site in the body. As the spindle cells turn malignant, the symptoms spread to other parts of the body. A diagnostic test called biopsy can confirm this development. A small portion of the tumor is cut and placed under powerful microscope. Presence of spindle shaped rogue cells proves the onset of this sarcoma cancer. The tumor at an early stage can be removed successfully and the prognosis is very good. However, when the disease advances to stage 2 or 3, the outlook is very grim. Remote locations and vital organs like liver, kidneys and lungs get affected in these stages. The five year survival rate of the patient reduces drastically as a consequence. Conclusion: Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are the Spindle cell sarcoma treatments available. Unfortunately, these remedies are partially effective in curbing the cancer on their application in the later stages of diagnosis.

WELLS, deceased 04/06/2011 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2006, 196,454 people in the United States were diagnosed with lung cancer, and 158,599 sufferers died. Smokers are 10 to 20 times more likely to be diagnosed with lung cancer than nonsmokers. Signs and symptoms generally do not emerge in the early stages of lung cancer, appearing only after the cancer has advanced. According to the Mayo Clinic, signs and symptoms can include: a cough that won’t go away, changes in a smoker’s cough, producing blood when coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, wheezing, hoarseness, weight loss, bone pain and headache. According to the Mayo Clinic, lung cancer is diagnosed by having the patient go through a series of tests that may include X-rays, a CT scan, lung biopsy and sputum cytology. Once a person is diagnosed with lung cancer, the tests can confirm how far the cancer has spread, which will allow the doctor to determine the stage of the cancer. Stages of nonsmall-cell lung cancer include: In Stage I, the cancer is in the underlying lung tissue but has not spread to the lymph nodes. Stage II is when the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes and possibly the chest. In Stage IIIA, the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in the center of the chest. In Stage IIIB, the cancer has spread to the heart, blood vessels, trachea and esophagus. In Stage IV, the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, treatment is based on the type of lung cancer and the stage. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation can be used to treat lung cancer. With lung cancer, patients will usually have more than one type of treatment. If the person is diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy may be offered or supportive care can be provided. Clinical trials are also suggested at this stage.
