What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Myxofibrosarcoma?
Living a full, healthy, and happy life — not just surviving — starts with knowing vital information about your disease and the available treatment options.
Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a soft tissue sarcoma that typically appears as a slow-growing, painless lump on one of the arms or legs. Similar to other soft tissue sarcomas, it begins in the connective tissue — specifically, the one that surrounds and separates muscles from each other and from the skin. A myxofibrosarcoma may form below the skin or deeper in the muscle tissue.
What are the Signs of Myxofibrosarcoma?
The cancer care team here at New Hope Unlimited specializes in a combination of conventional and alternative treatments that aim to manage the symptoms of myxofibrosarcoma.
Signs that a growth on an arm or leg may be an MFS include:
- The unusual mass is golf ball-sized or larger
- The unusual mass evolves or grows bigger over time
- The unusual mass lies deep in the muscle instead of under the skin
What Caused Your Cancer?
What causes the mutation that leads to myxofibrosarcoma is unknown. However, factors that may increase your risk of MFS include:
- Inherited disorders. Genetic syndromes that heighten your risk of soft tissue sarcomas include Li-Fraumeni syndrome, neurofibromatosis, Werner syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, familial adenomatous polyposis, and hereditary retinoblastoma.
- Chemical exposure. Excessive exposure to certain chemicals like herbicides, arsenic, and dioxin may increase your risk of soft tissue sarcomas.
- Radiation exposure. Previous radiation treatment for other malignancies can increase the risk of soft tissue sarcomas.
How Do Doctors Confirm a Cancer Diagnosis?
The initial growth may only represent part of an underlying tumor, which may have metastasized (spread) around the base of the growth and down into deeper tissue. Therefore, these tests may help assess a suspicious-looking growth and determine its extent:
- MRI scan
- Core needle biopsy
- Chest X-ray
Remember, an early and accurate diagnosis can significantly improve your myxofibrosarcoma prognosis. If your doctor diagnosed you with myxofibrosarcoma, the next critical step is to plan your treatment.

FAQs
1. Who is at Risk for Myxofibrosarcoma?
Myxofibrosarcoma is the most frequent sarcoma found in elderly patients. The disease arises mainly in people between the ages of 50 and 70, and it is slightly more common in men than in women. Nevertheless, the overall survival of patients with myxofibrosarcoma is notably better than other types of soft tissue sarcoma.
