What is synovial sarcoma, the cancer Natasha Allen had?
According to Mayo Clinic, synovial sarcoma is a rare cancer that typically develops near large joints, especially the knees. This type of sarcoma primarily affects young people, especially adults.
The cancer begins when cells in the affected area grow uncontrollably, potentially invading and destroying the surrounding healthy tissue. One of the first signs of this sarcoma is swelling or a lump under the skin, which may or may not be painful.
Although synovial sarcoma can form in various parts of the body, it is most commonly found in the arms and legs. This sarcoma is part of a group of cancers known as soft tissue sarcomas, which originate in the body’s connective tissues. Soft tissue sarcomas include many different types, with synovial sarcoma being one of them.
