What Is Sarcoma Cancer?
Kaposi’s Sarcoma (KS) is a cancer which primarily is found on the skin and mouth but can also be found inside the body, in some of the vital internal organs and lymph nodes. It is known to appear in different parts of the body at the same time.
KS is unlike most cancers in that it has a very definite main cause. A virus called human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) will cause someone to get sarcomas, although most people who get HHV8 will never get KS.
Some of the symptoms that someone with KS can have include; skin lesions, swelling in the arms and legs, swollen lymph nodes, persistent coughing and digestive problems as well as anaemia.
