A variety of histologic subtypes of sarcoma have a tendency to spread to the lungs. Up to 20% of people with soft tissue sarcoma and 40% of people with primary bone sarcoma can develop isolated pulmonary metastases. Most people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma receive radiation therapy and perhaps chemotherapy prior to surgery to remove the tumour. Prior to surgery, it is important to eliminate as much of the tumour as possible in order to safely remove it all or most of the time and eliminate any cancer cells that may have escaped from the original tumour.
