In synovial sarcoma, a gene called SYT is jammed up against genes that aren’t the right fit. When this happens, your cells don’t work as they should, and your body develops a mutant gene that causes synovial sarcoma.

What are the chances of surviving sarcoma cancer?
The overall 5-year survival rate for sarcoma is 65%. About 60% of sarcomas are found as a localized sarcoma. The 5-year survival rate for people with localized sarcoma is 81%. About 18% of sarcomas are found in a locally advanced stage.
Can synovial sarcoma be prevented?
The only way to prevent some soft tissue sarcomas is to avoid exposure to risk factors whenever possible. Still, most sarcomas develop in people with no known risk factors. At this time, there's no known way to prevent this cancer.

Who is most likely to get a sarcoma?
Age. Soft tissue sarcomas can develop in people of all ages, but like most cancers, the risk increases as we get older. Around 40 in 100 soft tissue sarcomas (40%) are diagnosed in people aged 65 or older. Sarcoma can develop in children and young people.
Is synovial sarcoma cancer curable?
Synovial sarcoma can be cured if detected in the early stages. However, this cancer rarely causes any signs and symptoms during early stages. It is an aggressive type of sarcoma that may have already spread in the body by the time it is diagnosed.

Can sarcoma be cured completely?
A sarcoma is considered stage IV when it has spread to distant parts of the body. Stage IV sarcomas are rarely curable. But some patients may be cured if the main (primary) tumor and all of the areas of cancer spread (metastases) can be removed by surgery. The best success rate is when it has spread only to the lungs.

Is sarcoma a terminal of cancer?
A sarcoma is considered stage IV when it has spread to distant parts of the body. Stage IV sarcomas are rarely curable. But some patients may be cured if the main (primary) tumor and all of the areas of cancer spread (metastases) can be removed by surgery. The best success rate is when it has spread only to the lungs.
How fast does sarcoma progress?
The growth rate of soft-tissue sarcoma is highly variable, but in general it will grow noticeably over weeks to months. Any mass that grows in this time frame needs urgent medical evaluation.
