Post irradiation sarcoma has an incidence of 1%. Risk has been found with adjuvant therapy of radiation for breast carcinoma. Risk increases with dose and a dose of 50 GY or more of radiation has been recorded with increased risk of sarcoma. The mean period between exposure to radiation and tumor diagnosis is 10 years. | |||

Overview
Risk factors
Liposarcoma is associated with a number of risk factors. Few of them are listed below
Chemical carcinogens
- Phenoxyacetic herbicides
- Chlorophenols
- Dioxin contaminations
Radiation
Post irradiation sarcoma has an incidence of 1%. Risk has been found with adjuvant therapy of radiation for breast carcinoma. Risk increases with dose and a dose of 50 GY or more of radiation has been recorded with increased risk of sarcoma. The mean period between exposure to radiation and tumor diagnosis is 10 years.
