===Risk factors===
Common risk factors in the development of liposarcoma include [[chemical]] [[Carcinogen|carcinogens]], [[radiation]], [[immunodeficiency]], [[genetic disorders]], and [[Viral infection|viral infections]].
Liposarcoma is associated with a number of risk factors. Few of them are listed below


====Chemical carcinogens====
==Risk Factors==
*Phenoxyacetic herbicides

*Chlorophenols
*Dioxin contaminations


====Radiation====
*[[Chemical]] [[Carcinogen|carcinogens]]
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.

*[[Radiation]]
**Risk is associated with [[adjuvant therapy]] of [[radiation]] for [[breast carcinoma]].

**The [[mean]] period between exposure to [[Radiation therapy|radiation]] and [[tumor]] [[diagnosis]] is 10 years.


*[[Immunodeficiency]]
**Regional acquired [[immunodeficiency]] is sometimes associated with liposarcoma.
