Surgery
- Surgery to remove the tumor is often difficult or impossible because the tumor is usually embedded deep within the tissue, leaving it difficult to reach.
- If a tumor presents itself in the extremities, amputation is often necessary to improve survival.
- If there is no evidence of metastasis, surgery combined with chemotherapy and radiation offer the best prognosis.
- Patients whose tumors have metastasized usually have a poor chance for long-term survival.
