These risk factors provide leads for further investigations into the genetic and environmental determinants of various forms of SoftTissueSarcomas. Cancer is a genetic disease in which many factors including diet, smoking, chemicals, sunlight, hereditary factors, and viruses are thought to cause alterations or mutations in our genes. An alteration can result in a change of the DNA material within a gene or in excessive copies of a gene. When enough mutations accumulate, the normal process inside the cell go awry, and tumors begin to grow.
The first case of Leiomyosarcoma was found in 1994, according to a Case Study by the University of Ontario. This cancer only accounts for 5%-10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Famous people like Padma L. Atluri, a writer for 90210 and Men in Trees, and Katie Price (Jordan), an English media personality, both suffered from LMS…
Learning that complementary treatments may not work for aggressive sarcomas.
With various sarcomas and a variety of mesenchymal tumors, including:

they are so deadly to treat with so little known about some of them!!!
Why don’t all the people who CAN get a cancer get it?
It’s chance. It depends upon what the radiation photon, the virus, the antibody, actually attacks. Since most of the causal agents cause DNA damage, the sum of the exposures IS additive.
Much of the damage comes from free radicals. Antioxidants help prevent free radicals. So one way that people predisposed to cancer DON’T get the cancer, is lots of antioxidants in their foods. This has been illustrated with the epidemiological investigation of green tea drinkers and cancer incidence rates.
For exposure to be significant, it is usually noticeable. The one person I know who was exposed to that wood preservative, painted her deck and practically bathed in it. People who have had radiation therapy, or significant exposure to radiation know about it, usually. Cyclosphosphamide does not grow freely under trees.
Autoimmune disease, especially thyroid, seems to predispose to malignancy. Autoimmune disease relapses can be stress related. If there is less stress, there will be fewer autoimmune active spells, and fewer antibodies, and less chance of getting p53 DNA damage. Autoimmune disease itself probably develops from a combination of genetric susceptibility and possibly a viral trigger.
About smoking– there was one study done that showed DNA repair took longer in cells of people who smoke.
In the words of a friend, it’s mostly a crapshoot. BUT it is not completely a crapshoot. There are predisposing factors, and there are things you can do to counteract those factors…
Some cases of severe immunodeficiency [AIDS, transplant patients] show Epstein-Barr virus is sometimes implicated in LMS.
Sarcomas, including LMS, are associated with autoimmune thyroid disease, and associated with other autoimmune illnesses.
In some cases the genetic predisposition may have interacted with environmental determinants to produce particular tumors.

…AS the old year became 2016. I was ask to explain what happen to Rosa Parkin. HOW could one member of our facebook goup be doing so well… only to have it all turn out so horribly wrong for her the 1st Week of September. MY first thought would be blame the chemotherapy see mixed with the natural or cannabis oil. With the second thought being maybe the travel strain and pressure she faced toward the end or the Oregon Trip from the U.K. She also took to find the quality and affordable cannabi…s oil she seeked. With mY third thought being: Leiomyosarcoma… being an aggressive type of cancer ~ maybe she should have tried the lesser toxic known cancer treatment that we are now starting to realize. That might be a better bet than this guessing game we often find us in trying to figureout the answers in the groups.
What I do know about Rosa is this: when she was DX with LMS she was given only two years to survive and in the end it was two years five days. However, when she came into our group October 2014. She had a 8cm tumor in her uterus preventing her from walking. With renewed hope and awareness…. in only a few days she was out of her bed. Learning all about newer options and meeting new friends in the cancer groups on Facebook with a positive outlook on her outcome.
Rosa tried many things and in the end was pain free and had peace within herself. Being guided to heaven with the magical oil by her side. Looking back I so realize things happen for a reason and Rosa was very fortunate meeting the people from the groups she found on Facebook and couldn’t Thank Enough… R.i.P. MY Dear Friend 😇💕💜👍😇 💕
Since that September date when I received the devastating news. I have continued on my search for the answer that would finally slay the purple dragon. Learning through a relapse and recovery of a Former Facebook Friend from Thailand that Immunotherapy helped her twice to become cancer free of the dreadful dragon. Learning when it comes to aggressive cancer one best be keeping all options open.
Within the conventional realm: Three leading sarcoma specialist treating sarcomas are Orthopaedic surgeon Dr. John Healey whom talks about the specialized care people with sarcoma — cancer of the bone or muscle — receive at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in NYC. Dr. Healey is generally regarded as one of the best in the world treating sarcoma’s!!!!
Dr. Suzanne George M.D. clinical responsibilities involve working extensively with the multidisciplinary team within the Center for Sarcoma and Bone Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I treat and provide consultation to many patients with sarcoma both from the New England area, other parts of the United States and from abroad. I am actively involved in the clinical research aspects of our program. Specifically I am working with our research team to developing and executing new clinical trials focusing on therapy for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma as well as being involved in the execution of ongoing clinical trials in our group.
Also Dr. Pasquale Benedetto is a board-certified, fellowship-trained professor at the University of Miami’s Sylvester Comprehensive cancer Center. He received his medical doctorate at the Weill Medical College of Cornell university in New York City, New York. David Octavio Gandell, a 2 time Cancer Survivor believed that God would heal him and that Dr. Pasquale W. Benedetto, M.D, was God’s instrument. Dr. B was the only Doctor that asked to take the case, no one believed their was anything that could save his life and in this special interview … Dr. Benedetto speaks about David’s Faith and Miracle as he exceeded all expectations.
UPDATE: A few nights ago I chatted with Claudia (right) about her sister Maria (Left) and a TITLE: A Phase II Trial of Concurrent Axitinib and Pembrolizumab in Subjects with Advanced Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma (ASPS) and Other Soft Tissue Sarcomas (STS) clinic trial she is having at University of Miami an Associate 0f Dr. Benedetto for Leimyosarcoma and everything is still looking quite favorable.

With just a bit of edema in her hands/feet . Maria is experiencing no major side effects with a first scan planned for October 25th. LMS is the major reason I do what I do and would like to Slay this Dragon someday. Please lets include Maria in our prayers often.
