What is ASPS?
We are gathering information from some different websites so if I mis-understand or state something incorrectly, please correct me. Also, if you have additional information that would be helpful to our readers please e-mail admin@4Nathalie.com - Thank-you
Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma (ASPS) is a very rare and slow growing Tumor. Sarcomas themselves are rare, and make up about 1% of all cases of Cancer, while ASPS make up about 1% of sarcomas. So ASPS is the 1% of the 1%.
ASPS works by creating new blood vessels that connect the tumor to the body’s blood system which in turn allows the tumor cells into the blood stream. Once the tumor cells enter the blood stream, they can move through-out the body, and can end up in the lungs and brain, or anywhere else in the body.
ASPS typically does not respond to traditional treatments for cancer, so in many cases, chemotherapy and radiation therapy prove to be useless. There are only a few clinical trials that are now in effect, and so far are showing promising results.
