The skin is known for being the biggest organ in the body, in addition to serving as protection.

Most skin cancer cases are caused by excessive exposure to the sun and UV radiation. Among the different types of skin cancer, melanoma is the most aggressive and the main cause of mortality for these types of cancer.

Sarcomas are malignant tumors originating in the musculoskeletal system (soft tissue). These are detected by abnormal lumps or “little bulges” in any part of the body.
