What Does Cell Sarcoma Tumor In Small Intestine Suggest?

I had a clear cell sarcoma tumor removed from my small intestine 2 yrs, 8 mths ago. Recently cat scans showed 6 small masses that weren't there in last scans from 7 mths ago. Boipsy was on Mon. waiting from results, but assuming they are likely malignant as in same general area as last tumor. I think they may be in the peritoneal cavity this time. I am having a hard time finding ANY information on this type of cancer, in this location..... ie; Treatment, medication, protocol, etc. Can you share any insight?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It appears that there might be a recurrent disease in the same location as the earlier one. Treatment for this condition usually involves surgery and chemotherapy. Bowel cancers are to be treated as per their pathological correlates. There are about 8 to 10 approved medications which can be given keeping in mind earlier treatment details and the way in which the disease control was achieved. The disease condition can be known in more ways than one. It can be mesenteric clear cell sarcoma which you have right now. Treatment is by intensive chemotherapy and close observation.
