Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a type of rare lung tumour under the category of poorly differentiated Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Based on its histological characteristics, it can be classified into giant cell carcinoma (almost completely consists of giant cells), spindle cell carcinoma (almost completely consists of spindle cells), pleomorphic carcinoma (at least 10% spindle/giant cells ...

Considering that the total estimated number of new cancer diagnoses (all types of cancer) is 1,958,310, this means bone sarcomas represent only 0.2% of all new cancer diagnoses (making them the 30th most common type of cancer [26]) and soft-tissue sarcomas represent only 0.7% (making them the 22nd most common type of cancer [28]) of all new ...
