== == Sarcoma is an aggressive type of cancer that begins in what are called the connective tissues of the body: cartilage, bone, and striated muscle. The mandible is the jaw, so sarcoma of the mandible is a cancer of the jaw. Fewer than 10,000 people a year are diagnosed with this disease in the US. It is more commonly seen in children and young adults. It is currently treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. For a moving account of one man's battle with this disease and for a website dedicated to helping those who suffer from sarcoma, please see the links given below.
