Sarcomas are rare tumors with unpredictable prognosis. They are treated similarly to endometrial cancers. Little is known of epidemiologic risk factors for sarcoma; similarly, little work has been performed assessing molecular alterations in sarcomas. Because of their rarity, uterine sarcomas are not suitable for screening. Chemoprevention studies might target those at risk for recurrence or a second neoplasm.
肉瘤是一种预后不可预测的罕见肿瘤。其治疗方式与子宫内膜癌相似。目前对肉瘤的流行病学危险因素知之甚少；同样，在评估肉瘤分子改变方面也几乎没有开展相关工作。由于其罕见性，子宫肉瘤不适合进行筛查。化学预防研究可能针对有复发风险或发生第二种肿瘤风险的人群。
