India, June 29 -- July is observed as Sarcoma Awareness Month. Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that affects muscles, fat, nerves, and other connective tissues. About 15,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with this type of cancer every year, according to reports. The theme for this year's Sarcoma Awareness Month is "Know your normal. Act on your symptoms. Advocate for answers".
There are several approved drugs in the U.S. for treating sarcomas. Adaptimmune Therapeutics' Tecelra, approved by the FDA in August 2024, for synovial sarcoma, a type of aggressive soft tissue sarcoma, is the latest sarcoma drug to reach the market.
As we get ready to welcome July, it's also time to track the important FDA decisions lined up for the month.
