Question

Sarcoma is the cancer of:

• A. \( \text{Plasma cells} \)
• B. \( \text{Glands} \)
• C. \( \text{Connective tissues} \)
• D. \( \text{Epithelium} \)

Hint:

Sarcomas are less common than carcinomas and are typically categorized into: 
1. Bone sarcomas: E.g., osteosarcoma. 
2. Soft tissue sarcomas: 
E.g., liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma. Early detection improves treatment outcomes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Definition of sarcoma. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that originates in connective tissues such as bones, muscles, fat, cartilage, and blood vessels. These tissues provide structural and functional support to the body. 
Step 2: Comparison with other options. - Option \( (A) \): Plasma cell cancers, such as multiple myeloma, are not sarcomas. 
- Option \( (B) \): Glandular cancers, such as adenocarcinomas, originate in epithelial tissues of glands. 
- Option \( (D) \): Epithelial cancers, called carcinomas, originate in the epithelium, not connective tissues. 
Conclusion. Sarcoma specifically refers to cancers arising from connective tissues, making \( (C) \) the correct answer.
