Most Common Symptoms Of Spindle Cell Sarcoma

Reduced Mobility

Reduced mobility in a part of the body may occur due to spindle cell sarcoma. Reduced mobility describes the inability of an individual to move a part of their body to the full range they should be able to move it. There are a few ways spindle cell carcinoma can cause reduced mobility. When the spindle cell sarcoma is close to any of the joints, it can grow to the point where it impedes the healthy movement of the bones and muscles controlling that particular joint. A spindle cell sarcoma can cause damage to the nerve cells responsible for transmitting impulses to specific muscles, which can cause impairment in the mobility of that muscle. A patient's spindle cell sarcoma can cause a significant amount of pain when they move in a certain way, which would also limit their ability to move the affected part of the body. The inflammatory process that ensues when cancer cells damage healthy cells can cause the affected part of the body to swell, which is also known to cause reduced mobility and loss of range of motion.

Fatigue And Malaise

Like most forms of cancer, spindle cell sarcoma can use up valuable resources in the body that would otherwise be used for healthy cells, causing fatigue and malaise. Growing cancer cells require energy, nutrients, and oxygen to grow and multiply effectively. Cancer cells in a spindle cell carcinoma require a constant supply of blood just like any other healthy cell. Nutrients are absorbed from the food an individual eats and then metabolized into molecules the cells can utilize. The cells use these molecules to produce energy, which is required along with oxygen for them to live and function. When there is a shortage of these resources, the body selectively allocates nutrients and energy to the cells that perform vital functions like breathing and moving the heart muscle instead of those that move the arms and legs. There is less energy for the individual to move around and perform routine daily tasks because the cancerous cells are taking up resources. Patients may experience fatigue and malaise because their cells are not receiving what they need.
