Synovial cell sarcoma

Synovial cell sarcoma

Sarcoma is a cancer where the affected cells manifest themselves among otherwise healthy soft tissues. Synovial joint tissues are located in the cavities of joints: knees, elbows, ankles, wrists, shoulders, etc.

Robert Urich (1946-2002) Emmy award-winning actor died from this cancer after thinking that the disease had been beaten by chemical chemotherapy and surgeries.
