Hi my name is Todd,
I was diagnosed with Liposarcoma in the left arm at 18 years old in 1998. My local Oncologist recomended me to go see Dr. Pisters at MD anderson in Houston, TX. After speaking with the Dr. pisters he recomended that we do surgey. After the surgey the tumor the took out was the size of a baseball (about 4").
I am now 26 years old and cancer free for 8 years. I would highly recomend Dr. Pisters at MD Anderson 1-800-392-1611.
Sincerely,
Todd0 -

Dr. Alan Levine in Baltimore (first at Univ. of Maryland Medical Center and then at Sanai Hospital in Baltimore) is a specialist on sarcomas and orthopoedic oncology though I am not sure if he is still in Baltimore. The treatment I received was very aggressive but I have been cancer free for 11 years.0
