The second sentence makes no sense, it is not clear what sarcomas are compared with. Someone had written something more there but part of it is removed I suppose. If no one fixes it, I will delete that sentence totally.

[edit] Some areas needing expansion

I'm not very skilled at editing Wikipedia, which is why I'm posting this here instead of editing it myself! Two things: a) Phyllodes tumor, aka cystosarcoma phylloides, is also a sarcoma and not included in the list; b) some discussion of the difference between sarcomas and "cancers" would improve this article a great deal. At least in my experience, sarcomas are considered to be cancers (in that they are malignant mutations of cells) but they seem very different in structure, etc. A good explanation of this for the layman would be a helpful addition.--Injoy 00:21, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
