If you have signs or symptoms or other reasons to suggest you might have a sarcoma, your doctor will talk with you, examine you, and probably need to order some tests to find out if you have cancer.
Imaging tests
Some tests, such as a computed tomography (CT) scan or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, are often done to look for the cause of symptoms and to find a tumor (such as a sarcoma). Other tests may be done after a sarcoma is diagnosed to look for cancer spread.
