From the National Cancer Institute:
sarcomatoid carcinoma https://www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-terms/def/sarcomatoid-carcinoma
"is a type of cancer that looks like a mixture of carcinoma (cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs in the body) and sarcoma (cancer of the bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue). The sarcoma-like cells are often spindle cells. Under a microscope, spindle cells look long and slender."
Biceto, sarcomatoid carcinoma may appear in different parts of the body. Do you know what type of sarcomatoid carcinoma your friend has? Lung, larynx?

RCC with 60-70 % sarcomatoid features
My husband on Dec 2 went to ER for lot of blood in urine !,we thought caused was from a kidney stone ! Because 1 year before same thing happened only it wasn’t as bad as this time /husband was sent to urologist back then who but nothing was done // fast forward to dec 2nd 2021 at ER we found out from CT there was a 7.8×5.6 tumor in left kidney which was removed and biopsied and it was then we were told Husband has stage 3 -grade 4 Renal cell carcinoma with 60-70% sarcomatoid features // my husband started Keytruda !! .. I’m hearing good reports about keytruda but everything I’ve researched on Sarcomatoid feature is poor !, I’m reading the higher the percentage the poorer the prognosis;.( I am hoping to learn more about this awful cancer !.. thank you in advance for any insight .
