Make A Difference Minute: Understanding Desmoid Tumors

On tomorrow’s Make a Difference Minute, UCLA oncologist and sarcoma specialist Dr. Noah Federman explains desmoid tumors, a rare condition affecting approximately 1,500 people each year in the United States.
Although desmoid tumors do not spread to distant parts of the body like many cancers, they can grow aggressively into surrounding tissues, causing pain, nerve problems, limited mobility, and sometimes life-threatening complications.
Dr. Federman explains why understanding these tumors and recognizing their potential impact is so important for patients like Sandra Miller.
