Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma (SEF) is a rare and slow-growing type of cancer that develops in the body’s soft tissues — the muscles, tendons, or connective tissues that hold our body together.
The word “sclerosing” means hardening, and “epithelioid” refers to the shape of the cancer cells, which look like those found in the skin or lining tissues under a microscope. Despite its slow growth, SEF has a strong tendency to come back after treatment and can sometimes spread to other parts of the body, most commonly to the lungs or bones.
Many sufferers of Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma (SEF) struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma (SEF). We have recently created an Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma (SEF) resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
