Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, slow-growing type of skin tumour that starts deep in the skin’s soft tissue. It usually appears as a firm, reddish, purplish, or brown lump that gets bigger over time. Although DFSP grows slowly, it can come back if not completely removed. The good news? It almost never spreads to other parts of the body.
Many sufferers of Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans 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 Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans. We have recently created an Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans 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.
