What are the causes of diseases like uterine sarcoma?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing irregular menstruation for half a year, with a very strong odor. Sometimes, I even bleed when I'm not supposed to have my period, and I always feel weak. After that, I went to the hospital for a check-up and underwent detailed examinations. The doctor told me that this is a uterine sarcoma.

Doctor's answer:

Chemotherapy: Many cytotoxic anticancer drugs have a certain effect on the metastasis and recurrence of uterine sarcoma. The response rate of drugs such as cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, and doxorubicin used alone or in combination with VAC (vincristine actinomycin D-cyclophosphamide) is 25-35% (related to the type of cancer cells). Some recurrent leiomyosarcomas respond effectively to progestin therapy. The combination of surgery, 60Co radiotherapy, and oral high-dose 18-methyl has also achieved good results in some cases of in young girls.
