Overview
Risk factors of liposarcoma includes chemical carcinogen, genetic disorders, radiation and immunodeficiency. These increases the risk of liposarcoma in general population.
Risk factors
Liposarcoma is associated with a number of risk factors. Few of them are listed below.
- Chemical carcinogens
- Phenoxyacetic herbicides
- Chlorophenols
- Dioxin contaminations
- Radiation
- Immunodeficiency
- Regional acquired immunodeficiency is sometimes associated with liposarcoma
- Genetic susceptibility
- Li-Fraumeni syndrome may predispose to liposarcoma.
