carcinoma and sarcoma are maligant tumors
mesothelioma and glioma
Sarcoma
Kaposi's sarcoma produces pink, purple, or brown tumors on the skin, mucous membranes, or internal organs
Ewing's Sarcoma is a malignant disease of the bones. While spontaneous regression of malignancies (in general) is an acknowledged although poorly understood phenomenon, the overwhelming majority (I would say all) of cancers are fatal unless treated successfully. This is because one of the hallmark traits of malignant tumors is their ability to undergo unrestrained growth even in the absence of growth-promoting factors. With successful treatment, the patient will no longer have Ewing's sarcoma (the malignant cells & tumors) in their body. However, the five-year survival rate of Ewing's sarcoma patients (after treatment) who had a localized tumor is 70% on average. For patients with a metastatic tumor (one that had spread to various other sites) the five-year survival rate is 20-30%.
Kaposis Sarcoma is caused by the human herpesvirus 8 and affects the skin. It may show up on the skin in the form of tumors or lesions.
Sarcomas are cancerous tumors that invade the body's soft tissues such as muscle, nerves and fat. Paraspinal sarcoma originates in the area on either side of the spine (paraspinal region). It can also involve the space within the vertebra known as the spinal canal (vertebrae and epidural region).

Two types of tumors are benign and malignant tumors. Benign tumors are usually harmless and grow at a slow rate. However, they can grow larger and become problematic. Malignant tumors are the opposite, growing at a fast rate and causing serious health problems.
AIDS-related KS tumors generally appear on the upper body, including the head, neck, and back
The type of treatment administered and medication are some of the factors that influence 5 years survival rate of most solid tumors.
