    Why Annamycin is better?

    Approximately 130000 cases of Soft tissue sarcomas are reported annually around the globe and most of them are handled through the surgical procedure. Analysis shows that 20 to 50% of these cases metastasize to the lungs and once it happens, it then becomes more difficult to treat such cases.
