Research has indicated that liposarcoma can develop due to several factors.
Radiation: People who have been exposed to radiation therapy for other types of cancer such as lymphoma, breast cancer has increased risk of developing liposarcoma in the area treated with radiation. Genetics: Some genetic diseases may increase the risk of developing liposarcoma, like the following.
Neurofibromatosis (NF1; von Recklinghausen disease) Gardner syndrome (Familial adenomatous polyposis) Li-Fraumeni syndrome Retinoblastoma Werner syndrome Nevoid basal cell carcinoma (Gorlin syndrome)
Exposure to chemicals such as given below may increase the risk of developing liposarcoma.
Vinyl chloride Arsenic Thorium dioxide(Thorotrast)
