Both of these factors may have led to the sarcoma. If your parents have a history of certain genetic syndromes, you could be at an increased risk for sarcoma. Additional risk factors for sarcoma include chemical exposure (such as herbicides, arsenic, and dioxin) and prior exposure to radiation. Genetic syndromes with potential links to sarcoma include: hereditary retinoblastoma, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis, neurofibromatosis, tuberous sclerosis and Werner syndrome. Sarcomas are difficult to diagnose, and your general practitioner may not have had much experience with them. Your doctor will likely refer you to an oncologist (a cancer specialist). This doctor, in turn, may refer you to even more specialized oncologists, including: A radiation oncologist. A medical oncologist. An oncological surgeon. The first step in diagnosing sarcoma is usually an x-ray. This is quick and painless. It involves lying still for a brief moment under an x-ray machine. The x-ray will allow doctors to have an image of the interior of your body, to gauge if and where the cancer has spread. The x-ray can be performed in the doctor's office. It's unlikely that you'll need to go to a hospital for the procedure. Additional chest x-rays may be done later to check if sarcoma has spread to the lungs.

One-sentence summary -- Tell your doctor about your genetics and exposure to chemicals/radiation. Visit medical specialists that your doctor refers you to. Ask your doctor to perform x-rays before other tests.

Q: You will need a conference room to meet with your customers and with your employees (in two different sessions). Ask 6-10 customers to meet with you for a couple of hours to discuss about your product category. It's even better if this session is managed by an outside research firm, but if you are short of time and budget you can do it yourself. Ask your customers to list the top brands they can think of in your category. They have to write down the brand they recall without help. Then they have to agree about the relative positions: who is the first brand, who is the second and so on. Ask your customers to list the features that are more relevant for them in the category. Again they have to write them down and order them from the most important to the least important. This is the key and fun part: you ask your customers or prospects to match a brand with one and only one feature. In this way you can see which brand '"owns"' which feature. This will let you see if there are important features you can own. With the info you have gathered in the session with your customers and prospects you now have a "map" to evaluate potential positioning for your brand. It's even entirely possible that you have no simple positioning strategy available and you have to think outside the box and revise your product offer You have actionable data to write the Positioning Statement that will guide all your marketing activities (see How to Write a Positioning Statement)
A: Block out 4-6 hours in two days. Meet with your customers or prospects. First question: Second question: Ask them to match Brands & Features. In the next day meet with your employees. With the result of the employee session, write a Positioning Statement.

Article: For a square of side length S, the perimeter is simply four times the side length: P=4s. Depending on the assignment, you may need to measure the side with a ruler, or look at other information on the page to determine the side length. Here are some examples of perimeter calculations: If your square has a side length of 4, then P = 4 * 4, or 16. If your square has a side length of 6, its P = 4 * 6, or 24.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Recall the formula for the perimeter of a square. Determine the length of one side, and multiply it by 4 to find the perimeter.
