Soft Tissue Oncology

Soft tissue oncology, within the field of musculoskeletal oncology, focuses on diagnosing and treating cancers that develop in soft tissues such as muscles, fat, tendons, and connective tissues. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may arise anywhere in the body, often affecting the limbs or trunk. Experts in this field utilize advanced imaging, surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy to provide comprehensive care. The goal is to effectively manage these tumors while preserving as much healthy tissue and function as possible.
