Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Soft tissue sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that arises from soft tissues in the body, such as muscles, fat, blood vessels, nerves, and tendons. Unlike more common cancers, which often start in organs like the breast or lung, soft tissue sarcomas can occur in almost any part of the body. Symptoms may include swelling, pain, or lumps in the affected area. Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the tumor, and may also include radiation or chemotherapy, depending on the cancer's size and stage. Early diagnosis is important for better outcomes.
