Soft Tissue Tumors Branch

The Soft Tissue Tumors Branch, within Orthopedic Oncology, focuses on diagnosing and treating tumors that develop in soft tissues, such as muscles, fat, nerves, and blood vessels. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Specialists in this branch use advanced imaging techniques, surgical procedures, and other treatments to manage these tumors, aiming to preserve function and improve the patient's quality of life. Their work also includes research to better understand these conditions and develop new therapies for effective treatment.
