What is "soft tissue sarcoma"?

Soft tissue sarcoma is a type of cancer that begins in the soft tissues of the body, such as muscles, tendons, fat, blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues. It can develop in any part of the body, but most commonly affects the arms, legs, or torso. Soft tissue sarcoma may cause symptoms such as a painless lump or swelling, which may increase in size over time, and depending on its location, it may also cause pain or limit movement. Treatment options for soft tissue sarcoma typically include surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy, depending on the size, location, and stage of the cancer. Early detection and treatment are important for improving outcomes and reducing the risk of complications.
