Soft tissue sarcomas are a group of rare cancers that begin in the body’s soft tissues such as muscles, fat, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, and nerves. They can occur anywhere in the body, most commonly in the arms, legs, and trunk.
Treatment depends on the type, size, location, and stage of the sarcoma. Management may include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies. A multidisciplinary approach helps achieve better control and recovery.
Sarcomas may not cause pain in the early stage. If you notice a lump that is growing or persistent, consult a doctor for evaluation.
Diagnosis may include ultrasound, MRI/CT scan, and biopsy to confirm the type of sarcoma. Treatment planning is personalized based on reports, staging, and patient needs.
