What is Soft Tissue Sarcoma?
Soft tissue sarcoma is an uncommon cancerous illness that surrounds the connective tissues of the body, including body muscles, fatty tissues, blood vessels, nerve tissue, tendons, and the lining of the body joints. Tumors tend to appear anywhere in the body and are closely linked to the arms, legs, and abdomen.
Your Guide to Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Soft tissue sarcomas may not cause symptoms in the early stages. However, as the tumor grows, patients may experience :
A painless lump or swelling in the limbs or trunk
Pain if the tumor presses on nerves or muscles
Restricted movement or function
Unexplained weight loss or fatigue (in advanced cases)
Accurate diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma involves :
Clinical examination
Imaging tests : MRI, CT scan, or PET scan
Biopsy : Core needle or excisional biopsy to confirm cancer type and grade
