Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Soft tissue sarcomas are rare cancers that develop in the connective tissues of the body, such as muscles, fat, blood vessels, nerves, and tendons. These tumors can occur anywhere in the body and require specialized care for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Early detection and expert surgical management are key to better outcomes.

  • Liposarcoma (fat tissue)

Signs & Symptoms

Symptoms may vary depending on the location but can include:

  • A painless lump or swelling that gradually increases in size
