Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Soft tissue sarcomas are rare malignancies that develop in muscles, fat, blood vessels, nerves, or connective tissues.
Symptoms usually include a painless lump or swelling, which may grow rapidly. Some sarcomas are more aggressive and can spread to lungs or other organs. Treatment often involves surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy depending on subtype and stage.
Causes and Risk Factors of Soft Tissue Sarcoma
While exact causes are unknown, several factors increase risk.
- Genetic syndromes: Li-Fraumeni syndrome, familial conditions
- Radiation exposure or prior chemotherapy
- Chronic lymphedema: Can predispose to certain sarcomas
Symptoms and Clinical Features
Symptoms vary but early detection improves outcomes.
- Painless lump or swelling in muscles or soft tissues
- Rapid growth or changes in size
- Pain or functional impairment: If tumor compresses nerves or blood vessels
Treatment Options for Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Treatment depends on size, grade, and location of tumor.
- Surgical excision: Complete removal with negative margins
- Radiotherapy to reduce local recurrence
- Chemotherapy: For high-grade or metastatic sarcomas
