Sarcoma is a tumor that affects connective tissue. Soft tissue sarcomas, as the name suggests, affect the soft tissues; these include fat, muscle, blood vessels, deep skin tissues, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.

Symptoms of soft tissue sarcoma

People with soft tissue sarcomas often have no symptoms. There may be no signs until the lump grows to a large size and can be felt; however, even this may go unnoticed.

The main symptoms are:

• Pain
• Inflammation
• Location specific symptoms

Causes of sarcoma

Most often, there is no known cause of sarcoma. However, some causes have been identified:

• Kaposi’s sarcoma
• High doses of radiation
• Genetic conditions

Treatments for soft tissue sarcoma

• Surgery – the most common sarcoma treatment.
• Radiation therapy – this destroys cancer cells and may be done in addition to surgery, before or after the operation.
• Chemotherapy – this could also be used in addition to surgery, though less often than radiation therapy.
