Soft tissue sarcoma is a cancer that starts in the soft tissues of the body, including tissues of muscles, stomata, fats, lymph vessels, blood vessels, nerves and joints. Tumors can be found anywhere in the body but often occur in arms, legs, chest or stomach

Symptoms of soft tissue sarcoma include a lump or swelling in the soft tissue. Sometimes there are no symptoms or symptoms until the tumor is large and press around the nerves or other parts of the body.

Both children and adults can develop soft tissue sarcoma. Treatment often works better in children and can get a better chance of recovering them than adults.

On the basis of the type of soft tissue cell there are several types of soft tissue sarcoma, in which the cancer is formed. Different types of treatments can be treated separately.

The rabododioscoma is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma in children. It starts with the muscles that are attached to the bones and help in the movement of the body. Most rhabdodioscoma is diagnosed mostly in children under 10 years of age. Rhabdomyosarcomas are usually found to form lumps near the surface of the body and get early

Gastrointestinal traumatic tumors are soft tissue sarcoma which are in soft tissues of gastrointestinal tract, usually in the stomach or small intestine. They are the most common in adults, and may be benign (not cancerous) or lethal (cancerous). Gastrointestinal stormal tumors often do not cause early symptoms

Ewing Sarkoma, Kaposi Sarkoma, and uterine sarcoma are other types of soft tissue sarcoma.

Radiation therapy and some diseases and inherited conditions can increase the risk of soft tissue sarcoma.
