Surgery
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment of soft tissue sarcomas. Surgery generally involves wide local excision, i.e., removing cancer and some healthy tissue surrounding it, and it is done to remove microscopic tumor deposits in the normal tissue.
In case of large tumours affecting the arms and legs, radiation and chemotherapy may be considered to shrink the tumour to avoid amputation.
