Soft tissue sarcoma is a type of cancer affecting the body's soft tissues, like muscles and fat cells. It's a condition that can develop anywhere but is mostly found in the arms and legs. Dr Gupta Nishith Pravenchandra, Consultant, Musculoskeletal Oncology at Narayana Hospital, Howrah, brings this topic to light.

Dr Gupta explains that the symptoms of soft tissue sarcoma vary depending on its location. Commonly, a rapidly growing lump may appear on the arms or legs, which could be painful or not. This growth can be swift, sometimes reaching the size of a lemon. Pain might occur due to the lump pressing on nearby tissues. If the cancer is near vital blood vessels, it might cause numbness or swelling in the affected area. Other general symptoms include weight loss, fatigue, and pain.

It's crucial to seek medical advice if you notice any of these signs. Early consultation with a doctor can lead to better management and treatment of the condition. Dr Gupta's message is clear: awareness and timely action are key in addressing soft tissue sarcoma.
