How to treat soft tissue tumors

Soft tissue tumors can be divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. The nature of the tumor varies

according to the treatment.1. Benign Tumors

For most benign soft tissue tumors, surgical resection is usually the preferred treatment. Through surgery, doctors can remove as much tumor tissue as possible while preserving the surrounding normal tissue. For smaller benign tumors, if they do not cause symptoms or affect function, doctors may choose a watch-and-wait strategy, with regular imaging tests to monitor tumor

growth.2. Malignant Tumors

For malignant soft tissue tumors (i.e. sarcomas), treatment strategies are often more complex. Surgical resection remains an important treatment option, but a wider resection may be needed to ensure as much tumor tissue as possible is removed. In addition, radiation therapy and chemotherapy are also commonly used in the treatment of malignant soft tissue tumors to kill possible residual tumor cells and reduce the risk of recurrence.

The treatment of soft tissue tumors requires a combination of factors and individualized treatment plans based on the patient's specific circumstances. Therefore, if you or your relatives are diagnosed with soft tissue tumors, it is important to consult a professional doctor or medical team for the best treatment advice.
