Other Soft Tissue Sarcoma

There are many types of sarcomas,  and any single one occurs very rarely.  Treatment
varies from one patient to the next and can vary from simple surgical excision alone to
extensive surgery and aggressive chemotherapy,  with and without radiation.  In general,
staging and treatment are asimilar to rhabdomyosarcoma.  Treatment can be somewhat
less aggressive for small,  completely excised tumors.
