What Is Soft Tissue Sarcoma Surgery?
Soft tissue sarcoma surgery is the primary treatment for this rare form of cancer that develops in the body's connective tissues, such as muscle, fat, tendons, and blood vessels. At Life Surgical Oncology in La Canada, CA, Dr. Avo Artinyan provides expert surgical care for patients with soft tissue sarcoma, including those with tumors often referred to as muscle cancer. The goal of surgery is to eradicate the sarcoma with a margin of healthy tissue to prevent recurrence while preserving as much normal function as possible.
What Can I Expect from Soft Tissue Sarcoma Surgery?
Surgery for soft tissue sarcoma is customized based on the tumor's size, depth, and location. In many cases, these tumors are located in the limbs or trunk and may require careful planning to avoid damaging nerves, blood vessels, or muscles. Dr. Artinyan uses advanced surgical techniques to maximize cancer removal and preserve mobility and strength. Some patients may also need radiation or chemotherapy before or after surgery, depending on the sarcoma's aggressiveness and stage.
What Are the Benefits of Soft Tissue Sarcoma Surgery?
Surgical removal of sarcoma provides several significant benefits for long-term health and quality of life, such as:
- Complete excision of cancerous tissue with clear margins
- Reduced risk of recurrence when combined with adjunctive therapies
- Preservation of muscle and nerve function in most cases
- Improved physical outcomes through limb-sparing surgical techniques
- Decreased pain and pressure caused by growing tumors
- A personalized approach to soft tissue sarcoma treatment
When performed by a skilled surgical oncology team, surgery can offer a curative outcome, especially for localized soft tissue sarcoma.
