About this ebook
Authoritative information and practical advice from the nation's cancer experts about the wide variety of childhood soft tissue sarcomas. Starting with the basics, and advancing to detailed patient-oriented and physician-quality information, this comprehensive compilation gives empowered patients, families, caregivers, nurses, and physicians the information they need to understand the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. In addition to disease-specific information, this ebook includes a glossary and information on the late effects of treatment for childhood cancer and pediatric supportive care. Soft tissue sarcoma may be found anywhere in the body. In children, the tumors form most often in the arms, legs, or trunk (chest and abdomen). There are many different types of soft tissue sarcomas. The soft tissue tumors are grouped based on the type of soft tissue cell where they first formed.
