| Abstract: | Soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) are a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors derived from primitive mesenchymal cells. These tumors arise from muscle, connective tissue, supportive tissue, and vascular tissue. As a group, they are locally highly invasive and have a high propensity for local recurrence. They usually metastasize via the bloodstream and, less commonly, via the lymphatics. The STS can be divided into two groups: 1. Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). 2. Nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft-tissue sarcomas (NRSTS). |
