Bone & Soft Tissue Cancer

Bone & Soft Tissue Cancer

Bone cancer symptoms may include pain in the affected bone, swelling near the affected bone, broken bones and fatigue.

Soft tissue sarcoma may not have early symptoms, but may later be a lump or swelling and may cause pain if it presses on a nerve or muscle.

Where Do Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcomas Start?

  • About half of bone and soft tissue sarcomas begin in an arm or leg.
  • Around 40 percent start in the torso or belly.
  • About 10 percent start in the head or neck.
