Going to have surgery to remove a soft tissue tumor within 2 months, but i just want to know, how serious is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soft tissue tumor: It depends the nature of your soft tissue tumor. If it is benign, you don't need to worry about anything. If it is a malignant one (so called sarcoma), treatment plan would be significantly different. In the latter case, please consult your oncologist for specific treatment plan.
