	Soft Tissue Sarcomas: Q & A - National Cancer Institute
		Soft tissue includes muscles, tendons (bands of fiber that connect muscles to bones), fibrous tissues, fat, blood vessels, nerves, and synovial tissues (tissues around joints).
		Malignant (cancerous) tumors that develop in soft tissue are called sarcomas, a term that comes from a Greek word meaning “fleshy growth.” There are many different kinds of soft tissue sarcomas.
		Secondary tumors are referred to as “metastatic soft tissue sarcoma” because they are part of the same cancer and are not a new disease.

		Soft tissue sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors arising from the supporting extraskeletal mesenchymal tissues of the body—i.e., muscle, fascia, connective tissues, fibrous tissues, and fat.
		Soft tissue sarcomas are a disease of adulthood, occurring most commonly in persons between 30 and 60 years of age.
		Approximately one-half of soft tissue sarcomas are found in the extremities; the remainder arise in the head/neck and trunk.

	Soft Tissue Sarcomas
		Soft tissue sarcomas are a diverse group of cancers that collectively comprise 15% of all "skin" and subcutaneous cancers in the dog and 7% in the cat.' The annual incidence of soft tissue sarcomas in the dog is about 35 per 100,000 dogs at risk and 17 per 100,000 cats at risk.
		In the dog, soft tissue sarcomas tend to be reported in the larger breeds.
		Soft tissue sarcomas develop from a variety of mesenchymal tissues, although they are frequently classified inappropriately as skin or subcutaneous tumors.

	Soft Tissue Calcifications
		Soft tissue calcifications pop up all of the time, and it behooves the radiologist to say something intelligent about them.
		Soft tissue calcifications are usually caused by one of the following six entities.
		Simply this: when tissue is damaged, the body responds to this injury in a nonspecific manner by invoking the generic inflammatory response reaction.

	Soft Tissue Sarcoma FAQ
		Soft tissue sarcoma is the growth of abnormal cells that form a mass (tumor) in the bodyâs soft tissues.
		It may not be felt in its early stages, because the soft tissue around the tumor is relatively elastic.
		Because of advances in diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue sarcoma, a longer and better life is possible for patients today.

		Soft tissue includes muscles, tendons, fibrous tissues, fat, blood vessels, nerves, and synovial tissues.
		Often soft tissue injuries are some of the most chronically painful and difficult to treat because it is very difficult to see what is going on under the skin with the soft connective tissues, fascia, joints, muscles and tendons.
		This area of expertise has become know as Soft Tissue Therapy and is rapidly expanding as the technology continues to improve the ability of these specialists to identify problem areas more quickly.

	Joint and Soft Tissue Injection - July 15, 2002 - American Family Physician
		Injection of joints, bursae, tendon sheaths, and soft tissues of the human body is a useful diagnostic and therapeutic skill for family physicians.
		Before injection of a joint or soft tissue, a small quantity of 1 percent lidocaine or 0.25 to 0.5 percent bupivacaine (Sensorcaine) can be injected subcutaneously with a 25- to 30-gauge needle to provide local anesthesia.
		For soft tissue injections, the following modalities may be used for short-term partial anesthesia: applying ice to the skin for five to 10 minutes; applying topical vapo-coolant spray; or firmly pinching the skin for three to four seconds at the injecting site.

	Childhood Soft Tissue Sarcoma
		Pediatric soft tissue sarcomas are a group of malignant tumors that originate from primitive mesenchymal tissue and account for 7% of all childhood tumors.
		Nonrhabdomyosarcomatous soft tissue sarcomas are more common in adults [4] than in children; therefore, much of the information regarding the treatment and natural history of children with these lesions has been on the basis of findings from adult studies.
		The prognosis for children with metastatic soft tissue sarcomas is poor, [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] and these children should receive combined treatment with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgical resection of pulmonary metastases.

	Soft Tissue Augmentation
		Soft tissue augmentation is accomplished by various implantable substances that add bulk to tissue.
		Teflon is available in many forms: as a paste most commonly used to correct defects of the vocal cords, as a thin fabric used in clothing, as sheets, strands, or tubes used in implants, or as a mesh used in hernia repair.
		Chin implants, especially, because of the thick pad of soft tissue that makes up the presenting part of the chin, are not usually detectable by self palpation or by appearance once healing has occurred.

	The Role of Soft Tissue Work
		Assessing the state of the tissues as well as applying the appropriate technique or combination of techniques is an art in itself and something which I find most enjoyable and challenging.
		Failing to recognise the need for soft tissue work is, in my opinion, inefficient on the part of the manipulative therapist, just as it is unacceptable for a massage therapist to bypass the urgency of referring a patient to a specialist.
		In trying to classify the soft tissue workers, the job is even harder, again due to a degree of overlap.
