Although relatively rare, these cancers can occur in various parts of the body, making diagnosis and treatment complex.<\/p><h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Types of Soft Tissue Sarcoma<\/b><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many types of Soft Tissue Sarcoma, categorized by the type of tissue they affect.
