Treatment of Stage I Soft Tissue Sarcoma

For information about the treatments listed below, see Treatment Option Overview. To learn about the cancer stages, see Stages of Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

Treatment of stage I soft tissue sarcoma may include the following:

• Surgery to remove the tumor, such as Mohs microsurgery for small sarcomas of the skin, wide local excision, or limb-sparing surgery.
• Radiation therapy before and/or after surgery.
• High-dose radiation therapy, for tumors that cannot be removed by surgery.
