“Soft tissue sarcomas form in cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, tendons, nerves, and around joints. Osteosarcomas develop in bone; liposarcomas form in fat cells. Rhabdomyosarcomas form in muscle, and Ewing sarcomas form in bone and soft tissue.

About 22% of bone and joint cancer cases are diagnosed in those under age 20, while soft tissue cancers are more often diagnosed in those 55 years or older.”
