There are many types of soft tissue tumors, but not all are cancerous. In soft tissues many benign tumors are discovered. The word "benign" means that it is not cancer. These tumors can not spread to other parts of the body. Some soft tissue tumors behave in ways that are between a cancerous and a non-cancerous tumor. These are called intermediate soft tissue tumors.
