Soft tissue sarcoma
Hello doctor. I'm a medical student and I want to know how common are soft tissue sarcoma in India? Are they very common or rare? I did some research and found out that in America the incidence rate is 3 in 100,000 people. What about India? It's difficult to clear doubts in online classes so I thought I'd ask the doctors here. Thank you.
