Sarcoma Care

Sarcoma is a family of cancers that form in the soft tissues and in bone.

These diseases are rare. Doctors diagnose only about 12,000 people with sarcoma each year in the United States.

No sarcoma is the same and a diagnosis affects each person differently. Developing an effective treatment plan requires input from a variety of specialists.
