What you will find on this site

This site is a resource for sarcoma patients in the UK. We offer basic information about sarcoma but we do not attempt to duplicate what is being provided well elsewhere - we provide links on the appropriate pages.

We also offer information about the structure of sarcoma treatment in the UK. Recent improvements in cancer services are taking time to reach the rarer cancers and reaching a specialist treatment centre can be crucial to a good outcome.

This website is not a medical site and cannot be used to obtain diagnostic information or advice about treatments. We offer information which is intended to help patients, carers and families understand more about the different kinds of sarcoma in ways which we hope will help them meet their particular needs.

On the disease area pages we also list sample questions you might wish to consider asking your clinician, with sections devoted to different stages of the disease. These questions are also available as downloadable files.

There are also links to information about clinical trials.

Our print newsletter is downloadable as Acrobat pdf files. Newsletters available

We have a growing range of print leaflets. They are downloadable and if you email us we will be glad to send copies by post.
