Sarcoma is a rare cancer in adults (1% of all adult cancers), but rather prevalent in children (about 20% of all childhood cancers). Learn more about possible causes, how it is diagnosed, symptoms, etc., here:

Because sarcomas are rare, it is important to find physicians and multidisciplinary treatment centers that have experience with this disease. You will find a list of medical centers and hospitals that specialize in sarcoma here:

Our mission is to advocate for sarcoma patients by funding research and by increasing awareness about the disease. Our sister organization, the
