FAQ

Sarcoma is a rare cancer in adults (1% of all adult cancers), but rather prevalent in children (about 20% of all childhood cancers). You can find more information about possible causes, how it is diagnosed, symptoms, etc. here: http://www.curesarcoma.org/patient-resources/

Because sarcomas are rare, it is important to find physicians and multidisciplinary treatment centers that have experience with this disease. This is a list of medical centers and hospitals that specialize in sarcoma: http://www.curesarcoma.org/patient-resources/sarcoma-treatment-centers/

Our mission is to advocate for sarcoma patients by funding research and by increasing awareness about the disease. Our sister organization, the Sarcoma Alliance, offers several links on their website that may be helpful to you: http://sarcomaalliance.org/financial-assistance/.
