The Multidisciplinary Sarcoma Clinic

Providing team-based treatment and support to all patients

The Multidisciplinary Sarcoma Clinic offers a collaborative approach in treating soft tissue and bone sarcomas. The physicians who staff the Sarcoma Clinic offer a comprehensive range of expertise with specialty training in medical oncology, orthopedic oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, tumor imaging and pathology of bone and soft tissue sarcomas. They also interface with physicians in otolaryngology, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, cardiovascular surgery and urology for the optimal treatment of patients with sarcoma.

After each new patient is seen, the case is presented at the Tumor Board, which involves the collaborative effort of multiple medical specialties and allows expert opinion and recommendations based on the most recent research findings. Once your physicians know the type of sarcoma, the location of the primary tumor and if there are any metastatic tumors in the body, all the physicians who are involved in the discussion of your case can come up with a plan for treatment, which may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or a combination of some or all of these treatments.
