The Clinic

The Multidisciplinary Sarcoma Clinic relies on the collaborative approach in treating soft tissue and bone sarcomas. "Sarcoma" is a term used to describe a whole family of cancers that arise in the body's connective tissues, which include fat, muscle, blood vessels, deep skin tissues, nerves, bones and cartilage.
