Like all tumor streams, the Sarcoma Service is a collaboration with clinical partners, providing coordinated and comprehensive cancer care. Care that we provide will be delivered based on best practice.
Sarcomas are cancers that affect bones or soft tissues such as muscles, nerves and other soft tissues that connect or surround joints.
- The service delivery model is based on coordinated multidisciplinary team care.
- Services will be arranged to provide ease of access and equity of care for patients, regardless of their point of entry.
- Care will be planned and delivered in partnership with patients, families and carers, as appropriate.
- Services will be arranged to ensure that critical mass is achieved as best as possible.
- Physical, psychosocial, spiritual and cultural needs will be addressed throughout the patient journey from screening, diagnosis and treatment to follow-up, survivorship and end-of-life phases of care.
- Research will be integral to clinical practice (“research-led clinical practice”), and care will be evidence-based as well as evidence generating.
- Education and training will be integral to clinical practice.
