Sarcomas are cancers that affect bones or soft tissues such as muscles, nerves and other soft tissues that connect or surround joints.

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.

  • 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.
