List of medical centers specializing in sarcoma

The information below is taken from the Sarcoma Alliance organization’s website. We thank them for it’s use.

The following is a list of some of the medical centers and hospitals specializing in sarcoma. While the list is not comprehensive, it includes the leaders in sarcoma research and treatment. Because sarcomas are rare, it is important to find physicians who have experience with this disease. We hope the following list makes finding a specialist easier.

This is the criteria we use for inclusion on this list:

A sarcoma medical group consisting of all specialties, including surgical, orthopedic and medical oncologists; radiologists; pathologists; and oncology nursing as well as rehabilitation services.
At least one group member who belongs to a sarcoma-oriented medical organization, such as the Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS).
Publications concerning sarcoma in peer-reviewed journals.
Sarcoma conferences (e.g. Tumor Board), where sarcoma group members meet at least once per month to discuss patient care issues.
At least 100 sarcoma patients seen per year.
MRI imaging available; PET scans desired.
Patient enrollment in clinical trials.
Strong support personnel such as social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists.
Sarcoma support group desired.
