About the Sarcoma Program Team
The Importance of Multidisciplinary Care
Because
the type of treatments recommended depends upon
the nature of the sarcoma and its stage of progression,
careful review of the tissue removed during a
surgical biopsy is essential. A pathologist experienced
in diagnosing sarcomas as well as radiologists,
oncologists, and surgeons who primarily treat
sarcomas should review the biopsied tissue.
Due to the complex nature of these kinds
of cancers, complete diagnosis and treatment,
planning by a multi-disciplinary team of expert
cancer specialists is essential to determine
the best treatment options for you.
