Sarcomas are rare cancers that affect bone and soft tissue. Due to their rarity, a diagnosis of sarcoma can be difficult to navigate and the impact on individuals and families are far reaching. The goal of this podcast is to improve sarcoma education for patients, friends, families and trainees. Our goal is to shed light on the diagnostic workup, treatment and follow up process for patients diagnosed with sarcoma or other tumors of bone and soft tissue treated by orthopedic oncologists.

Customer Reviews
Thank you
As a 2x survivor of Cancer (Breast Cancer in 2020, and Chondrosarcoma of the femur 2022) I appreciate all of this. Both the medical and survivor stories. Most especially, I appreciate the discussions regarding the mental and emotional impacts of Cancer & treatment - and the need for even more emphasis on this part of the situation.
Synovial sarcoma
Recent synovial sarcoma diagnosed (~3 months ago): entering second round of chemo. Chemo is going better than anticipated so that’s encouraging. I’d like more info on synovial types - you focused on bone types, I see. Do you plan a podcast about this soon?
Thanks
Perfect in every way
Very informative insight from true experts. I found this podcast enlightening. Thank you for your dedication and hard work.
