Sarcomas are rare and a diverse group of tumours, primarily classified into bone sarcoma or soft tissue sarcomas. Due to the complexity and rarity of sarcomas, it is essential that they are diagnosed and treated at centres with an experienced, specialized multidisciplinary sarcoma team including specialists from surgical oncology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, pathology and diagnostic imaging to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
The former Sarcoma Cancer Care Manual has been updated and is now presented as clinical care pathways. Given the distinct differences in the management and prognosis of sarcomas, two separate clinical care pathways have been developed to address each category. Please refer to the tumour-specific pages of the Overarching Clinical Care Pathways page linked below. Overarching Clinical Care Pathways
These pathways have been designed, thoroughly reviewed and approved by the provincial Sarcoma Tumour Group. They reflect the ideal, current standards of care and will undergo annual reviews to ensure ongoing relevance.
