Our Team of Experts For the best outcomes, soft tissue sarcoma requires interdisciplinary care

|
The team approach is vital in the treatment of sarcomas.
Major centers, including Memorial Sloan-Kettering, have a multidisciplinary soft tissue sarcoma team that reviews each patient's case and develops a treatment plan.
This team should include physicians with expertise in the following specialties:
- surgical oncology
- medical oncology
- radiation oncology
- diagnostic radiology
- pathology
- immunology
These doctors are joined by other specialists who ensure that nonmedical needs are met, such as rehabilitation services and psychosocial support for patients and their caregivers.
Major sarcoma treatment centers are more likely to provide the most advanced treatment options and have the most experienced medical professionals as compared with hospitals that don't offer specialized sarcoma care.
