Summary
Anyone with the signs and symptoms of sarcoma needs to be seen as early as possible and referred to services that can quickly and accurately confirm the diagnosis. Doing this can save lives.
Sarcoma UK are calling on policy makers to make faster and more accurate diagnosis a reality for the sarcoma community.
They recommend that:
- A sarcoma education programme for healthcare professionals should be rolled out, placing importance on the individual impact of sarcoma and how it is important to rule it out, not rule it in.
- Awareness of sarcoma and its symptoms needs to improve. Sarcoma can occur anywhere in the body and it is vital that the public are aware of this.
- Ensure that there are clear and efficient referral pathways that allow primary healthcare professionals to access the optimum route for all their patients.
