About sarcoma

Sarcomas are cancers that can affect any part of the body, on the inside or outside, including the muscle, bone, tendons, blood vessels and fatty tissues.

Sarcoma is rare, with only 15 people diagnosed with sarcoma every day in the UK. That’s about 5,300 people a year.

There are around 100 different subtypes of sarcoma. The two main types of sarcoma are soft tissue sarcoma and bone sarcoma.
