Sarcoma is a cancerous tumor of the supporting tissues of the body, including bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons, fat, blood vessels, and nerves that can occur in patients of any age. Learn more about sarcomas.

An integrated team of doctors at the Duke Cancer Institute focuses on the care of patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas, providing a multidisciplinary approach to treatment.

Tests and Treatments

Depending on the type, location, and stage of the sarcoma, treatment may include a combination of therapies. At the Duke Cancer Institute, we offer:

  • The latest technology to accurately diagnose the disease using advanced imaging techniques and biopsies
  • Surgery to remove the tumor while maximizing function and minimizing the chance of recurrence
  • Sophisticated radiation therapy to kill tumor cells before or after surgery
  • Chemotherapy, including the latest novel treatments to fight this rare cancer
