Why Choose Johns Hopkins for Sarcoma Treatment
Our multidisciplinary clinic provides personalized treatment plans for patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas, including those who have received a treatment plan but are seeking a multidisciplinary second opinion and patients who have had surgery for a sarcoma and may need additional treatment with radiation or chemotherapy. Patients with metastatic sarcoma generally need to be seen by one of our medical oncologists to discuss chemotherapy or other systemic therapy options.
More Treatment Options
We provide all treatment options for bone and soft tissue sarcomas, including those in innovative clinical trials. Our team members, representing top physician researchers in the treatment of sarcoma, are always looking for improved methods. During the weekly team conference, all treatment options developed from the latest research findings are considered, including any being used in our clinical trials. Once a comprehensive plan is formulated, all treatment options are thoroughly discussed with the patient and can be administered at Johns Hopkins.
