Internet soft tissue sarcoma resources

This page is a resource for UK patients diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma. It provides links to web pages around the world which offer information to patients. We have looked at the information to ensure that there is no attempt to offer a diagnostic service and in each case we have no significant concerns about accuracy. We cannot, however, guarantee absolute accuracy.

Each of these links will open in a new browser window so you may need to close each window when you have finished with it in order to keep your desktop manageable. Please if you find any of the links do not work.
