Sarcoma Program

One of the most important aspects of sarcoma care is making a diagnosis through appropriate pathways. Our specialists have dedicated their careers to treating patients with bone cancer and sarcomas. As the fourth largest patient care site in the nation for orthopaedic surgical oncology, we diagnose and treat over 300 patients each year. This experience translates into expert, comprehensive care for you. We discuss every sarcoma patient's case in our tumor board meetings, where experts from across Vanderbilt decide the best possible treatment for your child.

At our bone tumor clinic, patients receive integrated sarcoma therapy at a single site. Our Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Program helps teenagers and young adults get the best oncology care throughout their journey. Your child will also have access to the REACH Survivorship Clinic after treatment is completed.

We provide unique psychosocial resources to help your child manage the emotional challenges of a cancer diagnosis. These include our exclusive Behavioral Hematology Oncology Program, with licensed psychologists dedicated to working with and supporting your child's and family's mental and emotional needs.

As a leading cancer research center, we are a critical part of hospital centers worldwide with access to the newest technologies and treatments. Your participation in clinical trials is optional. But access to trials expands therapeutic possibilities for our patients and allows us to refine the best practices for treatment of difficult cases. Our clinical trials at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center provide new and experimental cancer drugs, immunotherapy and personalized medicine therapies. Search for a clinical trial.

A second opinion can help your family make the best health care decision for your child. We review medical history, diagnostic tests and any previous treatments, and we take your preferences into account to give your family an informed opinion.
