Sarcoma Research Canada honours the memory of all those who have lost their lives to osteosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, and other sarcomas. We also recognize the ongoing impact on individuals and families affected by sarcoma and related cancers.
Sarcoma is a malignant tumour that develops in the bone or in soft tissue such as fat, muscles, nerves, fibrous tissue or deep skin tissues. Osteosarcoma is a form of bone cancer that is prevalent in teenagers and young adults. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone cancer that is prevalent in teenagers and young adults. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone cancer in children.
The goals of Sarcoma Research Canada are to provide support for children and young adolescents in need, particularly those affected by osteosarcoma and related cancers. Additionally, the organization is dedicated to raising awareness of osteosarcoma and related cancers across Canada, school boards and communities, ensuring that people are informed about these diseases and the importance of early detection and treatment and fostering a community of support!
Together, we can drive the next breakthrough in sarcoma treatment and ensure progress continues—because without action, progress is impossible.
