The Center for Sarcoma and Connective Tissue Oncology at Mass General specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of sarcomas, rare tumors that arise in the bone or soft tissue.
One of the largest sarcoma treatment groups in the country, the Center’s team of expert clinicians provides complex, highly specialized care to patients, both children and adults. Patients receive comprehensive, multidisciplinary care in one place at the center, including treatments that may incorporate traditional and novel chemotherapy and radiation procedures, reconstructive surgery, and follow-up care to help them live their lives as fully as possible.
“From the time patients walk through the door they are treated with warmth and kindness,” says a young patient’s parent. “These are very special people who are devoted to patients. When my seven-year-old gave a name to the skeleton on display, the staff decided to surprise her. When she came back, much to her delight, the skeleton was in her examination room, outfitted in a dress and holding a note just for her.”
