Welcome to the Australasian Sarcoma Study Group Website

Sarcomas are a group of devastating cancers arising in the connective tissues, including fat, muscle, cartilage and bone.

In 2007, a group of clinicians with shared interests in sarcomas decided to develop an effective clinical research co-operative group to improve outcomes for sarcoma and related tumours in the Australian community, by undertaking outstanding international basic, translational, clinical and supportive care research.

The Australasian Sarcoma Study Group provides the infrastructure for collaboration between multi-disciplinary teams (MDT), which comprise specialist health professionals working together to discuss your case and how best to manage your treatment and care (for example, specialist cancer doctors and nurses and supportive care clinicians such as social workers, psychologists and physiotherapists).

This website aims to provide a resource for patients, families, carers, clinicians and health professionals who seek information about sarcoma and current research or wish to contact a specialist or to find out how to make a difference.
