Sarcoma Care - Mayo Clinic in Arizona

There are over 50 subtypes of sarcoma. The precise and accurate diagnosis of your subtype is essential to getting you the right treatment. At Mayo Clinic, we use state-of-the-art imaging and minimally invasive biopsies, and our pathologists are global experts at diagnosing bone and soft tissue cancers. Over 40% of diagnoses are modified when reviewed by a specialized sarcoma pathologist. That's why having an experienced sarcoma team matters. 

At Mayo Clinic, your sarcoma team takes the time to understand your unique cancer so we can help you beat it. Mayo Clinic uses specialized molecular tests to accurately identify your exact sarcoma subtype, a practice uncommon at most hospitals in the U.S.  

Diagnosing sarcoma can be challenging. Hospitals from around the U.S. send their imaging and biopsy results to Mayo Clinic for review because our pathology team has expertise in diagnosing sarcomas accurately. For people unable to make the trip to Mayo Clinic, we offer virtual second opinions with our specialists.

Our multidisciplinary team approach provides you access to the very best care plan. You meet with your team of experts through a condensed appointment itinerary, saving you time and getting you into treatment faster. Your team may include medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons specializing in sarcoma treatment and specialists in physical medicine and rehabilitation.  

Treatment is individualized for your exact sarcoma subtype and unique needs. At Mayo Clinic, you have access to the latest treatment options, including a wide range of surgeries, limb-sparing surgery when possible, radiation, proton beam therapy, chemotherapy and innovative clinical trials. Your team incorporates your priorities and works with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs. 

Your journey with Mayo Clinic continues after you return home. We collaborate and communicate with your doctors at home so you can get the best possible care on your terms. 

When you have a rare cancer like sarcoma, it’s essential to get care from specialists who understand how your cancer behaves and know what treatment plans work best and uniquely for you. Studies show people who are treated at cancer centers with extensive bone cancer experience have better outcomes. At Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center in Arizona, our expert sarcoma team provides world-class treatment and hope to people with bone cancer.  

Mayo Clinic is top-ranked in more specialties than any other hospital, according to U.S. News & World Report, and has been designated as a Chordoma Center of Excellence. Mayo Clinic is an esteemed National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center, driving the future of cancer care through groundbreaking research, clinical trial access and innovative therapies.

It can be especially challenging for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) to navigate the complexities of cancer care. At Mayo Clinic, we understand the unique needs of patients diagnosed with cancer between 15 and 39 years old, and we address those needs with our Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Program. The program goes beyond medical treatment to help all aspects of well-being including those lesser-known side effects of a cancer diagnosis such as your relationships, education, career, finances and more.
