Surgery for sarcoma
UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center offers comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for young and adult patients with bone and soft-tissue sarcomas — cancers that affect bone, muscle, cartilage, blood vessels and other connective tissues in the body. Sarcoma treatment at UC Davis Cancer Center is aimed at preservation of critical functions, prevention of disease recurrence and optimization of quality of life.
Your team of cancer specialists will include experts in medical oncology, surgical and orthopaedic oncology, plastic surgery, and vascular surgery. Pre-operative and post-operative patient care also requires close coordination with radiation oncology, medical oncology and radiology.
Soft tissue sarcomas represent challenging malignancies for which care is best delivered at specialized, high-volume referral centers, such as UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. Patients frequently have large tumors that are technically challenging to remove with surgery, and the pre- and post-operative care for these patients requires careful coordination among multiple disciplines.
UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center delivers high quality care to patients with sarcoma from Northern California, Southern California, Western Nevada and Oregon.
