Sarcoma care at NewYork-Presbyterian
Sarcoma careA sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that forms in the body’s soft tissue or bones. Sarcomas can be complex to treat and require specialized pathology and multidisciplinary treatment plans. At NewYork-Presbyterian, your care is driven by a team of oncologic specialists who are experts in sarcoma diagnosis, workup, management, and follow-up care. We use the latest diagnostic imaging and pathologic tools, such as molecular testing, to ensure a specific and accurate sarcoma diagnosis.
Our approach to care
Our approach to careAt NewYork-Presbyterian, a diverse team of sarcoma experts across surgical oncology, medical oncology, and radiation oncology disciplines meets regularly to review your case and determine the best course of treatment.
