Sarcoma specialists at UT Southwestern Medical Center expertly diagnose and treat people with all varieties of this complex and relatively rare type of cancer. Offering the most sophisticated technologies and proven therapies, our multidisciplinary team delivers comprehensive sarcoma care.
Recognized as leaders in treating both bone and soft-tissue sarcomas, our doctors are part of a caring sarcoma team that works with every patient to develop an individualized course of care to bring about the best possible outcomes.


Advanced, Comprehensive Care for Sarcoma Patients
Sarcomas are cancers that originate in the body’s bones and soft tissues, such as muscle, fat, nerves, tendons, blood vessels, and the tissue around joints.
Soft-tissue sarcomas can arise anywhere in the body, but they often develop on the arms, legs, chest, or abdomen. Bone sarcomas (“bone cancers”) usually develop in the legs, upper arms, and ribs.
Sarcomas are relatively rare. Each year in the U.S., fewer than 15,000 people are diagnosed with soft-tissue sarcomas, and approximately 3,000 are diagnosed with bone sarcomas.
