Where you are

Newly diagnosed

At diagnosis, two things are worth getting right early: being treated at a sarcoma specialty center, and asking whether there's a frontline trial before treatment begins. Here's a place to start — bring anything that fits to your care team.

Where to start

Find a children's cancer center near you

You look up the nearest member hospital. Most pediatric sarcoma trials only enroll through one of these centers.

Money toward a second opinion

Sarcoma Alliance

You apply for help covering the cost of an expert sarcoma consult — worth doing before locking in a plan.

Questions to bring to your care team

  1. Is the center treating us a sarcoma specialty center? For a child, is it part of the Children's Oncology Group?
  2. Would a second opinion at a sarcoma center change anything about the plan?
  3. Is there a frontline trial we should be asking about before treatment starts?

Save trials as you browse — they'll appear on your appointment prep sheet with these questions, ready to print.
