What is Sarcoma?
How we are helping
How we are helping
Sarcoma is a terrible but rare group of diseases that disproportionately affects our children and adolescents.
Although chemotherapy has greatly improved prognosis for patients with rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and osteosarcoma, for the majority of patients with other subtypes of sarcoma, prognosis is quite dismal, especially after metastasis is detected.
Fortunately, a small group of scientists and clinicians across the United States are dedicated to finding better treatments for patients with this disease. Thanks to persistent scientific and clinical research, the last decade introduced several new chemotherapeutic agents that can improve the outlook of patients with metastatic disease. However, there is still so much more to do.

How we are helping
Sarcoma Cancer research does not receive adequate federal or private funding. By raising awareness and providing financial support to brilliant and dedicated doctors, new research and clinical trials can be accomplished.
We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. We strive to make a difference and help to find a cure.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
We are proud to support Dr. Patrick Grohar, who is dedicated to finding the cure for Sarcoma Cancer.
Dr. Grohar’s lab at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital is primarily focused on the therapeutic targeting of the EWS-FLI1 transcription factor; the oncogenic driver of Ewing sarcoma. Through a bench-to-bedside approach, he and his team are turning lab discoveries into real treatments that can impact patients today. He has several ongoing projects in the key areas of discovery, mechanistic pharmacology, translational studies, and clinical trials – all aimed at finding ways to treat “undruggable” cancers like Ewing sarcoma.
