Adult soft tissue sarcomas, bone sarcomas and gastrointestinal stromal tumors

Programme description

Medical Oncology 2 Unit is the medical oncology facility of the Sarcoma multidisciplinary tumor board of Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale Tumori, Milan, which serves as one of the reference centres in Italy for patients with adult soft tissue sarcomas, bone sarcomas and gastrointestinal stromal tumours. The Unit also coordinates the rare adult cancer professional network within the Italian Rare Cancer Network and the Sarcoma domain of EURACAN, the European Reference Network on rare adult solid cancers.  A full range of inpatient and out-patient services are available for the management of sarcoma patients, covering all sarcoma subtypes. All activities are strongly multidisciplinary, in partnership with the Sarcoma surgical and radiation oncology units. The Unit is actively involved in several national and international clinical trials and has ongoing translational projects especially on very rare sarcoma subtypes. As part of the observership programme, free participation in educational events on sarcomas and rare cancers will be offered.
