Sarcomas are a heterogenous group of cancers of the bone, muscle, or connective tissue.
About 15% of cancers in children and adolescents are sarcomas whereas only 1% of cancers in adults are sarcomas. Although many sarcomas can be cured with standard therapy, the relatively high incidence of the disease in younger people and the frequency of recurrence makes the development of more effective therapies a high priority.
The Sarcoma Group aims to identify new treatments for young people with sarcoma. In particular, we are developing immunotherapy approaches that can be applied during surgery in order to prevent local relapse and metastasis.
