The Sarcoma Site Group at Princess Margaret is housed in a state-of-the-art facility that has the capacity to provide timely medical, radiation and surgical oncology care to people with bone and soft-tissue sarcomas.
We were one of the first groups in Canada to use intensity-modulated radiotherapy, a highly conformal radiotherapy approach, and have since coupled this technology with daily online 3-D image guidance to achieve targeted treatment to a localized area with precision and accuracy, while avoiding surrounding healthy tissue.
As part of the Distress Assessment Response Tool, our patients were screened periodically to assess pain, anxiety, depression and other psychosocial stressors. Our medical, psychosocial and allied health staff then worked towards identifying underlying issues and providing treatment and support to address them.
