Women in Sarcoma

The Life Raft Group has developed the Women in Sarcoma program in recognition of the many women sarcoma specialists that engage with our organization and our patient and caregiver community to educate and advocate on behalf of those living with sarcoma. Our goal is to highlight women in the sarcoma medical profession that make a difference in patients’ lives, and to inspire the community to hear stories and perspectives of women’s role in oncology.

The September webcast featured an interactive panel of women sarcoma experts sharing their expertise as powerful advocates working on behalf of those living with sarcoma.
