Research

A call for research proposals was made on 20th March 2009.
In September 2009 the Trust decided to fund four projects in this first programme of work. The total investment will be approximately, £250,000 over two years.

There are two projects at the Institute of Cancer Research (part of the University of London and associated with the Royal Marsden Hospital), and one at the University of Sheffield. These projects are looking at rhabdomyosarcoma, innovative techniques in limb surgery, and the causes of sarcoma.

The fourth project is a clinical study at the Royal Marsden Hospital looking at the quality of life of patients being treated advanced sarcoma. This will inform the development of clinical practice and also gather valuable data to help with health economic analysis of new treatments.

Enquiries about our research programme can be made by email to research@sarcomatrust.org.uk.

The Sarcoma Trust is committed to peer review of research proposals by a multi-disciplinary panel.
