Sarcoma Board
A sarcoma board plays a central role in the treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors.

As part of the Sarcoma Board, we offer an efficient and competent assessment of malignant (sarcomas) as well as benign tumors of the bones and soft tissues by qualified specialists. Taking the individual patient situation into account, the diagnosis, treatment concept and aftercare are drawn up for the patient in interdisciplinary discussions based on internationally recognized standards and guidelines
