Home » About SARC » Team
We are researchers and investigators at sarcoma centers working together with pharmaceutical and biotech companies to achieve breakthroughs in sarcoma – to help improve patient outcomes, and ultimately find a cure.
The SARC organization is set up as a directorship, and the organization’s overall strategy and policy is guided by members of the board. Our scientific platform is established by leaders who are recognized experts in sarcoma research. Within this organizational structure we are positioned to bring together the range of expertise needed to move the science of sarcoma forward to develop new and better treatments for patients with sarcoma.

The purpose of SARC’s Clinical Trialist Group is to generate Sarcoma clinical trial proposals, to support young investigators in developing and submitting trials concepts, and to engage clinical trialists and industry to pursue clinical trials in sarcoma.
SARC’s Discovery/Translation Committee’s mandate is to expand SARC’s commitment to discovery and translational sciences. One of the Committee’s most immediate goals is to integrate more science in each SARC clinical trial, explaining why new therapies help some people and not others – this will enable SARC refine the therapeutic approaches, helping more people and reducing needless treatment toxicity.

Facilitator for SARC Multidisciplinary Tumor Board
The SARC Research Advocacy Council (RAC) was created using the model established by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for engagement of patient advocates to become “research advocates” across four key functions: advise, design, review, and disseminate. A number of individual patient advocates have agreed to serve as research advocates on the SARC Research Advocacy Council. The council convenes regularly to explore opportunities to interface with researchers. More about RAC
