Clinical Negligence
July is Sarcoma Awareness Month
Sarcomas are uncommon cancers that can affect any part of the body, on the inside or outside. Only around 5,300 people are diagnosed with sarcoma in the UK each year – equating to around one percent of all cancer diagnoses - so perhaps unsurprisingly, awareness of the condition is very low, with 75% of people in the UK not sure what it is. Debra King, senior associate in our Clinical Negligence department, explains why it is just as important to raise awareness of these less common cancers as the ones we hear about every day.
