"What is Sarcoma" Facts Sheet
The sarcoma facts sheet, "What is Sarcoma", is now available in 17 languages. Click on any of the lower buttons on the lower left to view it in the language identified on the button. These fact sheets have been used as handouts at cancer and sarcoma awareness events, on Team Sarcoma T-shirts, on posters, etc. in many countries worldwide. Because so few people are aware of sarcoma, many of them will ask you, "What is sarcoma?" We have used the facts sheet in numerous conversations with people to help address that question. Please feel free to use them at your own events. Please contact us if you would like to assist us in translating the Sarcoma Facts to one or more additional languages.
Our Sarcoma Ribbon — Sarcoma Knows No Borders Sarcoma is a world-wide cancer — it knows no national borders. Our "Sarcoma Ribbon" reflects this as the word "sarcoma" appears on it in many of the world's languages. Sarcoma is a cancer of the connective tissues, such as nerves, muscles, joints, bone, or blood vessels. Sarcoma can arise anywhere in the body — i.e., sarcoma knows no borders within the body. Nor does it know age borders or genders. If you click on the ribbon, it will open up and you can read it more easily. The background of the ribbon consists of the small round blue cells that identify a particular sarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma.
