Our research
Sarcoma cancers are rare and diverse affecting a wide age range of people. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Alongside adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy depending on the sarcoma type.
The Newcastle Sarcoma Research Group conducts translational research and worldwide collaboration. The group were the first in the world to perform fluorescence guided surgery for sarcoma resection and are developing a preclinical pipeline to optimise the technology for this.
