ANZSA's Consumer Advisory Pannel (CAP) are working with the Sarcoma Patient Advocacy Global Network (SPAGN) to promote their survey "The Importance of Early and Accurate Diagnosis of Sarcomas", This survey is for individuals diagnosed with sarcoma as well as their caregivers.

We’re delighted to announce the Sarcoma Research Grant recipients for 2024. These grants directly fund impactful research costs to improve early detection and therapy for sarcoma, supporting the best-emerging sarcoma research in Australia and New Zealand.

Congratulations to this year’s recipients:

The groundbreaking findings from an international collaborative clinical trial were unveiled today at the prestigious American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference in Chicago.

Join us this July as we raise awareness for one of Australia's rarest cancers!

This July, ANZSA are spotlighting the importance of ongoing research, funding, and clinical trials to advance patient outcomes in the fight against sarcoma.

Research fuels the discovery of treatments, funding provides the necessary resources to carry out this critical research, and clinical trials offer the platform to evaluate and refine these treatments in real-world settings.

Help raise funds for much-needed sarcoma research and stay active by registering to run for ANZSA at our 2024 fundraisers.

In 2024, there will be a change in how ANZSA members receive our newsletters throughout the year.
