This National AYA Cancer Awareness Week, we’re highlighting adolescents and young adults facing sarcoma, who face unique challenges such as delayed diagnoses and limited treatment options. We’re committed to raising awareness, supporting AYAs, and advancing research to improve outcomes for everyone.
We want to hear from you! If you’re an adolescent or young adult (ages 15–39) who has been diagnosed with sarcoma, share your experience in our short survey. Your insights will help guide SFA’s AYA committee and shape programs that support this community.

Sarcoma Foundation of America's Clinical Trial Matching Service makes it easier by offering free, confidential access to up-to-date sarcoma clinical trials across the U.S. and Canada, matched to your specific diagnosis and treatment history. Learn more at the SFA website.
The FDA’s Cure ID platform lets patients, care partners, and clinicians share real-world treatment experiences across all sarcoma subtypes. Each submission helps researchers identify patterns, explore repurposed treatments, and shape future clinical studies.

20% sarcomas are ultra-rare, meaning they have an incidence of 1 per1,000,000 or less. For patients facing these diagnoses, rarity often means less research dollars, limited treatment options, and too few answers.
SFA helps ensure that all sarcoma patients receive the care they deserve.
Part 2 of our ctDNA Live with the Experts is happening next week! This session, we’ll cover a quick refresher on ctDNA basics, new insights since Part 1, unanswered audience questions, and a discussion on ctDNA’s current and future role in sarcoma research and clinical care

New study on drug combination for advanced sarcoma.
Researchers tested cabozantinib plus temozolomide in 72 patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma.
More research is needed, but these early results offer hope for patients needing new options. Full study: buff.ly/C5hvPHW
Today is Rare Disease Day. At any given time, more than 250,000 people are living with sarcoma. This community is vast, yet “rare” still too often means delayed diagnosis, limited treatment options, and too little research funding.
Support SFA: buff.ly/C5Olnjy
At an RTCS event, whether you attend as a volunteer, participant, or survivor, you will find a community of people whose lives have been touched by sarcoma. It is a space where stories are shared, support is offered, and hope is strengthened through being together.
Find a race near you.
Saturday is Rare Disease Day, a day to remember that behind every rare diagnosis is a person, a family, and a life forever changed. Rare may describe the numbers, but it does not define the strength, resilience, and hope of people like Angela.

By providing seed funding for translational science, SFA helps researchers take bold, high-risk ideas from concept to discovery. This turns promising science into the preliminary data that opens doors to federal funding and, ultimately, better therapies for patients who urgently need new options.
Support from SFA enabled Dr. Karen Pollok, PhD, to test a promising combination therapy for osteosarcoma that has spread or no longer responds to standard treatments. Because these drugs are already used in other cancers, this research could accelerate safer, more effective treatments.
Sarcoma represents about 1% of adult cancers and, like many rare cancers, faces delayed diagnoses, limited treatment options, and less research funding.
At SFA, we’re working to change that by funding research, supporting patients and families, and advocating for better outcomes.
