#SarcomaAwarenessMonth runs for the whole of July. Did you know that bone sarcomas affect less than 500 people in the UK each year, making it a very rare form of cancer?

Also, not all bone cancers will be sarcomas. Soft tissue sarcomas can affect any part of the body; they develop in supporting or connective tissue such as the muscle, nerves, fatty tissue, and blood vessels.

Throughout July, The Christie Library will be highlighting resources which can help you find out more about this rare form of bone cancer.
