Zusammenfassung:Sarcomas are a grouping of rare cancers with a wide variety of histological types that are difficult to diagnose and treat. This leads to many varying challenges not only for sarcoma patients, but also for doctors, researchers, and caregivers. Patient advocacy groups have an important role to play in rare cancers such as sarcomas, especially in collaboration with experts and their medical societies. To this end, patients and patient advocates from Sarcoma Patients EuroNet (SPAEN), a global network of national Sarcoma Patient Advocacy Groups, and medical experts from the scientifically driven Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) came together on 9 November 2021 at an official ancillary event to the CTOS 2021 Annual Meeting. At the event, representatives of CTOS and SPAEN jointly discussed gaps and challenges in global sarcoma care and management. This resulting position paper highlights the main findings and possible future steps.
