Dr Robin Young and his team at the University of Sheffield want to find out if a simple blood sample before a scan could help tell us if a sarcoma has started to spread or that someone was at high risk of their sarcoma spreading.
Did you know that sarcoma is far more common in dogs than it is in humans?
A team at the University of Cambridge hopes to get a better understanding of how osteosarcoma spreads by measuring the levels of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in the blood of dogs with osteosarcoma.
We're currently funding 19 excellent research projects into sarcoma across 12 UK centres. Sarcoma UK are funding these projects to understand more about sarcoma, find new treatments and ultimately identify a cure.
We used £7,385 of your donations to help fund a project at the University of Edinburgh, and we’re delighted to report that there has been a breakthrough.
