A feature on sarcoma diagnosis has been published in Pulse, one of the UK’s most influential GP publications, during Sarcoma Awareness Month 2025. The article, titled ‘Once in a lifetime’ sarcoma, aims to support GPs to recognise and refer patients more confidently when faced with this rare form of cancer.
Written by Dr Meena Rafiq, the piece covers key warning signs, typical delays in diagnosis, and what primary care professionals can do when they suspect sarcoma. It also features clinical guidance, links to further resources, and quotes from patients and healthcare professionals.
With Pulse reaching 35,000 print readers and over 340,000 monthly website visitors, this coverage marks a significant step in Sarcoma UK’s work to reach healthcare professionals with vital information.
‘This year’s Sarcoma Awareness Month campaign is focused on the people most likely to see the signs of sarcoma first,’ says Mark Bhagwandin, Communications Manager at Sarcoma UK. ‘For GPs, recognising the symptoms early and referring promptly can make all the difference. We’re thrilled to see this piece land in such a trusted and widely read platform.’
The feature is part of a wider strategy to drive earlier diagnosis by reaching healthcare professionals across primary and secondary care. Throughout July, Sarcoma UK is running targeted activity across LinkedIn, The BMJ, GPOnline, Pulse and Radiopaedia, alongside new clinical resources and videos.
