Just diagnosed with intimal sarcoma? Start here.

You have probably been told that this is very rare, that your doctors have not seen it before, and that there is not much information. All three are true. This is the information we wish we had had — written by patients, checked against the published literature, with the sources shown.

Three things to do this week

  1. Get the case reviewed at a sarcoma reference center — pathology, imaging and tumour board. How →
  2. Ask whether complete surgical removal is possible, and who has done this operation before. Why →
  3. Get the molecular report — and a copy of it. It confirms the diagnosis and decides which drugs and trials are possible. What it means →

And then, if you want to: write to us. A patient answers, not a bot. We cannot give medical advice, but we can tell you what we learned, where we would look, and whom we would ask.

This site provides information and community, not medical advice. Always discuss decisions with your own care team, ideally at a sarcoma reference center. No personal health data is collected without explicit consent.
