Learning outcomes

- Understand the clinical presentation of sarcomas
- Understand the common differential diagnoses for soft tissue swellings and bone pain
- Be confident in identifying the red flag features of sarcomas and know which patients should be referred urgently
- Have a brief insight into the specialist investigations and management options available for patients in regional sarcoma centres.
