Getting diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma

There are some things you can do to get the most out of your GP appointment if you have symptoms of a soft tissue sarcoma.

Your GP should arrange for you to have a test or to see a specialist if you have symptoms that could be due to a soft tissue sarcoma.

Screening aims to find a cancer early. No national screening is available for soft tissue sarcoma.

You have a number of tests to check for soft tissue sarcoma. The tests you might have include an ultrasound scan and taking a sample of tissue called a biopsy.
