About EuSARC
EuSARC is a Europe-wide group of dedicated scientists and clinicians holding regular meetings to bridge the gap between basic and clinical research on sarcomas. The EuSARC 2024 meeting takes place in Le Pouliguen and and will have the theme the Biology of Sarcoma : from Basic Mechanisms to Innovative Therapies.
The EuSARC community intends to improve communication among scientists and clinicians that share the passion for sarcoma research. By organizing annual meetings, EuSARC aims to raise awareness of the dire need for novel research approaches to tackle these poorly explored tumors.
Sarcomas are malignant tumors of bones and soft tissue – a heterogeneous group that collectively accounts for approximately 2% of all cancers. They are among the least studied cancer types and have seen little therapeutic progress. Fresh ideas and initiatives are needed to address the unmet medical need of these hard-to-treat tumors.
