Aim

The aim of this study was to review the referral pattern of Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) in the Mersey region. We were interested in the referrals that came from other specialties [not primary care] and how they were managed before being finally referred on to the Tumour Unit.

Methods

This was a retrospective review of 175 patients with a histological diagnosis of a STS. Case notes were reviewed and information was collected about the management by the first referred specialty doctor and the length of time to be referred to the specialist unit.
