Sarcoma Awareness Month is observed every year in July with the aim of raising awareness of sarcomas; rare cancers that develop in the supporting tissues of the body. There are two main types of sarcoma: soft tissue sarcoma and bone sarcoma (primary bone cancer). According to Macmillan Cancer Support there are around 4,300 people in England diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma every year and around 550 people a year diagnosed with primary bone cancer.
