Job description
Job responsibilities
SARCOMA AND CANCER SERVICES Historically, the use of chemotherapy in the treatment of sarcomas was thought to have no significance and amputation was the standard treatment for tumour ablation. The first limb salvage surgery involving endoprosthetic replacement for a primary Bone Tumour Unit was undertaken in 1948 and introduction of multi-agent chemotherapy drug regimes demonstrated significantly improved survival rates. The London Sarcoma Service ( has an international reputation for excellence in sarcoma care. It sees 3,500 new patients per year and has weekly multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings attended by oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, surgeons, nurse specialists and admin staff. The Bone and Soft Tissue Tumour Unit at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital provides diagnostic and surgical treatment for extremity sarcomas. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy is administered at University College London Hospitals. The two units have a very close working relationship.
