Overview

The Ottawa Hospital Sarcoma Program at the University of Ottawa provides comprehensive tertiary and quaternary care for patients with sarcoma and related musculoskeletal tumors from Ottawa and eastern Ontario, including the pediatric population at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Our multidisciplinary sarcoma unit has been actively involved with Cancer Care Ontario’s reorganization of Sarcoma services in Ontario and has been designated as one of three host Sarcoma Centers of Excellence in Ontario. A full spectrum of limb salvage surgery is offered as well as advanced chemotherapy, image guided intensity modulated radiation therapy, and advanced rehabilitation and physical therapy. Support services are coordinated though a sarcoma designated advanced practice nurse.
