The role and purpose of the Sarcoma CRG is to improve the experience and outcomes of cancer care for Sarcoma patients in the Lancashire & South Cumbria Cancer footprint.
This involves consideration of strategies and plans for service improvement and service development across the patient pathway, incorporating all aspects of care at appropriate stages of the patient's journey. The aim is to achieve the best possible outcomes and best quality of life for all patients who use Sarcoma cancer services within the Network.

Members of the group also link into the Merseyside & Cheshire Sarcoma Network Group to discuss patient pathways and guidelines related to the Specialist Sarcoma MDT.
