Sarcoma - A Rare Cancer That Strikes Connective Tissue

Tuesday, July 8, 2025

Sarcoma is a rare but aggressive cancer that strikes the body’s connective tissues—bones, muscles, cartilage, or fat—and can appear almost anywhere, making it a silent threat that’s often hard to detect. Did you know it’s the deadliest cancer for children and young adults, claiming nearly one-third of cancer-related deaths in Australians aged 15–24, despite theyʻre being just 15% of diagnoses in this group?

4ZZZ's Eliot Rifkin is joined Dr Madeleine Strach, an oncologist with the Australia and New Zealand Sarcoma Association (ANZSA) to help us get an understanding of this rare cancer.

For a deep dive...

Visit ANZSA which acts as a central point of contact on Sarcoma information. If you'd like to understand Sarcoma a little deeper here's Sarcoma's Wikipedia page.  Check these links to find a Sarcoma specialist or if you're looking for an AYA (Adolescent and young adult - sarcoma program).  

...and finally, If you'd like to "Raise a sweat & raise funds for sarcoma cancer research" sign-up for The Great Sarcoma Plankathon  for Sarcoma Awareness Month 2025 and participate.
