July is Sarcoma Awareness Month

🎗️ July is Sarcoma Awareness Month 🎗️
This July, we’re raising awareness about sarcomas—rare cancers that develop in the body’s supporting tissues, such as bones and muscles.
🔍 Did you know?
⚫Sarcomas are rare cancers that develop in different parts of the body, including the bones and soft tissues.
⚫Each year, about 4,300 people in England are diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma.
⚫About 550 people are diagnosed every year with primary bone cancer in the UK.
Despite their rarity, early detection is crucial, be vigilant for signs like unexplained lumps, swelling, or persistent pain, and consult your GP if you notice anything unusual.
