On 12th January Prof Fiona Walter gave the keynote presentation titled ‘Early Detection of cancer: a primary care perspective’ at the ‘Advancing Diagnosis of Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcomas’ meeting in Leeds, co-hosted by the Bone Cancer Research Trust and Sarcoma UK, in Leeds. The meeting included researchers, clinicians and allied healthcare professionals with an interest in diagnostics and / or sarcoma research & clinical management. The goal of the meeting was to develop potential proposals for research into the diagnosis of bone and soft tissue sarcomas, widely identified as a key research priority amongst the Bone Cancer Research Trust’s and Sarcoma UK’s patient communities and stakeholders. A joint funding call for research into this area, informed by this meeting of experts, will follow shortly.
