Patient Advocacy Groups
Sarcoma Patient Advocacy Global Network (SPAGN) is the global network of national Sarcoma Patient Advocacy Organizations. Today, more than 60 member groups from 5 continents gather under the umbrella of SPAGN, providing a common, international and influential patient voice for sarcoma patients around the globe. SPAGN is working to improve the treatment and care of sarcoma patients through information and support, and by increasing the visibility of sarcoma with policymakers and the public.1

Because desmoid tumours are rare,2 the diagnosis can raise more questions for patients than answers. Your patients may feel discouraged,2 like the tumour is taking over their lives.
Understanding the nature of their disease and management strategies can help reduce their confusion.
