An analysis of the distribution of bone and soft tissue sarcoma diagnoses and their disparities in Southwest Germany: a multicenter approach
In future, the access to high-volume centers needs to be facilitated in order to minimize the observed discrepancies between treatment in specialized sarcoma centers and low-volume centers in Southwest Germany. Our analysis highlights such discrepancies and may support future efforts to improve outcomes for sarcoma patients.
