At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, we’re studying how sarcomas develop, how they evade the body’s defenses and how to trigger the immune system to fight them.

Our Sarcoma Researchers
Our interdisciplinary scientists and clinicians work together to prevent, diagnose and treat sarcoma as well as other cancers and diseases.
Patient Treatment and Care
At Fred Hutch, our interdisciplinary teams work together to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, HIV/AIDS and other diseases. Our aim is to provide patients access to advanced treatment options while getting the best cancer care.
Selected Sarcoma Clinical Trials
Clinical research is an essential part of the scientific process that leads to new treatments and better care. Clinical trials can also be a way for patients to get early access to new cutting-edge new therapies. Our clinical research teams are running clinical studies on various kinds of sarcoma.
Immunotherapies
Targeted Drug Treatment
Immunotherapies
We’re world leaders in harnessing the immune system to attack cancer. A prime example is T-cell therapy, which deploys a specialized type of immune cell, the T cell. Hutch scientists are reprogramming patients’ own T cells to better recognize and target telltale markers on sarcomas. We run clinical trials that are combining radiation treatment with these T-cell therapies. And we test drugs called checkpoint inhibitors, which take the brakes off a patient’s immune system so it mounts a better response against sarcomas.

Targeted Drug Therapies
We’re studying new drugs that target substances on or in sarcoma cells and disrupt their ability to grow and spread.
