Patients know when something feels “off” and they deserve clear answers. More than half of sarcoma patients consult ≥ 3 physicians before diagnosis, and only 7.7 % of GPs suspect sarcoma at the first visit.

Early imaging or biopsy shaves months off of diagnosis and improves patient outcomes. Let’s normalize “No Non‑Answers.”
