“Sarcoma Patients EuroNet is a very welcome development. We need to involve patients in clinical trials at the design stage so that the relevance of what we do can be considered at the outset. In addition, SPAEN will be valuable helping patients understand what being tr eated in a clinical trial could mean to them. Together we can complete research more quickly and introduce new treatments faster.”

Prof. Dr. Jean Yes Blay, Chair of the SPAEN Scientific Board
