SFA is proud to serve as the Strategic Patient Advocacy Partner for the OncoDaily Grand Rounds at ESMO 2026: Sarcoma Edition. Pan Pantziarka, our Director of Europe Strategy and Engagement, will represent SFA in bringing patient perspectives into scientific discussions to help advance more patient-centered sarcoma care.

Join us on October 29th for another Live With the Experts education session exploring fluorescence-guided surgery in sarcoma, including how the technique works, its potential applications, and the research evaluating its use.  The discussion will cover how fluorescent dyes and special cameras help surgeons visualize tumors during surgery; the potential benefits and limitations of this approach; and the SarcoSIGHT clinical trial, including eligibility, where participation is available, and what participation involves. Our speakers will also discuss future directions, including emerging targeted imaging agents. Register: buff.ly/jFM1OfG #Sarcoma #CureSarcoma #SarcomaEducation

For Michael and Shelley Kennan, supporting the sarcoma community is a meaningful way to support their family. Through the Scott Lively Memorial Golf Tournament, their support has helped fund multiple $75,000 research grants, investing in work to develop better treatments for people with sarcoma. We’re so grateful to Michael and Shelley for their continued generosity and commitment to the sarcoma community. #Sarcoma #SupportSarcomaResearch #CureSarcoma

October is National Estate Planning Awareness Month, a time to think about the legacy you want to leave behind.

"It was on our second date in the summer of 2020 that I heard Meghan say the word “sarcoma” for the first time. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of watching her navigate treatment, ring the bell toward healing, celebrate career promotions, and continue to show the same resilience she has carried throughout her 10-year journey with fibromyxoid sarcoma on the dura of her brain. As an asthmatic and someone who never considered myself the greatest athlete, when you watch someone you love fight so courageously, you decide you’d run to the end of the world for them. I have run over 500 miles and completed five half marathons in support of those and their families dealing with cancer, especially those who find themselves as the 1% of the 1%. Meg has been there for me at the finish line of every race I’ve run and this summer, I got to wait for her at the finish line down the aisle as we became husband and wife. The money raised on behalf of the Sarcoma Foundation of America will help strengthen and lengthen lives, and that’s why I’ll continue to lace up. Meg, you’re my hero." - Shaun Nerney, RTCS New Jersey #Sarcoma #CureSarcoma #RTCS #RTCSNewJersey
