[Sarcomas management network in France]

Goals of network structuration is to organize and improve outcomes for people with sarcoma. While it is difficult to predict the influence of that structuration, it is assumed that advances in health care organization will result in improvements in patient outcomes. Aims of such a network care are multiple: to offer a high level of care to all patients, at diagnostic level as well as at therapeutic level, to improve the skill of doctors to facilitate updating knowledge and to reinforce clinical research. On the other hand, it is a time consuming project for all actors, technical material is to be installed to connect all participants, heavy investments which are to be accurately assessed. The GSF-GETO (Groupe sarcome français-Groupe d'étude sur les tumeurs osseuses) started in that way, based on the role of Multidisciplinary Concertation Meeting as the cement of a national network.
