UK practice is to diagnose "soft tissue sarcoma" - rarely does a consultant voluntarily pass on the sub-type/histology information to patients, although he does give it to GPs. If you are in any doubt as to which type of sarcoma you have, and want to be better informed, you can check with the consultant or ask your GP, who should have all the information. One may need to be quite tough about insisting on knowing it because some of the more old-fashioned medics are a bit precious about it.

You may be told the tumour grade when diagnosed. If not the GP should also be able to give the tumour grade from the hospital report. He probably will not have the full path lab report or any radiologist reports from CT or MRI scans but these are not secret documents and he can ask for copies of them, and give copies to you.
