Because of the rarity of Leiomyosarcoma, and the higher survival rates of sarcoma patients who are treated at sarcoma centers, we feel it is ESSENTIAL that you also request a referral to a <b>sarcoma oncologist</b> or sarcoma treatment center for overseeing your treatment, or for a second opinion.  We define a sarcoma oncologist as an oncologist who sees at least 100 sarcoma patients a year, and who often works in or near a sarcoma treatment center.*

The diagnosis of cancer and its implications can create anguish and shock.  All of us have been there.
