Sarcoma and GIST Consultation
Sarcomas are malignant tumors of the soft tissues, including connective and supportive tissues as well as peripheral nerves and bones, which can develop almost anywhere in the body. With approximately 4,000 new cases per year in Germany, sarcomas are much rarer than carcinomas. There are more than 50 different subtypes of soft tissue sarcomas.
The key to successful treatment of these rare diseases is an accurate diagnosis as well as close interdisciplinary collaboration in specialized centers with extensive experience in developing and implementing a multimodal, interdisciplinary treatment plan.
For this purpose, the Sarcoma Center Hamburg was established in 2012, making it one of the largest sarcoma centers in Germany. It is part of the UCC Hamburg, where numerous clinics of UKE and outpatient partners have been working closely together for many years in both patient care and research.
We have established a sarcoma hotline for you. You can reach us here for questions or other concerns at:

A qualified and comprehensive consultation regarding sarcoma is only possible with all the necessary documents. To avoid unnecessary delays and repeated appointments, please bring the following documents to your scheduled appointment at the Sarcoma Clinic, if you already have them, or send them to the UCC Hamburg in advance. Any additional examinations that may be required will be arranged after your visit:
- valid referral letter
- discharge and surgical reports from previous hospital stays in chronological order, including a list of all previously performed therapies with dates and dosages
- histopathological report and, if available, the reference pathology report
- radiological images on CD along with the corresponding written reports
- current medication schedule
At the Sarcoma Center, in addition to soft tissue and bone sarcomas, all uncertain musculoskeletal tumors are treated. Treatment planning and implementation are conducted interdisciplinary, meaning that experts are available for the diagnosis of all unclear soft tissue masses and for the treatment of diagnosed, localized, or metastatic sarcomas. Large and complex surgical procedures can also be performed at our center as part of this approach.
Thanks to streamlined workflows and strong collaboration among sarcoma specialists with many years of experience across various medical disciplines, an individualized treatment plan can be developed for each patient efficiently and professionally.
We are happy to also provide second opinions. Each case is discussed interdisciplinary in the weekly sarcoma tumor board, and a joint treatment recommendation is formulated.
For years, UKE has been participating in numerous clinical sarcoma studies to provide our patients with early access to innovative therapies and to contribute to the improvement of sarcoma treatment through scientific research.
