History
MWSTP: Established in 2012 from 7 academic institutions in the Midwest with expertise in sarcoma
The 7 academic medical centers (Mayo Clinic, Medical College of Wisconsin, Northwestern University, University of Iowa, University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, and Washington University in St. Louis) have established sarcoma programs with medical oncologists with interest and expertise in sarcoma. Due to transitions of sarcoma leadership, City of Hope has replaced Northwestern University.
All these institutions perform clinical trials in sarcoma
Geographically, these centers are mainly in the Midwest (includes Arizona and Florida for Mayo Clinic) and California with City of Hope and patients in this region have the ability to travel to several of these sites for consultations and participation in clinical trials
