Sarcomas can arise as primary tumours in the lungs and the chest, although more commonly secondary lung tumours can develop in the lungs, spreading from primary tumours elsewhere in the body. The sarcoma team works closely with a specialised team of thoracic surgeons based at the Royal Brompton Hospital, who have many years' experience of complex sarcoma lung surgery. Patients are discussed at a weekly dedicated Thoracic Sarcoma MDT Meeting.
