Ruber Internacional Hospital, part of the Quirónsalud Group, is participating in the 3rd Sarcoma Open Days through its Sarcoma Unit. This initiative is organised around National Sarcoma Day, observed annually on 20 September, with this year's activities taking place from 21 to 25 September.

Organised by the Mari Paz Jiménez Casado Foundation, the event aims to raise public awareness of sarcoma through an informative and participatory approach. It brings together patients, families, patient associations and healthcare professionals in a range of activities designed to improve understanding of the disease, share experiences and contribute to more multidisciplinary and patient-centred care.

Sarcoma encompasses a diverse group of tumours which, due to their characteristics and complexity, require specialised care and close coordination between professionals from different medical disciplines. In this context, initiatives such as these Open Days provide opportunities for medical knowledge and patients' personal experiences to complement one another, helping to improve understanding of the disease and its treatment.

The Sarcoma Unit at Ruber Internacional Hospital Joins #VocesDelSarcoma

The Sarcoma Unit at Ruber Internacional Hospital is participating in the third edition through its specialists, who have contributed to the production of a video for the event. The aim is to raise awareness of sarcoma and highlight to patients, families and the wider public the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to its diagnosis and treatment.

This year's initiative brings together 30 hospitals and 10 sarcoma patient associations from 13 autonomous communities across Spain, with a variety of activities scheduled throughout the week.

One of the main events will take place on 23 September, from 12:00 to 13:00, when participating hospitals and patient associations will join a live online session entitled "Diagnostic Challenges in Aggressive Fibromatosis: A Patient's Experience". The programme aims to bring together medical expertise and the experiences of those living with the disease in a shared space for discussion and dialogue.

The Open Days will also address issues related to the management and treatment of sarcoma, as well as aspects that may contribute to patients' well-being and quality of life, including nutrition, physical exercise and relaxation techniques.

The initiative will conclude with a joint social media campaign under the hashtag #VocesDelSarcoma, bringing together healthcare professionals, patients, associations and hospitals to raise awareness and promote greater public understanding of sarcoma.
