Cancer Care Teams

Get the specialized sarcoma care you deserve

Sometimes, cancer can take root in bones or connective tissue like muscle, fat, and nerves. These rare tumors are best treated by specialists—experts who focus on this exact type of cancer.

At the Parkview Packnett Family Cancer Institute (PFCI), we have northeast Indiana’s only team that’s dedicated to treating sarcomas and musculoskeletal tumors. Our team-oriented approach means you can get convenient, world-class care from a variety of experts, often in the same visit. Our orthopedic oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, palliative care pathologists, radiologists, plastic surgeons, and other specialists work together to provide comprehensive care that’s customized to fit your specific needs.

Our team participates in national sarcoma organizations such as the Sarcoma Alliance and the Sarcoma Foundation of America. We also offer access to multiple clinical trials and emerging treatment options, so you can rest assured you’re getting the most advanced care, close to home.

Call (833) 724-8326 for information on scheduling an appointment.

An inspiring perspective

”When I was first diagnosed [with osteosarcoma], I was angry, because who wouldn’t be when you’re diagnosed with cancer at 17? Going through treatment, I had good days and bad days. I met some of my best friends, I met my amazing care team, and I found a great platform to represent through this organization that I now represent for Miss America that I call “The C Word.” It’s all about starting a conversation about cancer. To have this opportunity is the absolute best thing in the world. It is my goal to hopefully work at Parkview in pediatric oncology to help kids with cancer.”
