We are pleased to welcome Sarcoma Central as the first pilot community of researchers and healthcare professionals on the recently launched Rapid Science Collaboration Platform (see international founding members below). This groundbreaking platform is designed to bring findings and insights from the lab to the clinic more rapidly. A key feature is the Cases Central database to which anonymized patient data are contributed and discussed in open and closed groups.
