Among the many articles that have been published in ESUN, the detailed review articles on specific sarcomas have been widely read and downloaded. There are now sixteen such articles (see references below) and additional ones will appear in future issues of ESUN.
We are delighted to announce that a number of these articles are being translated into French, Polish and Spanish. Sarcoma advocacy groups and physicians in France, Poland and Spain have been working together to translate articles into the native languages of their respective countries. The translations then will become accessible to their sarcoma communities by making them available on various cancer center and advocacy websites. We will also publish the translations in ESUN and the first three such articles appear in this issue of ESUN.
We appreciate the time, effort, and expertise that goes into quality translations, particularly in a technical field such as medicine. This is a landmark collaboration consistent with the mantra that we use for many of our projects, "Sarcoma Knows No Borders." We need to thank the people and organizations for their generous help and expertise in bringing this about:
We would appreciate your feedback regarding this project. If you would like to participate in this international effort, please contact me.
