Andrew was passionate about raising awareness about Sarcoma. Below are some of the stats and figures that resonated with him as he was starting this foundation.
This figure is multiples higher globally (~400,000 cases per year)
Only hematological (leukemia and lymphoma), brain and spinal cord cancers, and wilms tumor see more cases
Only certain types of childhood brain cancers such as glioblastoma remain more deadly than childhood sarcomas
The 5 year survival rates for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma, ewing sarcoma, and osteosarcoma are 15%, 38% and 27%, respectively.
Note that this figure is much more favorable for non-metastatic localized sarcoma that can be removed by surgery.
