Surgical units attending sarcomas in Spain are poor studied. The aim is to know the management of this pathology to identify areas of improvement through multicenter study based on a voluntary survey. The survey was completed by 74 surgeons of different hospitals, which 32.4% is exclusively dedicated to sarcomas. Only 24.3% declared to receive specific training in sarcomas. The most frequent type of hospital was the third level (56.8%), where 38.1% of the surgeons belong to societies or working-groups in sarcoma fields vs. 9.4% in first-second levels. The number of surgeons with specific theoretical training and papers published in this field are higher in third level hospitals. 55.4% belonged to a multidisciplinary unit. A multidisciplinary team was available in 57% of third level hospital vs. 28% in others. Most services in charge of these patients are characterized by deficient specialization, low workload and the absence of a multidisciplinary team.
