In this episode of SARC Talk, we meet with Dr. Peter Crane, a family physician practicing in rural Idaho, podcaster, and patient living with a rare sarcoma called solitary fibrous tumor (SFT).
Dr. Crane shares his personal experience navigating a rare cancer diagnosis while working within a rural healthcare system, including connecting with a sarcoma center, coordinating care between specialists and his local oncology team, and using telemedicine to help bring specialized care closer to home.
The conversation also explores Dr. Crane’s experience as the host of Doctors Making a Difference and how podcasting has helped him connect with physicians and patients. He also discusses the challenges of finding community when living with a rare tumor, the importance of patient registries and research, and how he became connected with the sarcoma community and SARC.
Dr. Crane also highlights the recently established Solitary Fibrous Tumor Foundation, an organization focused on building awareness, community, education, and support for people affected by SFT.
Throughout the conversation, Dr. Crane shares perspectives for patients, families, healthcare providers, and organizations working to improve awareness, research, and connection for people living with rare cancers and sarcoma.
