In the US, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) publishes guidelines recommending [[Cancer screening|preventive screening]] for certain types of common cancers and other diseases.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|url=https://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/BrowseRec/Index|title=Published Recommendations - US Preventive Services Task Force|website=www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org|access-date=2019-03-20}}</ref> {{As of|2019|March}}, the USPSTF does not recommend screening for sarcoma,<ref name=":4" /> possibly because it is a very rare type of cancer (see Epidemiology below).

The American Cancer Society (ACS) also publishes guidelines recommending preventive screening for certain types of common cancers.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|url=https://www.cancer.org/healthy/find-cancer-early/cancer-screening-guidelines/american-cancer-society-guidelines-for-the-early-detection-of-cancer.html|title=Cancer Screening Guidelines {{!}} Detecting Cancer Early|website=www.cancer.org|language=en|access-date=2019-03-20}}</ref> Like the USPSTF, {{As of|2019|March|lc=y}} ACS does not recommend preventive screening for sarcoma.<ref name=":5" />
