There was a mistake in Figure 3 as published. By mistake, all five maps in Figure 3 showed only the sarcoma primary cases of the Sarcoma Center Stuttgart. The corrected Figure 3 appears below.

Distribution of patients with sarcoma first diagnoses treated in the sarcoma centers Mannheim, Heidelberg, Stuttgart, Freiburg and Tübingen with absolute patient numbers across the postal code areas. Each center is displayed individually to visualize its specific catchment area.

Maps display the distribution of sarcoma cases from 2019 to 2022 for four centers in Germany: Mannheim, Heidelberg, Stuttgart, Freiburg, and Tübingen. Color gradients from yellow to red indicate increasing numbers of cases, with each center featuring a legend denoting case numbers from one to twelve or thirteen.
