Ewing's Sarcoma

Ewing’s sarcoma is a type of bone cancer characterized by a solid tumor that usually develops in the thigh, shin or upper arm. While there is no known cause for this rare condition, it typically occurs in young people between the ages of five and 20 years old and is more commonly diagnosed in boys than girls. Depending on the type, location and size of the tumor, Ewing’s sarcoma may be treated with surgery to remove the mass as well as radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy.
