How Ewing Sarcoma Is Treated And Managed
January 9, 2019
One of the many rare types of cancer is Ewing sarcoma, which begins in either the bones or the soft tissue surrounding the bones. While Ewing sarcoma can occur within any bone, it most frequently starts in the long bones found in the arms, legs, or pelvis. It's less common for this cancer to begin in soft tissue, but still possible. Ewig sarcoma can occur no matter an individual's age, but it's more commonly found in young adults and teenagers. Over the past few decades, there have been quite a few advancements in the ways Ewing sarcoma is treated. These significantly improve quality of life and life expectancy for patients. There's no known way to prevent Ewing sarcoma, and no causes for the disease are currently known.
