Ewing Sarcoma
Ewing Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that is most common in children and teens between the ages of 10 and 20. It is located in the bone or soft tissue around the bone, where in 87 percent of cases, the tumor starts growing in the bone, and in the remainder of cases, it begins in the cartilage or muscle around the bone. The most common places in which the tumors are found include the pelvis, the chest wall, and the legs.
Being a rare type of cancer, Ewing Sarcoma only affects about 200 children and young adults in the United States each year.
There are several types of Ewing Sarcoma, including Askin tumor, extraosseous Ewing sarcoma, and peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET). Because these cancers share genetic sources, they are regarded as being related.
