Ewing Sarcoma: Causes, Tests, and Treatment Options

Ewing sarcoma is a rare type of bone cancer that typically affects adolescents—although it can strike anyone at any age. Although Ewing sarcoma is generally associated with bone cancer, other subtypes do exist. For example, one particular subtype of Ewing Sarcoma, called Extraosseous Ewing sarcoma, can affect soft tissue outside of the bone. This aggressive cancer can spread to other parts of the body and can become a life-threatening condition. However, Ewing sarcoma is treatable; more than two-thirds of patients survive five years or more after diagnosis. If you or a loved one is suffering from Ewing sarcoma, this informative and concise book will tell you the causes, tests and available treatment options you have open to you.
