Diagnosing Ewing's Sarcoma
Ewing's Sarcoma - is a cancer that usually affects young adults and children.
Named after Dr. James Ewing (who described the disease in the 1920s) - is a
cancer that usually begins in the bones but can occur in soft tissue. The good
news is that most of the children diagnosed from this cancer can be cured.
Diagnosis - patients of this cancer usually have pain in the area of the cancer.
Other symptoms may occur and are dependent on the stage and location of the
site. The cancer usually weakens the bone and as a result may break as a result
of a minor injury or fall. As a result persons who have this cancer are usually
diagnosed as the result of these unusual fractures. The location (in bones) of
these tumors may make locating the cancer by X-ray difficult and as a result may
require other forms of diagnosing methods such as MRI and CT scans.
Treatment - Size, the position and the stage of cancer development play an
important role in the form of treatment required. Surgery can sometimes remove
the tumor without causing much damage. More advance stages may require radiation
and chemotherapy.
