Ewing’s Sarcoma​

Book Appointment

Ewing’s Sarcoma is a primary form of bone cancer which mostly impacts children and adolescents. When detected early enough, Ewing’s sarcoma can be successfully treated in a majority of cases.​

When to seek expert advise

Ewing’s Sarcoma usually occurs amongst teenagers, so at times the pains from the disease are mistaken as pains associated with growth spurts. In order to distinguish between the pains rising from the disease or growth spurt, you need to be wary of any recurring pains that may get progressively worse. Upon physical examination you may be able to feel a lump that is accompanied with swelling. You will notice that the lump doesn’t go away quickly and feels tender. You need to take immediate notice if you suffer bone breakage without any evident cause.  If you suffer from an unexplained and prolonged fever, visit a doctor working with the Oncology Service Line​ at The Aga Khan University Hospital.​​​
