Ewing’s Sarcoma
Book AppointmentEwing’s Sarcoma is a primary form of bone cancer (cancer originating in the bone cells) which mostly impacts children and adolescents. It usually occurs in the leg bones and hipbones. The sarcoma (tumour arising in the connective tissues of the body) can also develop in the bones of the arms, spine, skull and chest.
When detected early enough, Ewing’s sarcoma can be successfully treated in a majority of cases.
When to seek expert advice
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 can consult a doctor working with the Department of Oncology at The Aga Khan University Hospital.
