Ewing’s sarcoma

This is named after the surgeon who first described it. This bone cancer is also most often diagnosed in teenagers.

Ewing's most often start in the pelvis, thigh (femur) or shin (tibia) bones. It is also possible to get a Ewing's tumour in the soft tissues of the body. Soft connective tissue tumours are called 'soft tissue sarcomas'. If you have a soft tissue Ewing's tumour, you will receive the type of treatment described in this section of CancerHelp UK, as these tumours respond to the same treatment as Ewing's bone tumours.
