As one of the most challenging forms of cancer to treat, these tumors often originate in large bones such as the hip, shin, chest and arm bones. Approximately 250 new cases of this type of tumor are diagnosed in the United States per year. As members of the Children’s Oncology Group, Texas Children’s Cancer Center uses several treatment options for children diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, including chemotherapy, surgery and radiation therapy.
