About the Faris D. Virani Ewing Sarcoma Center
The Ewing Sarcoma Center, part of the Solid Tumor Programs at Texas Children’s Cancer Center, is dedicated to research, advancement and treatment of Ewing sarcoma, the second most common bone tumor in children. The center was officially established by Dr. Asha and Mr. Farid Virani in honor of their son Faris’ battle with Ewing sarcoma.
Evaluation and treatment
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.
