Ewing's family of tumors

Ewing's family of tumors are rare types of cancer that mainly develop in the bones or soft tissues of children and young adults. These tumors are linked by a common genetic change that causes cells to grow uncontrollably. They often present as painful lumps or swelling and may affect the ribs, pelvis, or legs. Treatment typically involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment improve the chances of successful outcomes, but these tumors can be challenging to treat due to their aggressive nature.
