Ewing Family of Tumors
Ewing Family of Tumors (EFT) is a group of rare cancers that primarily affect bones and soft tissues, most commonly in children and young adults.
EFT often begins in long bones, pelvis, or chest wall, and may spread to other organs. Early diagnosis and specialized treatment involving chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation significantly improve outcomes.
Causes and Risk Factors of Ewing Tumors
The exact cause is unknown, though genetic mutations play a role.
- Age factor: Mostly affects children and young adults aged 10–20 years.
- No specific lifestyle causes identified.
- Genetic susceptibility: Rare familial cases suggest genetic influence.
Symptoms and Early Signs
Symptoms vary by tumor location but often include pain, swelling, or limited mobility.
- Localized bone pain
- Swelling or mass: May be visible or palpable over affected bone
- Fatigue or unexplained fever
- Fractures in affected bones
Treatment Options for Ewing Tumors
Treatment is aggressive and multi-modal to prevent metastasis.
- Chemotherapy: Used before and after surgery to shrink tumors and prevent recurrence.
- Surgical resection: Complete removal of tumor while preserving function.
- Radiation therapy: Used when surgery is not possible or for residual disease.
