Bone and soft tissue tumors

One or more of the following therapies can be recommended for treating cancer or helping alleviate symptoms. In most cases of Ewing's sarcoma, small areas of cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body through chemotherapy. They are called micrometastases. These areas are usually not displayed in imaging examinations. For this reason, chemotherapy, which spreads to various parts of the body, is almost always the first part of treating Ewing's sarcoma. Usually, it is followed by surgery and/or radiation therapy and further chemotherapy. Children's Cancer Hospital provides the latest and advanced chemotherapy regimens. Targeted Therapy Children's Cancer Hospital is leading the future of cancer treatment by developing innovative targeted therapies. These drugs are specifically designed to treat specific gene/molecular profiles of each type of cancer to help the body fight against the disease. Many doctors who treat Ewing's sarcoma at Children's Oncology Hospital are dedicated researchers who initiate and actively lead clinical trials of new targeted formulations both domestically and internationally. Surgical procedures can be used to treat Ewing's sarcoma, as it can be found in many parts of the body. Your doctor will tell you the best type of surgery based on your child's special needs and possible side effects. The surgery for treating Ewing's sarcoma attempts to remove as many tumors as possible without damaging the surrounding area. At children's oncology hospitals, our professional orthopedic doctors are usually able to avoid amputation when the tumor grows in the arms or legs. The complex limb salvage surgery removed the tumor, but preserved the tendons, nerves, and blood vessels. Any removed bone is replaced with a bone graft or internal prosthesis, similar to an artificial joint. Like all surgeries, the most successful surgery for Ewing's sarcoma was performed by an expert with extensive special surgical experience. The surgeons at the Children's Cancer Hospital are one of the most skilled and recognized doctors in the world. They are one of the few surgeons in the world specializing in the treatment of childhood sarcoma, using minimally invasive and state-of-the-art technology specifically designed for children. Radiation therapy (also known as radiotherapy) uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells. New radiation therapy technology and excellent skills enable doctors at children's cancer hospitals to more accurately target tumors and provide the maximum amount of radiation with minimal damage to healthy cells. This is a particularly important growth institution. Children's Cancer Hospital provides the most advanced radiation therapy, including three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, proton therapy, which directly delivers high-dose radiation to the tumor, protecting nearby healthy tissues and important organs. For many patients, this will better control cancer and have less impact on the body.
