Ewing Sarcoma
University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center Provides Comprehensive Care for Patients with Ewing Sarcoma
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, we know you have many questions. Ewing sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that forms around and affects the bones. Although it can affect people of any age, Ewing sarcoma is more common in children and young adults and is often found in teenagers during growth spurts. UH Seidman Cancer Center’s physicians and specialists are experts at diagnosing and treating Ewing sarcoma, working together to tailor cancer treatment to each patient’s individual needs.
Nationally Recognized Cancer Program
UH Seidman Cancer Center is a nationally recognized cancer program with expertise for both routine and very complex care, including more advanced stage III and IV cancer care. UH Seidman Cancer Center is part of the National Cancer Institute-designated Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, one of an elite group of 41 comprehensive cancer centers nationwide.
