Ewing sarcoma occurs about 10- to 20-fold more commonly in people of European descent compared to people of African descent. [51] [11] Ewing sarcoma is the second most common bone cancer in children and adolescents, with poor prognosis and outcome in ~70% of initial diagnoses and 10–15% of relapses. [52]
The Ewing family of tumors (EFTs) is a group of small cell sarcomas including Ewing sarcoma of the bone, extra osseous Ewing tumors, and primitive neuroectodermal tumors. They are rare cancers, usually diagnosed in peoples' twenties. The sarcoma of bone is the most common of the variants. All forms are predisposed to metastasis and have had ...
Usual onset. Rapid, <5years and >35years of age [2] Diagnostic method. Medical imaging [2] Treatment. Chemotherapy, surgical removal, radiation therapy [2] Frequency. 0.4 per million, males=females [2] Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES), is a cancer of soft tissue, a type of Ewing sarcoma that does not arise from bone.
A sarcoma is a malignant tumor, a type of cancer that arises from cells of mesenchymal (connective tissue) origin. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Connective tissue is a broad term that includes bone , cartilage , muscle , fat , vascular , or other structural tissues, and sarcomas can arise in any of these types of tissues.
Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor (DSRCT) is an aggressive and rare cancer that primarily occurs as masses in the abdomen. [4] Other areas affected may include the lymph nodes, the lining of the abdomen, diaphragm, spleen, liver, chest wall, skull, spinal cord, large intestine, small intestine, bladder, brain, lungs, testicles, ovaries, and the pelvis.
Primitive neuroectodermal tumor. Micrograph of an H&E stained section of a peripheral PNET. Primitive neuroectodermal tumor is a malignant (cancerous) neural crest tumor. [1] It is a rare tumor, usually occurring in children and young adults under 25 years of age. The overall 5 year survival rate is about 53%.
For the most common subtype, HR-positive, HER2-negative, which accounts for 60% to 70% of all breast cancer diagnoses, Black women were 50% more likely to die from the disease than white women ...
The diagnosis was post-auricular congenital alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a highly aggressive form of cancer that develops from mesenchymal cells that have failed to fully differentiate into myocytes of skeletal muscle. Cells of the tumor are identified as rhabdomyoblasts. [1]
