| | Ewings Sarcoma FAQ - CancerIndex |
 | | Symptoms of Ewing's sarcoma vary from person to person and depending on the location and size of the cancer. | | | The treatment of this tumour is local therapy (surgery and / or radiotherapy) combined with systemic chemotherapy. | | | Patients who survive Ewing's sarcoma and have children do not pass on an increased risk of cancer to their children. |

| | Sloan-Kettering - Soft-Tissue Sarcoma: Questions & Answers about Sarcoma |
| | Whether that doctor is a surgical oncologist, an orthopedic (bone) oncologist, a radiation oncologist, or a medical oncologist is probably less important than that the doctor is familiar with the disease. | | | Because sarcoma is rare, very few doctors ever see a sarcoma in their lifetime. | | | Radiation therapy is commonly given to limit the risk of a local recurrence at the same place where the sarcoma was removed. |

| | Soft Tissue Sarcomas: Questions and Answers, Cancer Facts 6.12 |
| | Treatment options for soft tissue sarcomas include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. | | | High-grade sarcomas are more likely to spread to other parts of the body. | | | About 50 percent occur in the extremities (the arms, legs, hands, or feet), 40 percent occur in the trunk (chest, back, hips, shoulders, and abdomen), and 10 percent occur in the head and neck. |

| | Amputation of sarcomas of the arm or leg in patients who have previously received radiation therapy. | | | Children who have metastatic soft tissue sarcoma may receive combined chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery to remove the cancer that has spread to the lungs. | | | Clinical trials are evaluating the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and colony-stimulating factors in patients who have not undergone surgery or who have metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. |

| | Although small sarcomas can be treated with surgery alone, the majority of sarcomas are routinely managed by a combination of surgery and radiation therapy. | | | Memorial Sloan-Kettering doctors generate more than half of the world's research publications on soft-tissue sarcomas and have the most extensive experience with these tumors of any medical group. | | | In this section you can find information about our expertise in treating patients with soft-tissue sarcomas, our services, and our research. |

| | Sarcoma / Connective Tissue Information |
| | The chance of curing a sarcoma increases if it is found and treated early. | | | Depending on the site of the cancer, it may or may not cause pain. | | | However, people who have had other types of cancer in the past seem to have a greater risk of developing a sarcoma. |

| | Radiation therapy is used to reduce local recurrence, especially after surgery that spared the limb from amputation. | | | Chemotherapy has been much less effective in other soft tissue sarcomas. | | | Recently, many surgeons are practicing more conservative surgery, including limb-sparing techniques. |
