How is Ewing sarcoma treated?

Ewing sarcoma may be treated with:

  • Chemotherapy: to shrink the tumor and prevent new ones from forming. Chemotherapy uses medicine that goes through the body to kill cancer cells wherever they are. For Ewing sarcoma, chemotherapy is often given before and after surgery and other treatment. Children who undergo chemotherapy at Miami Cancer Institute can choose from a variety of interactive experiences in our child-friendly Infusionarium.
  • Surgery: to remove the cancerous areas. Our surgeons are leaders in procedures that completely remove tumors while preserving use of the affected body part. If needed, we can perform limb-lengthening procedures to more fully restore the affected bone.
  • Radiation therapy: usually intensive-modulated radiation to precisely target the tumor; in certain body locations, proton therapy is preferred. Our radiation oncology team will create a treatment plan based on your child’s specific needs.

Pediatric Infusionarium

Pediatric Infusionarium

Cancer treatment can be scary. Distractions can help kids tolerate their therapy better. That’s why Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute created the Pediatric Infusionarium. It’s a space that uses virtual reality and live feeds to connect kids to technological experiences during treatments, easing the effects of chemotherapy.
