Question 1

could you tell me what happens if ewings sarcoma is not caught early?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Depends on what you mean by early. Ewing's sarcoma is usually discovered once it causes symptoms like a mass or pain. It is almost impossible to catch it before then. If it is caught before it spreads, chances of cure are about 70%. If it already spread, the chances go down to about 30% or less. Each case is different though.

Question 2

is ewings sarcoma fatal?

Accepted Answer

Often is: Untreated, or treated only by a charlatan, it is 100% fatal. Generally it requires chemotherapy. The odds in early disease are quite good, and even with metastatic disease cures sometimes happen.

Question 3

how likely is ewings sarcoma coming back after five years?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Overall rate of event free survival, meaning the tumor doesn't return in the same spot or spreads somewhere, is about 70% at 5 years. If the tumor hasn't returned at 5 years, it's unlikely to pop up later in life, though it is possible. Every case is different, though. Just do what you can to maximize your chances of beating the cancer and pray for the best. Good luck.

Question 4

i was wondering what are the side effects of ewings sarcoma?

Accepted Answer

It is a bone Cancer: Ewings has good treatments but they involve chemotherapy which has side effects. Radiation therapy is often used after chemotherapy. So it is all pretty involved and the patient goes through a lot of visits to hospitals and suffer the side effects of treatments besides loss of time from job/school etc. Your oncologist can explain all this to you if you ask.

Question 5

is there any relation between ewings sarcoma and ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: I know no syndrome in which the two run together, but if they did both occur at a young age in the same person, i would suspect one of the cancer family syndromes such as li fraumeni.  If there was otherwise a strong family history, or the person wished to make a decision about parenthood, then a talk with a geneticist would be in order.

Question 6

what are the signs of soft tissue sarcoma?

Accepted Answer

A mass: These always announce themselves as a mass.  You may feel it, or it may push on something.  Very rarely do they produce remote / paraneoplastic effects.  They are a hugely variable family and i would urge you to have several pathologists examine the tissue prior to a definitive diagnosis being made.
