Activity Description

Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a highly metastatic form of sarcoma that ranks as the second most prevalent primary malignant bone tumor, predominantly afflicting adolescents. Historically associated with high mortality rates despite treatment attempts, considerable advancements in local therapy and multiagent adjuvant chemotherapy have substantially improved the 5-year survival rate from less than 20% to over 70%. However, challenges persist, particularly concerning the recurrence rate. Timely recognition and treatment are imperative to mitigate Ewing sarcoma–related morbidity and mortality risks.

By participating in this course, healthcare professionals will enhance their competence in Ewing sarcoma's early recognition, diagnosis, and management. They will gain practical insights into the latest advancements in treatment modalities and understand how a collaborative approach improves patient outcomes. The course enriches clinical knowledge and emphasizes the importance of effective communication and coordination among diverse healthcare professionals, ultimately contributing to a more competent and well-coordinated care team in Ewing sarcoma.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify early manifestations of Ewing sarcoma, distinguishing them from common bone pathologies in adolescents.

  • Differentiate between localized and metastatic Ewing sarcoma through comprehensive diagnostic evaluation.

  • Implement evidence-based treatment strategies for localized Ewing sarcoma, considering multiagent adjuvant chemotherapy and local therapy.

  • Coordinate an interprofessional team approach to promptly evaluate and treat Ewing sarcoma to improve patient outcomes and minimize morbidity.
