description

Ewing’s sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) is a family of small round cell sarcomas with specific molecular alterations showing a spectrum of neuroectodermal differentiation. There is a slightly greater incidence in males than females. The first two decades of life account for 80 % of patients (age at diagnosis ranges from 13 to 19 years), being more uncommon in adults and elderly patients and more frequent in white (Caucasian) people.
