 ==Overview==
-Staging for cancers in general follows as similar pattern. There are stages I - IV and there are subsections of each stage. Staging for specific cancers have specific staging criteria.
+There is no established system for the staging of Ewing sarcoma.
 ==Ewing's sarcoma staging==
-*Stage II - high grade [[lesions]], such as Ewing's sarcomas<ref name="pmid17272319">{{cite journal |author=Iwamoto Y |title=Diagnosis and treatment of Ewing's sarcoma |journal=[[Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology]] |volume=37 |issue=2 |pages=79–89 |year=2007 |month=February |pmid=17272319 |doi=10.1093/jjco/hyl142 |url=http://jjco.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=17272319 |accessdate=2011-12-23}}</ref>
+There is no established system for the staging of Ewing sarcoma.
-**Stage IIA - Lesions that are self contained in a well defined anatomical compartment
-**Stage IIB - Lesions that extend beyond their initial compartment
-*Stage III - This includes any lesion that has [[metastasized]] regardless of its size. When discovered, most Ewing's sarcoma lesions fall into the stage II or stage III categories.
-While staging tests are being performed, a [[CT scan]] of the chest should be completed. This will help determine if the cancer has metastasized to the lungs of the patient.
