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.
Ewing's sarcoma staging
- Stage II - high grade lesions, such as Ewing's sarcomas[1]
- 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.
