Approximately half of all people with Ewing’s sarcoma of bone are under 15 years of age at diagnosis. However, it is also common in young adults. The peak ages are between 10 and 20. It is less common before the age of 5 and after the age of 30. Sometimes young adults may be treated by a “paediatric” oncologist because of the doctor’s experience with treating this type of cancer.
