Research Funded in Part by Rally Could Guide Future Treatment in Ewing Sarcoma

Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research helped fund a new Dana-Farber study that found a simple blood test at diagnosis may help doctors gauge risk in Ewing sarcoma. The test could also guide how much treatment each patient needs, which may mean less intensive therapy and fewer long-term side effects for some kids. The work was supported in part by a Rally Foundation Research Grant to Dr. Brian Crompton.
