Mayo Clinic is a member of the Children's Oncology Group. This national consortium of cancer centers establishes effective treatment approaches for treating pediatric Ewing sarcomas. Specialists at Mayo Clinic are among the nation's leading cancer researchers and develop protocols that become standard procedures.
