Video: Texas Children's Faris D. Virani Ewing Sarcoma Center Q&A

Texas Children’s Cancer Center has a first-of-its-kind center dedicated to perform state-of-the-art basic, translational and clinical research as well as provide the best care and management for patients diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma.  The Faris D. Virani Ewing Sarcoma Center was established in February 2014 through the vision and generosity of Dr. Asha and Mr. Farid Virani in honor of their son Faris Deedar Virani, who was diagnosed and is being treated for Ewing sarcoma. While rare, Ewing sarcoma is the second most common bone tumor in the pediatric population. It is often a very aggressive cancer that most frequently affects the hip, legs, chest and arms. In the United States approximately 250 children are diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma each year. Texas Children’s alone receives approximately 8-12 new diagnoses of Ewing sarcoma each year. In addition to treating patients with Ewing sarcoma, the center also has a strong emphasis on research. We firmly believe that the breakthrough discoveries that take place in the laboratories of the center will exemplify the future of Ewing sarcoma treatment and the best hope for children with this disease.
