Bone Marrow Transplant for Pediatric Ewing Sarcoma

Sheba Medical Center – Advanced, Personalized Transplant Care for Children

At Sheba Medical Center, we understand how overwhelming it can be for families to face a diagnosis of Ewing Sarcoma. This rare and aggressive childhood cancer requires highly specialized care, precision treatment, and a deeply supportive environment for both the child and their family.

For children with high-risk, recurrent, or treatment-resistant Ewing Sarcoma, bone marrow transplantation (BMT) may be considered as part of an advanced treatment strategy, offering a powerful approach aimed at improving long-term outcomes.

Our pediatric transplant program combines world-class expertise, innovative therapies, and compassionate, family-centered care at every stage of the journey.

When is a Bone Marrow Transplant Needed?

Bone marrow transplantation is not part of standard treatment for all children with Ewing Sarcoma, but may be recommended in specific situations, including:

High-risk disease, particularly with spread beyond the primary tumor
Relapsed Ewing Sarcoma, when the disease returns after initial treatment
Refractory disease, when standard therapies are not sufficient

In these cases, BMT allows the use of high-dose chemotherapy to target cancer cells, followed by the infusion of healthy stem cells to restore the bone marrow and immune system.

Types of Transplant

Autologous Transplant (Child’s Own Cells)

This is the most commonly used transplant approach in Ewing Sarcoma when BMT is indicated.

Stem cells are collected from the child in advance
Intensive therapy is administered to eliminate cancer cells
The child’s own stem cells are reinfused to support recovery

This approach enables the safe delivery of higher-intensity treatment.

Allogeneic Transplant (Donor Cells)

In carefully selected cases, Sheba Medical Center also offers allogeneic (donor) transplantation as part of a comprehensive treatment strategy.

This option may be considered for:

Children who require an alternative stem cell source
Situations where an additional immune-based approach may be beneficial

Donor options at Sheba include:

Matched sibling donors
Matched unrelated donors through international registries
Haploidentical (half-matched) family donors

A key advantage of donor transplantation is the graft-versus-tumor effect, where the new immune system may help recognize and target remaining cancer cells.

Precision Matching and Advanced Technology

Sheba Medical Center utilizes an advanced on-site HLA laboratory to perform high-resolution genetic matching, ensuring the best possible compatibility between donor and child.

This precision supports safer transplantation and optimal outcomes.
