Ewing Sarcoma – Symptoms & Causes

Radiation Exposure

Previous exposures to high doses of radiation in radiotherapy might lead to several cancerous changes in the bone cells. Even though this is a small risk, it would occur at later stages. The possibility is especially during childhood. While a typical X-ray is harmless, higher doses over 60 Gy would increase the risk. Direct exposures to sunlight can also bring the same effects. You should also be careful with radon gas in working areas and surroundings. This substance might be present inside your house or in the soil. [9]
