In November 2023, the charity race L’Arriarem, organized by the family of Marc Riera i Castellà in his memory, raised over €96,000. Thanks to this momentum and all subsequent donations, €101,338 has been raised to date.
These donations have enabled the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) to create a new line of research, led by Dr. Raúl Terés, Dr. Ana Sebio, and Dr. María Aguado, researchers from the Clinical Oncology Group, to study the effects of treatments on the quality of life of patients with Ewing sarcoma.
Until now, research on this type of cancer has mainly focused on determining the most effective therapeutic options and seeking new treatments to improve prognosis. However, the impact on patients’ quality of life is not as well understood, which limits the ability of healthcare systems to prevent and minimize these negative effects.
One of the first projects to be launched within this new research line will specifically analyze the effects of treatments for Ewing sarcoma on patients’ quality of life—covering physical, psychological, functional, occupational, economic, social, and reproductive aspects, among others.
Donations for Ewing Sarcoma research are being collected through the following page.
The goal is to reach €150,000, and all funds will be entirely dedicated to driving this new line of research on the impact of treatments on the quality of life of patients with Ewing sarcoma, with the aim of improving their comprehensive care and future.
