Comprehensive radiotherapy for pediatric Ewing Sarcoma: Outcomes of a prospective proton study

Patients with Ewing sarcoma (EWS) are treated with combination therapy, which includes radiation therapy (RT) as a treatment option for the primary tumor site (local control). Historically, the best local control (LC) outcomes have been achieved with surgery alone or combination of surgery with adjuvant RT for patients with high risk factors such as positive tumor margins after surgery or poor response to adjuvant/ induction chemotherapy. Definitive RT is often reserved for large tumors in anatomical locations where surgical resection is considered to be too morbid [1 –3].
