[Treatment of pelvic Ewing's sarcoma in children and the effect on the skeletal growth and development].
To explore the effect of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and computer-assisted surgery on children and adolescents with primary pelvic Ewing's sarcoma, and assess the therapeutic effect on the pelvic skeletal growth and development. ⋯ The comprehensive treatment including neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, resection-reconstruction surgery and postoperative chemoradiotherapy may give a good control to primary pelvic Ewing's sarcomas in children and adolescents. The computer-assisted surgery used for accurate tumor resection and pelvic reconstruction is a good alternative when treating young patients with malignant pelvic tumors. The triradiate cartilage in children's acetabulum could be a natural barrier resistant to the invasion of Ewing's sarcomas.
