Outcome after relapse in an unselected cohort of children and adolescents with Ewing sarcoma.
Survival after relapse in patients with Ewing sarcoma is very poor and this retrospective study attempts to identify of prognostic factors predicting survival after relapse. ⋯ These data suggest that although aggressive therapy may delay disease progression after relapse for some children, the course of the disease after relapse is usually fatal. International co-operative studies are needed to evaluate new strategies.
