- Abstract:
- Because of the enormous progress in surgery in the treatment of patients with tumors, the current study analyzed the influence of wide surgical resection margins on the outcome of patients with Ewing's sarcoma. Between 1980 and 1994, 86 patients were treated with systemic therapy and surgery (biopsy in six patients, tumor resection in 80 patients). Forty-four patients also had radiation therapy. The 5-year overall survival was 56.8% (5-year disease-free survival, 59.4%). The 5-year overall survival after radical or wide resection was 60.2% (5-year disease-free survival, 58.2%), in comparison with 40.1% (46.7%) after marginal or intralesional resection. Two patients with inadequate resection margins had local recurrences. In addition to the influence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for higher survival rates (5-year overall survival with a good response was 80.2% versus 41.7% with a poor response), adequate surgical margins significantly affect the outcome for patients with Ewing's sarcoma.
