Changes in Incidence and Survival of Ewing Sarcoma Patients Over the Past 3 Decades

Abstract

The incidence of ES has not increased appreciably over the last 30 years. A marked decrease in the proportion of unstaged cases may be reflective of diagnostic improvement or changes in reporting. There is a clear improvement in survival for both localized and metastatic disease. Poorer outcome of metastatic patients still warrants intensification of therapy, which is currently being tested in several ongoing trials.
