Localized Ewing Family of Tumors

Treatment of localized Ewing family of tumors may include the following:

• Combination chemotherapy followed by surgery and/or radiation therapy.
• A clinical trial testing different drugs, doses, and treatment schedules.

This summary section refers to specific treatments under study in clinical trials, but it may not mention every new treatment being studied. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

Check for clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with localized Ewing sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor.

Treatment of metastatic Ewing family of tumors may include the following:

• Combination chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy to the area where the tumor first formed and the places where the tumor has spread.
• A clinical trial of chemotherapy with either stem cell transplant or radiation therapy, for tumors that have spread to the lungs.
• A clinical trial of combination chemotherapy plus an angiogenesis inhibitor (a drug that blocks the growth of new blood vessels to the tumor).

This summary section refers to specific treatments under study in clinical trials, but it may not mention every new treatment being studied. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

Check for clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with metastatic Ewing sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor.

Treatment of recurrent Ewing family of tumors may include the following:

• Surgery followed by combination chemotherapy.
• Combination chemotherapy.
• High-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant using the patient's stem cells.
• Radiation therapy or surgery to remove bone tumors, as palliative therapy to reduce symptoms and improve the quality of life.
• Radiation therapy followed by surgery to remove tumors that have spread to the lungs.
• A clinical trial of a new treatment.

Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
