Abstract :

Due to limited clinical data in paediatric Ewing�s sarcoma, the aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic characteristics and identifying prognostic factors for survival. We retrospectively reviewed 66 patients with paediatric Ewing�s sarcoma. Median age of presentation was 10 years. Male: Female ratio was 1:1.Femur was the most common site of involvement 13.6% (9/66). The median survival in this study was 52 months. Three and five year survival rate of these patients was 52% and 45% respectively. One out of the 7 patients (14.2%) who did not initiate treatment was alive at the time of analysis whereas 4 out of 8 (50%) patients were alive with incomplete treatment and 35 out of 51 patients (68.6%) were alive who completed treatment and this difference was statistically significant (p<.001).Those patients who completed the treatment protocol had a better survival as compared to those who defaulted or refused treatment.
