No uniform staging system.
The AJCC staging systems for bone or soft-tissue
sarcomas may be used.
Primary tumor (T)
TX Primary tumor cannot be assessed
T0 No evidence of primary tumor
T1 Tumor 8 cm or less in greatest dimension
T2 Tumor more than 8 cm in greatest dimension
T3 Discontinuous tumors in the primary bone site
Regional lymph nodes (N)
NX Regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed
N0 No regional lymph node metastasis
N1 Regional lymph node metastasis
Note: Because of the rarity of lymph node involvement in bone sarcomas, the
designation NX may not be appropriate and cases should be considered N0 unless
clinical node involvement is clearly evident.

newer technique Under evaluation to detect ◦ local and distal extent, ◦ Predictor of outcome and recurrence
Laboratory tests: ◦ CBC, Alkaline phosphatase, liver/kidney function tests,
◦ LDH:
useful as gauge of tumor burden
Falls with effective therapy and rises with disease recurrence
Multidisciplinary approach
◦ Chemotherapy: control of micrometasis
◦ Surgery: local control where possible
◦ Radiotherapy: local control where surgery not
possible or incomplete
24
Effective local and systemic chemotherapy
necessary for cure.
Induction chemotherapy preferred over starting
the systemic and local therapy
Advantage of this approach:◦ Evaluation of effectiveness of the regimen
◦ Decreases the vol. of local therapy for surgery or RT
◦ Some bone healing occurs during CT, diminish the risk of
pathological fracture
All patients require chemotherapy◦ Induction chemotherapy
◦ Maintenance chemotherapy
Effective chemotherapy has improved local
control rates achieved with radiation to 85-90%
26
First Line therapy:◦ VAC/IE
Vincristine 2.0 mg/m2 on D1
Adriamycin 75 mg/m2 on D1
Cyclophosphamide 1.2 gm/m2 on D1
Ifosphamide 1.8 gm/m2 on D1-5
Etoposide 100 mg/m2 on D1-5
◦ **Substitute adriamycin with dactinomycin (1.2 mg/m2 on D1) after
375 mg/m2
◦ VAI (Vincristine, Adriamycin, Ifosphamide)
◦ VIDE ( Vincristine, ifosphamide, Doxorubicin, Etoposide)
27
Cyclophosphamide (250 mg/m2)and
topotecan(0.75 mg/m2) D1-D5
Temozolomide and irinotecan
Ifosfamide and etoposide
Ifosfamide ,etoposide and carboplatin
Docetaxel and gemcitabine
IESS-1and IESS-2 showed 4 drug regimen VACD is superior to 3
drug VAC in terms of RFS and OS.
INT-OO91:Adding IE improved 5-year OS (61→72%) for localized
disease, but not for metastatic disease (25%).
Induction Multiagent chemotherapy for at least 12-
24 weeks prior to local therapy.
Maintenance (adjuvant chemotherapy) with or
without Radiotherapy is recommended following
local control treatment and the duration of
chemotherapy should be between 28-49 weeks.

Development of Innovative Surgical Techniques:
Limb preservation & Structural bone function
preservation
Chemo - cytoreduction makes resection
possible
Local failure rates with RT in historical series :
9 - 25% *
Concern over second malignancies
* Horonitz et al, Pediatr Clin Nor Am, 1991
33
Surgical Indications◦ Expendable bone (fibula, rib, clavicle)
◦ Bone defect able to be reconstructed with modest loss of function
◦ May consider amputation if considerable growth remaining
◦ After pre-op RT
Limb-salvage surgery is preffered.
Curative surgery requires wide local excision and negative
margin◦ Bony margins of at least 1 cm, with a 2 to 5 cm margin recommend.
◦ Soft tissue at least 5mm in fat or muscle , with 2mm through fascial
planes.

radiation responsive tumor.
There are no randomized trials that have directly compared Radiotherapy to surgery for local control of Ewing’s sarcoma.
Radiotherapy can, in combination with chemotherapy, achieve local control, but complete surgery when feasible has to be regarded as the first choice of local therapy.**

encompassing the entire length of the medullary cavity
for a tumor involving the proximal left humerus. (B)
Tailored field encompassing only the proximal aspect of
the leg for a limited tumor of the left tibia.
Definitive Radiation Therapy:
◦ Tumors where Resection is Impossible ◦ For skull, face, vertebra, or pelvic primary◦ where only an intra-lesional resection is achievable◦ Patient with poor Surgical risk◦ Patient refusing surgery
Note: Surgery is the preferred arm where wide or marginal resection is possible
39
Pre-operative Radiation Therapy
◦ Indicated when narrow resection margins are expected
◦ Principle :
To sterilize the tumor compartment before surgery & to
potentially reduce the risk of dissemination during surgery
◦ Local recurrence with pre-op RT
<5%
EI-CESS-92 : Schuck et al – IJROBP-1998 & 2003
40
Post-operative Radiation Therapy
◦ For gross or microscopic positive margin◦ For marginal Resection◦ For wide-resection with Poor Histological response to Neo-
adjuvant Chemotherapy
(>10% viable tumor cells in the specimen)
Based on CESS-81, CESS-86, EICESS-92 Studies : Schuck et al,IJROBP-1998 & 2003
41
For rib primary ,with pleural effusion, RT to hemithorax
For lung mets ,whole lung RT(15-18 Gy) or consider resection if< 4 mets.
Pain palliation– advanced disease.
Isolated bone secondaries.
42
• Every 2- 3 months
• Increase interval after 24 months
• Annually after 5 years indefinitely
Physical Exam, Local and Chest Imaging:
CBC and other lab studies as indicated
Consider Bone Scan or Pet scan
43
30-40% of patients develop relapse with <20%
survival
Early relapse – less than 2 years: Consider Changing Chemotherapy
Late relapse – more than 2 years: Continue the previously used chemotherapy
44
Functional results : Of all the patient’s treatedwith RT◦ 60 % have good functional activity◦ 20 % have mild morbidities◦ 20 % have significant morbidities
Risk for Post treatment Fractures Lymphedema Dermatitis; recall reaction may occur with doxo,
dactinomycin. Adriamycin cardiomyopathy. Ifosphamide renal toxicity.
45
Second malignancy after RT◦ Cumulative risk at 15yrs = 6 – 6.7%
( CESS-81 & CESS-86; IJROBP:1997; 39)
◦ No secondary sarcomas seen at doses <48 Gy
( Kutterch et al; JCO:1996, 14 )
◦ Risk increased by anthracycline and alkylating agent chemotherapy
◦ Osteosarcoma most common.
◦ Leukemia can also occur.
46
Use of 3D-CRT / IMRT as a standard protocol
Incorporation of functional imaging modalities e.g. PET-CT / PET-MRI for Target Volume delineation, Boost treatment and IMRT
TARGATED therapy :Molecular agents like Apoptosis directed targeted therapies e.g. TRAIL therapy (TNF Related Apoptosis Inducing Ligand),anti IGF-1R antibodies…etc

Second most common childhood bone tumor. Small round cell tumor with CD99 (MIC2), PAS
positive Lytic lesion with onion peel appearance on X-Ray Overall survival with localized disease (55%) and
metastatic disease 22% Multimodal treatment approach Induction Chemotherapy for 3-6 cycles and another 6-
10 cycles for maintenance. Surgery when feasible first choice of local therapy Radiation responsive tumor There are no randomized trials that have directely
compared Radiotherapy to surgery for local control of Ewing’s sarcoma.
