Lung irradiation for Ewing's sarcoma with pulmonary metastases at diagnosis: results of the CESS-studies.
In the German CESS-studies, Ewing's sarcoma patients with pulmonary metastases at diagnosis were considered as candidates for additional bilateral lung irradiation. We have retrospectively analyzed the impact of radiotherapy on survival. ⋯ In this retrospective analysis, lung irradiation was beneficial in terms of improved survival of patients with pulmonary metastases of Ewing's sarcoma. We actually recommend lung irradiation with 18 (to 20) Gy for pulmonary metastases of Ewing's sarcoma.
