Abstract
Ewing's sarcoma is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor
of children. Tremendous strides in the multidisciplinary treatment of

motherapy has increased the 5-year survival rates from 10% to over 70%
. The role of surgery for local control has gained importance. These a
dvances in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of Ewing's sarcoma ar
e discussed in detail.
