EURO EWING Consortium – International Clinical Trials to Improve Survival from Ewing Sarcoma (EEC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

Ewing Sarcomas (ES) are fatal, rare bone cancers particularly affecting young people. About 60% of patients achieve long term survival with current treatment but there has been no improvement in this proportion for 25 years. Treatment is unsuccessful because chemotherapy fails to prevent the development of, or to effectively treat established, metastases. In addition, of the 600 new cases of ES o ...
