Radiation before surgery for Ewing sarcoma
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests giving radiation therapy before surgery to treat Ewing sarcoma, a bone cancer that's hard to remove completely. The goal is to shrink the tumor first, then remove it surgically, to improve outcomes for patients with high-risk disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 55 or younger
- Confirmed Ewing sarcoma diagnosis with specific gene changes (EWSR1 or FUS rearrangement)
- Tumor is in a location where doctors say surgery alone wouldn't remove enough tissue safely
- Good overall health (able to do light activities)
- Expected to live at least 3 months
- Able to receive radiation therapy and cooperate with treatment

This trial tests an experimental drug, KC1036, for adolescents with advanced Ewing sarcoma that has not responded to other treatments. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer.
This trial tests a personalized radiation therapy that adjusts the dose based on your tumor. It aims to improve treatment for Ewing sarcoma while limiting side effects.
This trial tests new drugs for young people with Ewing sarcoma or similar sarcomas that have come back or not responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink or control the cancer.
This study looks at past patient records to understand what factors affect outcomes and how radiation therapy (high-energy beams to kill cancer cells) helps people with Ewing sarcoma. If you were treated for this bone cancer in the past, your data could help improve treatment for others.
This trial tests if giving a short course of radiation therapy combined with immunotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with soft tissue sarcoma in the belly or pelvis. It is for patients whose tumors are hard to remove completely without this pre-treatment.
This trial tests giving a shorter, lower-dose radiation treatment before surgery for a retroperitoneal (deep belly/back space) soft-tissue sarcoma. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor and make surgery more effective and safe.
