Abstract EN
Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is a rare tumor that is most common in children and young adults.
Late effects of ES therapy include second cancers, a tragic outcome for survivors of such a young age.
This paper will explore the frequencies and types of malignancies that occur after ES.
Additionally, it will review how second malignancies have changed with the shift in treatment from high-dose radiation to chemotherapy regimens including alkylators and epipodophyllotoxins.
The risk of additional cancers in ES survivors will also be compared to survivors of other childhood cancers.
Finally, the possible genetic contribution to ES and second malignancies will be discussed.
