Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ewing sarcomas of the axial skeleton represent a notable challenge for clinicians because of their aggressive presentation and tendency to obstruct neurovascular structures; however, little data exist regarding axial tumors in children. This study is the first population-based analysis assessing treatment regimens for axial Ewing sarcomas and their effects on cancer-specific survival and overall survival (OS). METHODS Data from 2004 to 2019 were collected for all patients aged 1 to 24 years from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Primary groups included pelvic tumors, thoracic tumors, and vertebral tumors. Chi-squared and Kaplan-Meier tests were used to assess associations between demographic variables, clinical and treatment characteristics, and patient survival. RESULTS Pelvic tumors were most common, and 49.7% received chemotherapy/radiation. Vertebral tumors were least common, and 56.7% received chemotherapy/surgery/radiation. 53.5% of thoracic tumors received chemotherapy/surgery. Surgery was most common for thoracic tumors (80.2%) and rare for pelvic tumors (38.9%). Radiation therapy was most common for vertebral tumors (83.6%) and least common for thoracic tumors (36.0%). Pelvic tumors exhibited the lowest OS (1-year, 5-year, and 10-year OS: 96%, 70%, and 59%), followed by thoracic tumors (1-year, 5-year, and 10-year OS: 97%, 79%, and 66%) and vertebral tumors (1-year, 5-year, and 10-year OS: 92%, 77%, and 68%). CONCLUSION This study underpins the importance of both early detection and chemotherapy-based multimodal therapy in the treatment of axial Ewing sarcoma in a pediatric population. A comparatively large decline in OS was observed between 5 and 10 years for patients with thoracic tumors, and this cohort's 10-year OS has not improved when compared with a similar SEER cohort from 1973 to 2011. Despite a growing body of research supporting definitive radiation therapy, a notable portion of patients with pelvic Ewing sarcoma did not receive radiation, representing an unmet need for this population.

A Single-center Experience of Radiotherapy in Pediatric Ewing Sarcoma/Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor of the Chest Wall. J Pediatr Hematol Oncol 2024; 46:197-205. [PMID: 38572993 DOI: 10.1097/mph.0000000000002851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the treatment results, prognostic parameters, and treatment-related toxicity in patients with Ewing sarcoma (ES)/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of the chest wall who underwent surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy (RT) in a tertiary referral center. METHODS The data of 24 patients under 18 years of age with a histologic diagnosis of ES/PNET in the chest wall that received RT in our department between February 2003 and July 2020 were retrospectively evaluated. RT was applied to the primary site±whole involved chest wall and to the whole lung in patients with lung metastasis. RESULTS The median age was 8.5 years (range: 1.5 to 17 y), 15 (63%) patients were female and 9 were male (37%). The tumor localization was extrathoracic in 18 (75%) and intrathoracic in 6 (25%) patients. Mediastinal lymph node and distant metastasis (DM) was present in 5 (21%) and 4 (16%) cases at diagnosis, respectively. The median follow-up after RT was 47 months (range: 11 to 162 mo). The 2-year and 5-year overall survival, event-free survival, local recurrence-free survival, and pleural recurrence-free survival were 83% and 48%, 48% and 42%, 74% and 48%, and 61% and 52%, respectively. The overall local control rate was 83% and the pleural control rate was 67%. RT was well tolerated, with 1 case of grade 3 acute dermatitis and 1 case of grade 3 subacute radiation pneumonitis. Late toxicity was observed in 3 (13%) cases. CONCLUSION Long-term survival can be achieved with extended-field RT even in patients with ES/PNET of the chest wall with DM. The low toxicity rates allow us to draw the conclusion that RT with modern techniques is an effective and safe treatment modality for these patients.

Abstract
Ewing's sarcoma, characterized by small round cell morphology, is a rare malignancy, with mediastinal Ewing's sarcoma being even less common. This case describes a distinctive presentation of primary mediastinal Ewing's sarcoma in a 32-year-old male presenting with sudden and severe chest pain. Initial evaluation excluded cardiac and pulmonary emergencies, revealing a posterior mediastinal mass through advanced imaging. The patient's clinical symptoms significantly improved following the complete resection of the tumor via thoracoscopy. Subsequent analysis incorporating imaging, histological, immunohistochemical and genetic findings led to the conclusive diagnosis of primary mediastinal Ewing's sarcoma.

Abstract
Background This study aims to determine the thoracic surgery techniques, surgical indications, the role and effectiveness of surgical treatment in multimodal treatment applied to pediatric Ewing sarcoma patients. Methods Between A pril 2004 a nd November 2020, a total of 15 pediatric patients ( 9 males, 6 females; mean age: 10.1±4.5 years; range, 3 to 18 years) who were diagnosed with primary thoracic Ewing sarcoma and operated were retrospectively analyzed. Tumor-related factors and treatment modalities for Ewing sarcoma originating from the chest wall and mediastinum were examined. Results The most common complaint was pain in nine patients. While the tumor originated from the ribs in nine patients, it originated from the soft tissue (n=2), mediastinum (n=2), and extra-thoracic tissue (n=2) in six patients. Complete resection was achieved in 10 patients. While neoadjuvant chemotherapy was applied to eight patients, chemotherapy and radiotherapy was applied to 14 and five patients, respectively. Bone marrow transplantation was performed in one patient. The mean follow-up was 54.2±44.9 months. Recurrence was seen in six patients in a mean duration of 17.8±7.4 months. Conclusion The most effective treatment for thoracic Ewing sarcoma is complete resection. Multimodal therapy in the form of surgical resection, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy provides optimal efficacy and the most favorable survival. The follow-up period should be kept short, since recurrences are common.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of tumor characteristics and treatment approach on (1) local recurrence, (2) scoliosis development, and (3) patient-reported quality of life in children with sarcoma of the chest wall. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Children with chest wall sarcoma require multimodal therapy including chemotherapy, surgery, and/or radiation. Despite aggressive therapy which places them at risk for functional impairment and scoliosis, these patients are also at significant risk for local recurrence. METHODS A multi-institutional review of 175 children (median age 13 years) with chest wall sarcoma treated at seventeen Pediatric Surgical Oncology Research Collaborative institutions between 2008 and 2017 was performed. Patient-reported quality of life was assessed prospectively using PROMIS surveys. RESULTS The most common diagnoses were Ewing sarcoma (67%) and osteosarcoma (9%). Surgical resection was performed in 85% and radiation in 55%. A median of 2 ribs were resected (interquartile range = 1-3), and number of ribs resected did not correlate with margin status ( P = 0.36). Local recurrence occurred in 23% and margin status was the only predictive factor(HR 2.24, P = 0.039). With a median follow-up of 5 years, 13% developed scoliosis (median Cobb angle 26) and 5% required corrective spine surgery. Scoliosis was associated with posteriorrib resection (HR 8.43; P= 0.003) and increased number of ribs resected (HR 1.78; P = 0.02). Overall, patient-reported quality of life is not impaired after chest wall tumor resection. CONCLUSIONS Local recurrence occurs in one-quarter of children with chest wall sarcoma and is independent of tumor type. Scoliosis occurs in 13% of patients, but patient-reported quality of life is excellent.

Abstract
A 24-year-old male patient was admitted to our center complaining of dizziness (superior vena cava syndrome [SVCS]), dysphagia and pain in the right chest wall. At the initial diagnosis, the patient had been found to have an irregular shaped 35 × 30 × 27 cm mass in the right side of his chest. On November 12, 2019, this patient received surgery in our center. The right sixth rib and the tumor were completely removed (R0), while preserving all the lung tissue and other organs in the chest. The patient recovered well after surgery, and his right lung was fully expanded.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ewing sarcomas (ESs) are highly aggressive malignancy and are predominant in the long bones of extremities of children and young adults with a slight male predilection and rarely presents at extra skeletal locations.
CASE SUMMARY A 55-year-old woman came to our hospital after finding elevated tumor biomarkers during her physical examination. Her enhanced computed tomography scan showed a jejunal mass. The patient underwent laparoscopic enterectomy. The mass was later diagnosed as ES, evidenced by fluorescence in situ hybridization whereby the GLP ES breakpoint region 1 probe was used, showing that more than 10% of the cells showed a red-green-yellow signal proving the breakpoint rearrangement of the ES breakpoint region 1 gene in chromosome 22.
CONCLUSION We describe a case of localized ES at the jejunum in China based on the literature.

Abstract
PURPOSE Was to evaluate the outcome of multimodality treatment in resectable primary Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor ES/PNET of the ribs and role of thoracoscopy in facilitating resection of these tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study including 22 patients with primary ES/PNET of the ribs surgically treated at Children's Cancer Hospital Egypt (CCHE) between January 2008 until the end of December 2014. RESULTS Median age was 8.5years (range 5months to 16years.). All patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Thoracoscopic exploration was performed in 15 (68%) patients. Resection included 1,2,3 and 4 ribs in (7,4,8 and 3 patients) respectively, parts of the diaphragm (3 patients), wedge resection of the lung (10 patients) and pleural nodules (2 patients). Primary closure was feasible in 11 patients and rib transposition was done in one patient. Reconstruction by proline mesh covered by muscle flap was done in 10 patients. Margins were microscopically positive in 3 patients and close in 2 patients. Postoperative radiotherapy was given in 8 patients. With a median follow-up of 38.5months, the 3-year event -free survival (EFS) and overall survival(OS) rates were 31.6% and 55.6%, respectively. CONCLUSION Multimodality treatment is essential in the management of ES-PNET of the ribs. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy facilitates adequate resection. The role of thoracoscopy and the indications of postoperative radiotherapy need further evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The globally low incidence of pediatric chest wall Ewing sarcoma (CWES) has limited prior studies of this disease to mostly small, single-institution reviews. Our objective was to assess incidence, demographics, treatment patterns, and long-term survival of this disease through a population-based analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was used to identify patients aged 0-21 y diagnosed with CWES from 1973 to 2011. Patients were grouped by decade to assess changes in treatment patterns and outcomes. The effects of clinical, demographic, and treatment variables on overall survival (OS) were assessed by the computation of Kaplan-Meier curves and the log-rank test, with Cox proportional hazard regression used for multivariable analysis. RESULTS A total of 193 pediatric patients with histologically confirmed CWES were identified. The disease was more common in men (61%), whites (92%), and 11- to 17-y olds (49%). It was metastatic at presentation in 37% of patients. When grouped approximately by decade, 10-y OS improved progressively from 38% in 1973-1979 to 65% in 2000-2011 (P = 0.033). The use of radiation decreased from 84% in the earliest period to 40% in the most recent, whereas the proportion of patients receiving surgery increased from 75% to 85%. When controlling for covariates in multivariable analysis, male patients were found to have a higher mortality than female patients (hazard ratio: 2.4; confidence interval: 1.4, 4.4; P = 0.0028). CONCLUSIONS This population-based analysis of CWES demonstrated an impressive trend of improving OS, with increasing use of surgery and decreasing use of radiation therapy. Our study demonstrated a gender difference in survival of CWES, with females having a better prognosis. The presence of metastatic disease is a very important prognostic factor for this illness.

Surgical Approach to Primary Tumors of the Chest Wall in Children and Adolescents: 30 Years of Mono-Institutional Experience. TUMORI JOURNAL 2015; 102:89-95.

Abstract
Aims and background Chest wall reconstruction after surgical resection for malignancies in children is a challenge for surgeons because of growth-related complications. The aim of this study is to analyze the surgical treatment and outcomes of 30 pediatric and adolescent patients treated at Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milan, Italy, over a 30-year period. Methods Pediatric patients undergoing chest wall resection were retrospectively reviewed and selected for malignant primary tumor. Endpoints were survival, recurrences, and long-term results. We also reported the use of the innovative rib-like technique in 2 young patients. Results Twenty-one patients were male. Median age was 13.7 years. Eleven patients (37%) presented with a chest wall mass. Twenty-six (87%) had Ewing sarcoma family tumors. Twenty-eight (94%) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy after histologic diagnosis. One rib was resected in 13 cases; 2 or 3 contiguous ribs in 8 cases. No postoperative mortality was observed and the complication rate was 40%. Overall survival was 85.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] 65.2%-94.2%) at 5 and 10 years. Relapse occurred in 7 patients. The 5-year disease-free survival rate was 82% (95% CI 62%-92%). Conclusions Long-term survival is achievable for chest wall tumors in a high-volume referral center where a multimodal treatment should be set to reach the best result. As advances in medical treatment have increased survival, surgical techniques must ensure a lasting functional result. When refining the reconstruction techniques, such as the rib-like approach, it is necessary to expand the options of curative surgery for young patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on thoracic primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) treated with a uniform chemotherapy protocol are minimal in the literature. We analyzed patients with thoracic PNET for outcome and prognostic factors. METHODS This is a single-institutional data review of patients treated between June 2003 and November 2011 with uniform neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgical intervention, or radiotherapy (RT), or a combination of these treatments as local therapy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. RESULTS Thoracic PNET was found in 84 of 374 (22%) patients with PNET with a median age of 15 years (range, 3-40 years); 27 (32%) of these patients had metastases. Thirty patients underwent surgical resection; 27 patients received radical RT after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The radical RT group did not have adverse tumor characteristics or poor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. At median follow-up of 20.8 months (range, 2-104.6 months), 5-year event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), and local control rate (LCR) were 24.4% ± 5.9%, 47.9% ± 8.4%, and 59.3% ± 9%, respectively, for the entire cohort, and 31% ± 7.7%, 59% ± 10.4%, and 67% ± 9.7%, respectively, for the group with localized tumors. In multivariate analysis, symptom duration longer than 4 months (p = 0.03), primary tumor of skeletal origin (p = 0.03), and radical RT (p = 0.006) predicted inferior EFS in the entire cohort and those with localized disease; metastatic disease (p = 0.002) predicted inferior OS. Radical RT predicted inferior LCR in the entire cohort and the group with localized tumor; tumor diameter larger than 8 cm (p = 0.02) and symptom duration longer than 4 months (p = 0.02) predicted inferior LCR in the group with localized tumor. CONCLUSIONS This is a single-institutional experience of 84 patients with thoracic PNETs who underwent a uniform chemotherapy protocol. Novel prognostic factors were identified for thoracic PNET. All efforts should be made to resect primary tumor after neoadjuvant chemotherapy because radical RT results in inferior EFS and LCR despite good response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
