A link to a list of current clinical trials is included for each treatment section. For some types or stages of cancer, there may not be any trials listed. Check with your doctor for clinical trials that are not listed here but may be right for you.

Treatment of localized Ewing sarcoma family of tumors may include combination chemotherapy followed by surgery and/or radiation therapy.

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with localized Ewing sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

Treatment of metastatic Ewing sarcoma family of tumors may include the following:

• Combination chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy to the area where the tumor first formed and the places where the tumor has spread.
• A clinical trial of chemotherapy with either stem cell transplant or radiation therapy, for tumors that have spread to the lungs.

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with metastatic Ewing sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

Treatment of recurrent Ewing sarcoma family of tumors may include the following:

• Surgery followed by combination chemotherapy.
• Combination chemotherapy.
• High-dose chemotherapy and sometimes a stem cell transplant using the patient's stem cells.
• Radiation therapy or surgery to remove bone tumors, as palliative therapy to reduce symptoms and improve the quality of life.
• Radiation therapy followed by surgery to remove tumors that have spread to the lungs.
• A clinical trial of a monoclonal antibody (a cancer treatment that uses antibodies made from a single type of immune system cell) .

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with recurrent Ewing sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug.
