[Argument for the multidisciplinary treatment of Ewing sarcoma with surgery]

The authors summarize the literature on the local treatment of Ewing's sarcoma. They remind us that including surgery in local treatment increases disease free survival rate by 20-25% while it reduces functional sequelae and radioinduced sarcoma risk. They underline the major interest of histologic examination of in bloc resected tumor to guide postoperative chemotherapy. They advocate that local treatment of Ewing's sarcoma should always be surgical and conservative with the help when necessary of massive homograft and lengthening prosthesis.
