Two Regimens of Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Younger Patients With Newly Diagnosed Localized Ewing Sarcoma Family of Tumors
This clinical trial is studying the side effects of combination chemotherapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed localized Ewing sarcoma family of tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving the drugs in different ways may kill more tumor cells.
Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.

surgery and incompletely resected disease is controlled by local therapy

- Chest wall tumors with ipsilateral pleural effusions, ipsilateral positive
pleural fluid cytology, or ipsilateral pleural based secondary tumor nodules;
- No contralateral pleural effusions or pleural nodules
- Regional lymph nodes that are clinically suspicious or confirmed by biopsy
- No distant lymph node metastases
- Extra-dural tumors arising in the bony skull
- No tumors arising in the intra-dural soft tissue or the intra-dural region
of the spine
- No evidence of metastatic disease, defined as any of the following:
- Lesions that are discontinuous from the primary tumor
- Lesions that are not regional lymph nodes

sarcoma are allowed
- Biopsy proven solitary nodules measuring 0.5 to 1.0 cm or multiple nodules
measuring 0.3 to 0.5 cm
- Solitary nodules measuring < 0.5 cm or multiple nodules measuring < 0.3 cm
