Ewing's sarcoma of the mandible.
Cure rates of Ewing's sarcoma have improved from 10% to 75% with the use of a combination of local therapy and aggressive multi-drug chemotherapy, to decrease both the incidence of local disease recurrence and the development of pulmonary and skeletal metastases. In Ewing's sarcoma of the mandible, complete surgical resection is preferred to irradiation for local control in those instances when surgery can be performed with minimal loss of function and disfigurement.
