Function after partial pelvic resection for Ewing's sarcoma.
Seven patients with Ewing's sarcoma of the pelvis were treated by chemotherapy followed by wide resection of the primary tumour. Although good function after operation is possible, survival in this series reflects the poor prognosis associated with the disease; two patients died, two are alive with local recurrence and metastases and three patients are alive with no evidence of disease.
