title: Progress in the treatment of Ewing sarcoma: are the rumors of the demise of cytotoxic chemotherapy premature?
abstract: In this issue, Bollling et. al. review the development of treatment of Ewing sarcoma as it evolved over the past 30 years of clinical trials in Europe, largely under the leadership of Heribert Jurgens to whom this review is dedicated. The 44 authors were teachers, colleagues, students and co-investigators of Jurgens. The authors attribute the ability to make progress in the treatment of Ewing sarcoma through the establishment of larger and still larger cooperative studies in order to demonstrate statistically significant advances in the treatment of this rare disease.
