Incidence and survival of European adolescents and young adults diagnosed with sarcomas: EUROCARE-6 results.

Eur J Cancer

January 2025

Department of Medical Oncology, Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milan, Italy.

Background: Epidemiological data for sarcoma in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) and across age groups are limited.

Background: GALOP investigators developed a prospective cooperative protocol for localized Ewing sarcoma (ES) incorporating interval-compressed chemotherapy (VDC/IE, vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide/ifosfamide and etoposide). After completing conventional treatment, patients were randomized to 1 year of metronomic chemotherapy (vinblastine and cyclophosphamide).

Methods: Phase III randomized prospective trial.
