Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome: To analyse outcome (EFS, OS) of the entire group of patients. Quality of life: To describe the quality of life (QOL) longitudinally (i.e. during the course of treatment and thereafter) in patients and to determine the impact on QOL of the additional treatment (R1 and R3) after randomisation for consolidation treatment. Also when R2 patients have to remain consistent with EURO-E.W.I.N.G. 99, the assessment of QOL within the current trial does not violate any of the basic codes of practice defined within this treatment protocol. Value of Positron Emission Tomography: To examine the value of positron emission tomography in the diagnosis and treatment response of Ewing sarcomas. Time to Diagnosis: To investigate the impact of the time to diagnosis on the presentation and outcome of the patients. Add-on studies: Pharmacogenetic study: SNP-analysis data correlated with response and outcome data | — |
