Re: [Ewings Sarcoma] Regarding Treatment.

I have never heard of simply radiation unless it is
strictly paliative care meaning that it is just for
pain management and not for curative measures. my
first wife went to Mass General Hospital to a doctor
named David Harmon. he was simply the best and
wouldn't take any chances. i wouldn't go strictly with
radiation. the good part about radiation with Ewings
however is that it is very sensitive to radiation
therapy.
