Fifteen patients with localized Ewing's sarcoma were treated with 60Co teletherapy in doses of 5000 to 6500 rads and 1 to 2 years of systemic chemotherapy with vincristine and cyclophosphamide. All developed complete remissions of tumor, and 12 are surviving. Ten of the 12 have been continuously free of tumor since initial treatment for 91+, 84+, 67+, 31+, 21+, 19+, 17+, 12+, 11+, and 4+ months from diagnosis. The results suggest that this treatment is superior to other treatment methods with regard to extended tumor‐free remission and survival. Copyright © 1972 American Cancer Society
