Summary

This clinical trial is studying the side effects of combination chemotherapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed localized Ewing sarcoma family of tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving the drugs in different ways may kill more tumor cells.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosis of extracranial Ewing sarcoma or peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor of bone or soft tissue:
  • Newly diagnosed disease
  • Disease confirmed by biopsy only with no attempt at complete or partial resection
  • Unplanned excision allowed provided adequate imaging was obtained prior to surgery and incompletely resected disease is controlled by local therapy
