description Background: Treatment of Ewing sarcoma (ES) requires multidisciplinary approach and deficiencies in treatment adversely affect the results. This study included patients diagnosed with ES and aimed to determine the factors affecting prognosis and investigate the efficacy of replacing actinomycin-D with carboplatin in consolidation treatment. Methods: Eighty-two pediatric ES patients diagnosed at a single institution between 2005 and 2020 were retrospectively evaluated. Clinical and epidemiological features, treatment modalities, prognostic criteria, and overall survival (OS) rates of patients revieved. In consolidation treatment, 22 patients were treated with actinomycin-D and 32 patients with carboplatin (500 mg/m2/dose), 24 patients could not receive consolidation treatment. The 5- and 10-year OS rates of the patients were compared. Results: The 5- and 10-year OS rates of the 82 patients with ES were 46% and 40%, respectively. The 5-year OS rates in the group with localized disease (n = 55) and metastasis (n = 27) at diagnosis were 54% and 26%, respectively (p = 0.006). When evaluated according to the consolidation treatment administered both the 5- and 10-year OS rates of the patients receiving actinomycin-D were 50%. The 5-year OS rate was 58% in the carboplatin group, and the 5- and 10-year OS rates of patients that did not receive consolidation treatment was 20%. Conclusions: Survival was significantly worse in the group that did not receive consolidation treatment. Furthermore, our results suggested that carboplatin could be used effectively as an alternative to actinomycin-D in ES consolidation treatment.
